Williams Art Seniors Exhibit Final Works - May 08, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN — Williams College Museum of Art is presenting "The Horse You Rode In On," the Williams College senior students' art exhibition that celebrates the culmination of each artist's work.
The exhibition will be on view from May 9 through June 1 and features the work of 14 art majors: Evan Barrett, Hannah Buchsbaum, Kim Dacres, Karina Godoy, Sean Hayes, Rory Jensen, Elizabeth Kohout, Ben Kolesar, Eugene Korsunskiy, Brandon Lucien, Elspeth Macmillan, Tony Maruca, Sophie Scully, and Amanda Zaitchik.
The show will open with a reception on Friday, May 9, at the museum, beginning at 7:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public.
The materials include oils, charcoal, ink, acrylics, cartoon animation, coffee, spray paint, rubber, and aluminum foil. The students’ works vary greatly, but share resonances, such as themes of beauty, grief, the body space, celebrity, conservation, urbanization, self-identity, hiding and chance.
The students have employed a variety of methods to create their art, such as monotype, dry point print, manipulating layers of Mylar and tissue paper, and more unusual methods, such as painting on plywood and Plexiglass, and sculpting masks from used tires.
The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sunday from 1 to 5. Admission is free and the museum is wheelchair accessible. For more information: Suzanne Silitch, director of public relations and external affairs, 413-597-3178, WCMA@williams.edu or www.wcma.org. |
