Our fascination with speed and movement through the air is probably as old as our ability to reason. Whether it be through mythological cautionary tales such as the flight of Icarus, or the scientific quest for technology through such visions as those proposed by the sketches of Leonardo DaVinci or Elon Musk, the concept has paralleled humanity's progress through the millennia in many forms, with many results. It seems even our subconsciousness carries a deeply rooted link to the process of flight, as many people recount having lucid aerobatic dreams. Like flight, velocity in general carries with it both technical, symbolic, and practical meaning. Speed (and velocity) is relative to time, distance, and direction. Manifest is interested in how these concepts, together or separate, are explored in visual art today.

FLIGHT is a gallery exhibit that brings together a range of works which address, explore, or present issues, concepts, forms, or images related to flight, flying, or velocity.
