The inaugural post has been motivated by the recent flood of exhibits, most noteably those of sculptural and installational origins. The evening of Friday March 2nd has opened with a brief display by Laleh Mehran's "Making and Exhibiting" class. The collection, titled "Everything Must Go," is the result of a class assignment entitled "This looks like art". From golden tigers to white-washed construction cones and animal crackers, this one-wall exhibit triumphs over visual boredom through the utilization of curious aesthetic voids. Less continues to be more.
Tony Smith's work, entitled "Clive Arrowsmith," is a powerful appropriation of vintage, photographic documentation. Tony said the original image was about two palms width, but his version spans a significant three feet. This enlargement allows us to consider the image with greater weight as we read its caption, "Makeup and a well-cut wig transform a model into a seeming clone of Lady Diana, showing any girl can be a princess for a day."
The exhibition runs through Friday, March 9 in the Lamar Dodd School of Art entry hall.
