SLU Piskor Lecture, Exhibition By Melissa Schulenberg: 'Still'

CANTON - An exhibition of work by Associate Professor of Fine Arts Melissa Schulenberg, titled "Still," will be in the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery at St. Lawrence University April 8 through May 16.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Schulenberg will deliver the Frank P. Piskor Faculty Lecture on Tuesday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m. in Room 109 of the Noble University Center.

The Piskor Faculty Lectureship was established in 1979 to encourage original and continued research among St. Lawrence faculty members, to recognize and honor distinguished scholarship and to afford the opportunity for faculty to share their learning with the academic community.

Schulenberg says of the project, "Most of my artwork for the past 10 years has been based on nature, initially focusing on minute objects, patterns and forms that I discovered while hiking or fishing, and progressing to a larger and broader reality as I incorporated aspects of personal events and the natural landscape. Expanding upon those themes, and broadening the methods employed to create the images, this exhibition explores my interest in 'manufactured scapes,' referring both literally to the natural landscape and also figuratively to imaginary and conceived realms. It focuses not only on printmaking and drawing, but also turns these two-dimensional elements into three-dimensional forms, accompanied by a video piece."

A graduate of Bowdoin College, Schulenberg holds a master's degree from Purdue University and an MFA from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She joined the faculty in 2002, and her work is frequently presented in juried exhibitions.
