LISTSERV 16.5 - ARLIS-L Archives

Queens College Art Center, the host of the 2004 ARLIS-NA Members' Exhibition in the spring, is pleased to invite you to its seventeenth season in the Rosenthal Library gallery. We shall present exhibitions no. 131-134 here (they were preceded by seventy five shows in Klapper Library from 1980 to 1987.) The new season will bring art in a variety of media - paintings, prints, sculpture, ceramics, masks, multimedia - by artists of diverse backgrounds who, however, all work in or not far from New York City and, in a pleasing coincidence, share ties to Queens College.

The first exhibition opens this Thursday, September 9, and shall stay on view through October 27. By Land or By Sea: Dennis Cady, Paintings, Prints and Sculpture, 1982 - 2004 presents landscape imagery captured in paintings on canvas, watercolors, woodcuts, monoprints and linocuts, from the United States, Canada and Europe, and recent figural wood sculptures. Cady is based in New York City and the Hudson Valley, is associated with the Godwin- Ternbach Museum and represented in the College's art collection. The artist will give a gallery talk on September 7 from 5 to 6 pm, and a reception will follow until 8 pm. We hope and look forward that you will be able to join us.

Yiannes: Ceramic Sculpture will follow November 3 - December 23. Co-sponsored by the Foundation for Hellenic Culture, New York, which will present a complementary exhibition Yiannes: "Defense" (November 9 - December 7), it will showcase clay and multimedia sculptures selected from the artist's work of the past three decades. The Greek-born Yiannes is currently on the faculty of the College's Art Department, which co-sponsors the exhibition.

The spring will open with Time and the Tabletop: Still Life Paintings by Harold Bruder, 1998 - 2004 (February 1 - April 7, 2005), an exhibition of recent work by the pioneering and influential American realist. Professor Emeritus of Art, Queens College 1965-1995 (Chair 1982-1985), Bruder will introduce his new artwork to the College. The Art Department co-sponsors the exhibition.

As the season’s finale, we shall present Suzanne Benton: Face & Figure: Selected Works, 1955 - 2005 (April 12 - July 14, 2005), an exhibition welcoming an alumna (BA 1956) with a lifework of a strikingly humanitarian and multicultural artist. Included will be sculpture, multimedia works, paintings, drawings, monoprints and metal masks in which Benton deals with the human form and explores the varied aspects of the human experience.
