Out of Place

By Paul Friswold

Published on December 26, 2007

In addition to being one of the most peaceful libraries around, the University City Public Library (6701 Delmar Boulevard, University City; 314-727-3150) also presents more than its fair share of tasteful art shows. Not that anyone's complaining — an art show in a library means there's no one trying to impress the other art lovers with a learned discourse on the exhibition for fear of a knee-buckling "shush!" from the librarian. University City resident Anukriti Sud Hittle maintains the gallery's excellent reputation with her current show, Terra Nostra: Landscapes Real & Imagined. Her digital collages combine a place (French resort town La Baule, for example) with layers of flora and light to create an evocative depiction of the emotional connotations of a location. Terra Nostra remains on display daily through Wednesday, January 30.
