Nature 2.0 / Advanced Digital Art is a class taught by Prof. Cary
Peppermint that explores art production in and of networked
environments. The framing research question for the course is: What
does it mean to be an ecological being in the context of convergent
ecological, digital, local, industrial, and global environments, and
how do we make networked art that “interrupts” this experience? That
is, how can artists create texts, objects, and happenings that
reinvigorate awareness of the ecologically and technologically
interconnected world in which we live?

Less than two weeks left to submit to ArtAwake 2012!  ArtAwake is unique – “an annual student-organized festival of creativity that gives life to a vacant urban space in Rochester, NY.”  Visit the ArtAwake website for more information.

If you missed the opening, it’s not too late to check out this year’s (en)Gendered exhibition “Failure is Impossible: Feminism’s Part, Present, and Future”, sponsored by The Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender & Women’s Studies and The Department of Art & Art History.  The exhibition continues at the ASIS Gallery in Sage Art Center and the juror’s selections are currently on display at the Art & Music Library Gallery.

Also coming up: one of the Department of Art & Art History’s talented alums will be speaking this Friday January 27th.  Go check it out!

The last show of the semester is now up in the ASIS Gallery at Sage Art Center.  The show includes a wide variety of work, featuring students in Introductory 3D, Introduction to Studio Practice, and Issues in Advanced Drawing.  Lauren Blair, Bonita Sur, Alyssa Smudzin, and Janelle Sandefur are also showing independent study work.

The reception will be next Monday December 12 from noon to 2pm.  Please join us for your last chance to see this great show!

Professor Heather Layton recently returned from Elon University in North Carolina where she had an exhibition and lectured about her work.  Heather teaches Introductory Painting, Advanced Painting, Senior Studio & Seminar, and Performance Art & Social Intervention.

Don’t forget to check out Tim Massey’s mixed media drawings currently on display in the Art & Music Library Gallery (through the end of the semester.)

Find information about the Art & Music Library Gallery here.

There was a good turnout at the ASIS Gallery last Friday for the closing reception for Three-Legged Race: The Art of Collaboration.  Students, faculty, staff, and friends enjoyed the collaborative works, played Pictionary, ate PB&J and cookie splits, continued to add to the communal drawing on the collaboration wall, and listened to musical covers and collaborations!
