The Schick Art Gallery and the ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Summer Art Program present the 2016 Summer Art Faculty Exhibition, a group exhibition of works in a variety of materials and styles on display from
July 25–August 5.
The Summer Arts Program teaching staff is composed of both year-round ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ College
art faculty and visiting artists. This year, the exhibition will present ceramics,
fibers, prints, painting, sculpture, and photographs by nine artists: Terry Conrad,
Jamie Diamond, Katie DeGroot, Borinquen Gallo, John Galt, Kathy Hemingway-Jones, Lauren
Sandler, Rena Wood, and Ilana Zweschi.
Jamie Diamond and Borinquen Gallo will be on campus this summer as visiting artists
for the ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Summer Art Program and will deliver lectures on their work and meet
with students. Photographer Jamie Diamond is interested in photography’s complicated
relationship to the truth; for a series of works titled I Promise to Be a Good Mother, she photographed herself in the role of her mother, donning her mother’s clothes
and hairstyle and using a lifelike doll as a prop. Fiber artist Borinquen Gallo makes
installations using discarded materials such as plastic trash bags, which she shreds,
knots, and twists to create complex and elegant objects. She writes: "My goal is to
elucidate an unexpected beauty from the transformation of mundane materials…."
