FACULTY WORK EXHIBITED IN SLU'S BRUSH GALLERY
CANTON - The work of six faculty members in
fine arts at St. Lawrence University
will be in three exhibitions in the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery from October 15
through December 14.
"Four More," beginning in the gallery October 17, includes works by Assistant
Professor Melissa Schulenberg, Senior Instructor Faye Serio, Adjunct Assistant
Professor Lindy Strauss and Dana Professor Obiora Udechukwu. A discussion with
the faculty will take place in the gallery on Wednesday, October 24, at 7 p.m.
It is open to the public, free of charge.
Also beginning October 17 is "Stripes and Divisions," an exhibition of works by
Assistant Professor Kasarian Dane. Dane will give a lecture in conjunction with
the exhibition on Wednesday, October 17, at 7 p.m. in Room 123 of the Griffiths
Arts Center. It is open to the public, free of charge.
Of "Stripes and Divisions," Dane states, "Since 1997, I have been making minimal
paintings on aluminum panels. I use aluminum because the paint sits almost
flat on the surface, and the panels project the colored surfaces one inch off
the wall. The paintings are reductive, using horizontal or vertical stripes
and divisions of color...I have been told the paintings resemble flags,
though I have never intentionally painted any particular flag or sign.
What drives the work for me is the attempt to situate, in a 'solidified
way,' two or more colors together on a single surface."
"croagh: a fable" is a project by Amy Hauber, assistant professor of fine
arts; it will be in the gallery beginning October 15. A special performance
associated with the project will take place on Wednesday, October 31, at
7 p.m. in the gallery. It is open to the public, free of charge, and
costumes are encouraged.
Hauber states, "There once was a girl who was compelled to climb to the
tippy top of a mountain. The mountain that was given to her was the
tallest, pointiest and holiest in the land. All alone, and with thousands
of others, she climbed without shoes. Her feet were able to navigate the
loose rocks (that some people called 'scree') that shifted under her like
slow-moving waves. Even though she thought she would die on the mountain
(she was a girl who was plagued by visions of a premature and tragic death)
she did not fall off. She did not magically catapult upward into the
sky either. Instead, she, alone, reached the holy tippy top...When
the lucky girl was almost completely overcome by the beauty around
her and she started to feel her chin shaking and tears bubbling in her
throat, the tip of the mountain opened up under her feet and just like
a soft mouth it swallowed the girl down to the center of the earth...."
