13 Sculptors
December 1 - December 11, 2009
13 Sculptors showcases the art of Sculpture Workshop students who worked independently realizing their unique visions beyond the constraints of classroom assignments. Through their personal journey these students identified concepts, techniques and materials, which they explored throughout the semester. This was a time for investigation and exploration of new skills and styles while developing existing abilities. Throughout the course professional practices were emphasized culminating in the student-led production and installation of this exhibition.
13 Sculptors includes works in a wide range of materials from small bronze castings to digital media to large-scale environmental sculptures.

Art & Ecology
ArtLab closing reception with the artists:
Thursday, November 19 • 4pm - 6pm
Art and Ecology Exhibit is a class project to showcase some of the student work and course content to encourage public dialogue about the issues addressed. We have been studying some of the major forms of artistic expression that engage ecological issues. The analysis of ecological perspectives through the lens of the arts is intended to enrich our understanding of current debates and their interpretation through art and design.
