NORMAN, OK, UNITED STATES, December 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Uncanny Art House will transform its downtown Norman gallery into an immersive, surreal environment inspired by filmmaker and visual artist David Lynch with In Dreams: A David Lynch Tribute. The exhibition opens Friday, January 9, 2026, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM during Norman’s Second Friday Art Walk and remains on view through March 1, 2026.

In Dreams features artists from Oklahoma and across the United States, including Michael Horse (Twin Peaks), alongside nationally and regionally recognized visual artists, filmmakers, and sculptors. Works range from direct cinematic references to atmospheric interpretations that capture Lynch’s signature psychological tension and dream logic.

The exhibition reimagines the gallery as a Lynchian dreamscape of immersive installations, projections, and multi-sensory environments. Highlights include a Black Lodge set built to stage performances throughout the run (and to serve as a backdrop during open hours), a blue velvet viewing room for video submissions, and an interactive studio installation where guests can step onto a film set while other visitors observe from the gallery. The selected works draw from themes central to Lynch’s work, including duality, voyeurism, distorted Americana, doppelgängers, and the uncanny hidden within everyday life.

The opening reception (Friday, January 9, 6:00-9:00 PM) will feature an Angelo Badalamenti-inspired musical soundtrack by Meteorology (Brett Fieldcamp). The reception is free and open to the public.
