Annual MCLA Student Art Show Opens at Gallery 51

09:50AM / Friday, April 24, 2009

View Slide Show
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Beginning Thursday, April 30, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts' Gallery 51 presents the "We Are for ART: MCLA Student Art Show."

The exhibit will begin with an opening reception on Thursday, April 30, from 5 to 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. It will include a performance of original student compositions written in aleatory and serial style by MCLA music professor Christine Condaris' students.

Throughout the year, MCLA Gallery 51 exhibits works by artists from around the world but, once a year, it showcases works by MCLA students, said Jonathan Secor, director of special programs at MCLA.

"This year marks the start of the new art major at MCLA. This show brings together work from newly declared art majors and students exploring their artistic voice," said Melanie Mowinski, MCLA art professor.

Coordinated by faculty, staff and students, the exhibition will feature work from the "Advanced Art Lab" course, which includes student-designed independent projects and a collaborative artist book from the "Interior/Exterior Project." Students enrolled in this course are Carl Bowlby, Nick Corbello, Merritt Fletcher, Signe Kutzer, Kate Malloy, Kaileigh McKinley, Brielle Rizzotti and Natalie Tottenham.

The show will also include work from new course offerings in graphic design. Nicole Bohle, Pam Buchanan, Melanie Coombs, Adam Duchemin, Alex Massar, Jenna McLain, Annee Reinhardt and Kira Smith invented symbolic and representational alphabets which will be exhibit as broadsides and in some sort of applied way including sound, book and installation.

There will be numerous artworks on display by students across the campus, as they reveal their own ways in which they are for art. Their explorations include sculpture, drawing, painting, photography, collage and more.

On Wednesday, May 6, the musical composition "Vexations," composed in 1893 by Erik Satie, will be performed by pianists from the MCLA community in the gallery. A revolutionary work, its performance lasts for a total of 18 hours and 40 minutes.

"We Are for ART" runs through May 24. MCLA Gallery 51 is at 51 Main St. and is open daily from 10 to 6. For more information, call 413-664-8718, or go to www.mcla.edu/Gallery51.
