Public/Private: The Arc of Longing
Reception: Wednesday, June 29, 4-6 pm Lunchtime Gallery Talk: Wednesday, July 20, 2016, 12:30 pm* What type of face do we show in public? What posture do we adopt when we know we are safe and out-of-sight? Artists in Public/Private: The Arc of Longing explore the intersection between the public and the private, and how these two parts of ourselves overlap in unexpected ways. Becky Barsi highlights the emotional intimacy and frailty of the figure in her “gravity” series of photographic portraits. Amy Larimer (PEA Summer School faculty), honors personal and community suffering through a large-scale sculptural memorial.Madison May’s charged, yet ambiguous mixed-media work delves into memory and personal trauma. Rachel Petruccillo’s graphic portraits, curious and humorous, examine the assumptions we make about others. Miranda Updike’s colorful paintings capture the movement patterns of the crowd. Leah Woods’ carved and bent wood sculptures celebrate form and texture. The work in Public/Private invites us to engage in close, attentive looking, both as a private act of contemplation, and through the shared experience of a communal event. Ben Putnam: The Process of Shaping Texture PEA Summer School faculty memberBen Putnam will showcase select works in ceramic and mixed media in this special spotlight exhibition. * Join artists from the Public/Private exhibition in a discussion about their work. A light lunch will be provided. This lunchtime presentation is free, but space is limited. Please RSVP to gallery@exeter.edu by July 13.
