Schmidt Art Center: Thursday, 13 September 2007
Memory
Absent: Peter Gifford
Barbed: Agnes Pal
Collected: Rachel Hayes, Courtney Henson, Christine Holtz
OPENING RECEPTION Thursday, September 13, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
This exhibit looks at the ways that works of art convey that most ephemeral aspect of our lives and identity - our memories. Peter Gifford's photographs of "non-places" such as highways, parking garages, and city parks speak about the gaps in our memory of a place. Agnes Pal's metal sculptures evoke her own childhood experiences in a German concentration camp in 1944. Sculptures by Courtney Henson and Christine Holtz are the residual artifacts of their collections and examinations of consumer culture, while Rachel Hayes's drawings visualize the many layers that combine to create and
obscure our childhood memories. Exhibit continues through October 26.
