"We Live in a Forest" by Christian Carson
Brockport, NY – One of the numerous ways that The College at Brockport is commemorating its 175th anniversary during the 2010-11 academic year is by turning the spotlight on its illustrious faculty and their accomplishments. Perhaps the most creative of these highlights is the Department of Art Faculty Exhibition. The free exhibition at the Tower Fine Arts Center Gallery, 180 Holley Street, Brockport, runs from September 13 – October 12, 2010.
The Department of Art faculty is comprised of nationally recognized artists working in a variety of media, including sculpture, digital photography, printmaking, painting, drawing, ceramics, mixed media while also incorporating new media technologies. Their works have been shown internationally and nationally.
Amongst the works displayed will be a new installation by Debra Fisher. Christian Carson has contributed a video, “We Live in a Forest,” that draws on themes of global sustainability. Gallery director Tim Massey, whose own works often depict his curiosity into nature and ritual, expressed that with such a prolific faculty, “everyone is bringing out their best.”
Gallery hours: Monday – Friday: 10 am - 5 pm, Sunday: 1 - 4 pm. For more information, call (585) 395-2805.
Parking at Tower Fine Arts Center: Weekdays: Until 6:30 pm, parking permits are required. Permits cost $2 and can be obtained at the Raye H. Conrad Welcome Center.
