Ten senior studio art majors at Gustavus Adolphus College will have their work displayed at the College’s Hillstrom Museum of Art May 5-27. The exhibition, Senior Exhibition 2012: Unveiled will hold an opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, May 5.
The exhibition is a culminating event in the studio art major’s curriculum and a required component of the major. The exhibition demonstrates the diversity of styles and approaches taken by the student artists, some of whom intend to continue studying or working in art after graduation.
On display will be works by Passang Chozom (New Brighton, Minn.), Samuel Hemmrich (Milaca, Minn.), Eydie Kramer (St. Peter, Minn.), Blong Lor (Brooklyn Park, Minn.), MaiYia Moua (St. Paul, Minn.), Cassandra Napoli (Chanhassen, Minn.), Heather Pallas (Apple Valley, Minn.), David Pedersen (Stillwater, Minn.), Zabrina Stellburg (Minneapolis, Minn.), and Evan Taylor (Mankato, Minn.).
Their works were created using a variety of different media such as painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, ceramic, or mixed media. Each artist is represented by artwork and by a personal statement reflecting his or her artistic goals and aesthetic philosophy. The exhibition was selected from a group of submissions by each artist, and the jury process was carried out by faculty members from the Department of Art and Art History.
The Hillstrom Museum of Art is located on the lower level of the College’s C. Charles Jackson Campus Center. Regular museum hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays and 1 to 5 p.m. on weekends. The exhibition and opening reception are free and open to the public. For more information about this exhibition or the Hillstrom Museum of Art, go online to gustavus.edu/finearts/hillstrom
