ART | 'Take the Long Way Home' 

ImageOut and Gallery Q are co-presenting "Take the Long Way Home," an exhibit of recent work by artists and married couple Nancy Topolski and Allen C. Topolski. This is their first time exhibiting together, and their work pairs well together — both reconfigure found materials and are explorations of personal and cultural themes. Nancy's new body of mixed media work is sourced from Visual Studies Workshop's Soibelman Syndicate New Agency Archive as well as her own collection of vintage imagery, and much of it was produced during her recent residency at VSW. Allen's sculptural work, from his "Things I used to Need" series, incorporates outdated and nearly outdated tools juxtaposed with painted imagery and lighting.

The exhibit continues through January 25. Gallery Q (in the Alliance Resource Center, 100 College Avenue) is open Monday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Tuesday through Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Admission is free. 244-8640; gayalliance.org.
