Three shows, Nine artists

"In Between" by Maria Elena Malovos

A powerful voice echoes through the Art Department galleries as the galleries are filled to the brim with photography, metal work and interfacing. The galleries will be open through Monday through Thursday from 12 p. m. to 5 p. m. and to 7 p. m. on Wednesday.

Filling the Gotov and Merlino galleries, the B.F.A photography show “The Seven” feature the works of students Daniela Benucci, Jasmine Clark, Patricia Fraser, Jacob Greedlund, Inia Laventant, Maria Elena Malovos, and Valerie Paignien. Each student’s series of photos followed their own unique theme, from shoe trees, to x-ray collections, to Xoloitzcuintes fans.

By Nancy V. Curran

Paignen’s piece was held in the Merlino gallery, showcasing a video of a woman speaking powerfully in French as she changes clothes and descries and masculinity and femininity of words.

Unlike the photography exhibit, Nancy Voegeli Curran’s show “Cosmic Lace,” located in the Dutzi gallery, featured only two paintings on panel and translucent material. By using gravity  as the a natural process, Curran created her work by pouring oil pain onto panel and translucent material and letting “the pour ooze out and let it do what it wants to do.”

"Heart Land" by Jeremiah C. Gusha

In the Werby gallery, Jeremiah C. Gusha explores the boundaries of nature and man-made tools, along with the perception of value in his metals and woods exhibition “Charting an Element of Utility.” “No matter how decorative or abstract,” he say, “All of my jewelry is designed to be comfortable worn and all of my implements are designed to fulfill their individual action.”
