An Arnheim Gallery exhibition October 2013 curated by Zachary Herrmann, Jill Slosburg-Ackerman, and Nicholas Sullivan.
Talk ToMost of us can name a work of art that has been a catalyst for our own thinking and production. This liminal connection might be an homage, a study, or even a negative retort. Each artist in this exhibition is presenting a work of art alongside the image of an inspirational work by another artist.
Lewis Hyde, the college’s recipient of the Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts degree in 2013, explores in his most recent book Common as Air our cultural commons, “the vast store of ideas, inventions, and works of art that we have inherited from the past and continue to enrich in the present.” This exhibition displays our indebtedness and connections to history and community.

Selections is a multi-disciplinary, multi-media exhibition in the Paine Gallery of work by MassArt faculty who are newly hired or who are returning from sabbatical. Don’t miss seeing “me_ meme,” the work of our own Laura Reeder, who is in her second year in the Art Education Department.
In a video on the college website, Laura says her installation is really about “how information is synthesized in an artist’s mind and how it’s put back out in contemporary media…. it’s a whole bunch of computers talking to each other around a few canvases that have multiple images.”
Selections will be up until December 7.
