The Eighth Biennial Faculty Art Exhibition at McDaniel College highlights a variety of works by current Art and Art History faculty members. The exhibition runs Nov. 22–Dec. 16 in Rice Gallery, Peterson Hall with an artists’ reception Dec. 1 from 5–7:30 p.m.
This exhibition is a rare opportunity to see the range and depth of works by select McDaniel faculty members.
Works in the exhibition include abstract paintings by professor Steven Pearson of Westminster, Md., iPad photographs by adjunct lecturer Walter Calahan of Westminster, Md., and wearable botanical art by adjunct lecturer Linda Van Hart of Union Bridge, Md.
In addition, adjunct lecturer Ken Hankins of Hampstead, Md., exhibits several pottery pieces and professor Susan Scott of Hanover, Pa., who specializes in Chinese and Japanese art history, displays four small hanging scrolls in the Chinese style.
Baltimore artist Chloe Irla, a visiting assistant professor and a 2007 McDaniel alumna, also presents intermedia and digital art from “Blaze Breakers,” an ongoing interdisciplinary project that, according to Irla, “utilizes analog and digital processes to distort, degrade and destroy the color blaze orange.”
The exhibition and reception are both free and open to the public. Rice Gallery hours are Monday–Friday from noon–4 p.m. and Saturday, noon–5 p.m. Call 410-857-2595 for more information.
