DESCRIPTION:From June 7 to July 12\, the public is invited to view &ldquo
 \;The Once and Future City&rdquo\; by artist Bill Rybak in the Tomasulo 
 Gallery at Union County College.&nbsp\; The exhibition is inspired by th
 e City and urban infrastructure.&nbsp\; His interest in digital media st
 ems from the unique ability to render methodically and with a precision 
 that transcends the merely human\, to create visual metaphors for the ma
 ny layers of fecundity\, diversity\, obsession\, and creativity that inh
 abit the place where complexity begins to tip into chaos.The Opening Rec
 eption of the exhibit will be held on June 7 from 1-3 p.m. in the Tomasu
 lo Gallery. The public is welcome to attend.&nbsp\; In his artist statem
 ent\, Rybak explains that\, &ldquo\;The City is like a coral reef-- a th
 ing of heroic scale whose survival depends on themaintenance of a fragil
 e equilibrium between its many parts.&nbsp\; It&rsquo\;s a shelter to di
 verse millions whose homes and work places are built of the remains and 
 leavings of those who came before.It grows by a process of accretion and
  collective striving. The things we build are the projections of our dre
 ams and visions\; nothing is built that wasn&rsquo\;t first a vision or 
 a dream\, a picture in someone&rsquo\;s head.&nbsp\; And the Once and Fu
 ture City in all its unimaginable complexity and diversity is the produc
 t of a million visions and dreams.&rdquo\;&nbsp\; In addition to this ex
 hibition\, Rybak&rsquo\;s work was on display at the Museum of Art at Ca
 sa Colombo in Jersey City\, NJ.&nbsp\; In 2011\, his work was shown in t
 he exhibitions\, &ldquo\;Small Works&rdquo\; in the Kingston Museum of C
