Noise and bustling at the galleries

From "Catalyic"
The student art galleries between building FO2 and FO3 take a contrasting approach this weeks as one side remains quiet and subtle, while the other tacks a more interactive approach. Gallery hours are from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday, from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., is the final day for the exhibits. Exhibits are closed Thursday for Veterans day.

TVs in the dark of "Of and if at is"
The sounds of music and audio tracks can be heard outside of the Gatov galleries. “Catalytic: Communities Networks Participation” is not only a gallery, but a series of social projects encouraging inter-connectivity between the audience and the world. A forum will be held Wednesday from 7 p. m. to 8 p. m. with a round table discussion of the exhibit with the curators and some artists. The gallery Catalytic was organized by an AH 497 class with Professor Karen Kleinfelder.

Next door in the Merlino gallery, Colin Lindsay’s exhibit “Of and if at is” also engages viewers in an interactive experience. Television sets are stacked ominously at the center of the black room, projecting images of contrasting rolling waves and bright explosions as an audio track guides the listener into a deep state of relaxation. “I think I was going for a bastardized Zen moment,” Lindsay jokes.

Quieter than the other the galleries, Joanne Gonzalez’s “Complex Projections,” located in the Dutzi gallery, presents a series of simple  photographs thumb-tacked to the walls with white, paper borders to simulate the look of a Polaroid. “The Polaroid 600 is a format that has gained nostalgic attention after its recent discontinuation,” said Gonzalez
From "Out if Line"

In the Werby gallery, Lizbeth Navarro presents a deep appreciation for lines and their relation to nature in her ceramics show “Out of Line.” “A line is a trace of a constantly moving world.” she said, lines are the building block of everything. The gallery is presented as an insulation piece with line art and triangle embedded into the ceramics.
