Get Real

One my professors from college, Mark Hanavan, will be in Get Real. This show will be December 2 at 6:00pm at Pop Revolution Gallery.

There exists a duality in the contemporary usage of the phrase “Get Real”. The expression requires us to face and question reality simultaneously. This pairing of words also implies that we need to change our ideas of reality according to someone else’s standards. Working in a manner that requires a keen eye for detail and direct observation, these artists give us a unique perspective on a society that is hyper-connected through technology, social, and visual media. Although this is not overtly the subject matter with which each of the artists is working, there exists a contemporary thread that is woven throughout all of the works as they were created by artist of this time. As they observe a visual image or object in space, understanding how to duplicate it with physical media and light is just the beginning of their attempts to understand what ramifications its reality may have on their own realities in the art-making process and on themselves. In the end, what purpose do these works of art serve in the conversation between us and our visual culture?

The Old Man’s Cave area seems to be one of the more popular areas as it’s hard to get a photo without people in it during the fall and spring months. The main trail follows a stream that has many of the waterfalls to be found in the park (Upper and Lower Falls as well as many smaller unnamed falls).

The trail at Conkle’s Hollow runs along the floor of a gorge where the sides slowly narrow til they finally come together to a spectacular finish at the end of the trail. In the spring, there are three waterfalls to be seen at the end (two are normally dry by mid-summer). You’re not allowed to step off trail in this section of the park, so try not to be tempted to peer around rocks and corners like I sorely was (especially when I could hear a fall on the other side).

My favorite area of the park, Cedar Falls, is the largest and most majestic fall in Hocking Hills. It’s also one of the most photographed waterfalls as well. If you want to see something spectacular, come here in late winter when it’s frozen over. Pictures just don’t do it justice.
