It's almost certain that the $6.34 million renovations for Drake Well park won't be completed (or possibly even started) by the time the Oil 150 celebration ends in December 2009
Allegheny College's annual Senior Projects Exhibit, an opportunity for graduating studio art majors and art and technology majors to present their senior projects to the public, will open with a public reception in the Bowman, Penelec and Megahan Galleries on Tuesday, Dec. 9, from 7 to 9 p.m.map
“Shaping Spaces,” the title of this semester's Senior Projects Exhibit, will feature the work of eight artists. Jesse Beauchamp, majoring in studio art and geology, will construct an installation evoking the dramatic and secretive rearrangements of American landscapes that are the result of fossil fuel extraction.
Two art and technology majors will show their work: Rachel Berenson will invite gallery viewers to explore exotic locations through a web site she has designed, while Jessica Zeidler will juxtapose technical culture with traditional craft in an installation that combines digital forms with hand-sewn pieces.
The work of five studio art majors will be presented. Tom Kierzkowski will create a fantasy-narrative-installation that explores the limits of surveillance and privacy in a wired world. Calahan Malone will present a series of drawings that explore the fluid boundary between reality and imagination. Erin O'Boyle will present a children's picture book about an English teapot who generously offers assistance to her American friend. Andrew Slemenda will provide gallery viewers with a participatory experience, combining performance and installation to expose cultural ambivalence and anxiety about sexism, consumerism and nationalism. Maja Sweeny will show a series of prints depicting dream imagery.
The exhibit can be viewed through Tuesday, Dec. 16; please call for special hours during this exhibit. The Art Galleries, which are wheelchair accessible, are located in Doane Hall of Art, east of North Main Street, between College and John Streets. For additional information, call 814-332-4365.
