The Shadow Views Trans Mission

The American automobile.  The symbol of status.  A means of transportation.  And tonight -- the focus of art.

Susan Tuttle, a good friend of The Shadow, invited him to the opening of a new art exhibit tonight entitled "trans mission".  As you might guess -- automobiles are the focus of this exhibit.

Artist Troy Paiva with one of his works

This exhibit utilizes all forms of media -- painting, sculpture and photography.  One might think that there is only so much you can say about an automobile in art -- but curators Peter MacLaird and Susan Tuttle have proven otherwise.
