About the Exhibit
Sight, it is said, can bring us only colors or lights ...
and movements which are the patches of color changing position.
- M. Merleau-Ponty
To enliven both corners of the Polsky Building - drawing attention from one block to the next - artist team Steve Levey and Casey Vogt installed a series of colored, filtered lights titled Color Me Impressed #1-#4. The intermixed fluorescent and LED lights can be easily viewed both day and night and can be seen from the far parking lot behind the Akron Civic Theatre.

Casey Vogt grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado and after graduating high school moved directly to the ski resort town of Winter Park, nestled deep in the Rocky Mountains. He spent seven glorious years existing solely as a snowboard bum. However, after awhile the mind and body can only take so much abuse. Vogt followed a girl to Ohio, enrolled at the University of Akron, and fell in love with art. The girl didn't last long, but his passion for painting has never faded. Vogt received his Master's degree from Miami University, and currently resides in Akron, Ohio with his wife, and fellow painter, Laura Vinnedge.
