Great Evening if Art at the Creative Space Gallery 4/19/18

Great “Evening of Art” with installations and performance! Marilyn Markech (‘18) performed part 1 of her Baptisms of the Artist, Jacob Schaffer-Scherrer (‘18) gave us a preview of some of the elements for his upcoming event and Advanced Sculpture students, Connor Rebis (‘18) and Jonah Levy (‘18) exhibited installations. Stay tuned, the next “Evening” is April 19th

As an introduction to our first project: LINE, PLANE, VOLUME students began engaging and altering a space with the use of LINE. Utilizing recycled string and staples guns within the walls of the CSG Gallery, students spent a class period Drawing in Space!

As an introduction to our first project: CONSTRUCTION from INSTRUCTION, and conceptual art making, Students in Intro Sculpture classes created Sol LeWitt Wall Drawings from original instructions in the CSG Gallery! Drawings are currently on display in the Art Building (Ceracche Center)

"Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) believed the IDEA itself could be the work of art, and maintained that, like an architect who creates a blueprint for a building and then turns the project over to a construction crew, an artist should be able to conceive of a work and then either delegate its actual production to others or perhaps even never make it al all."

Sol LeWitt wrote many instructions for Wall Drawings- to be executed by any-one other than himself.

Stop by today or tomorrow 12-5 and check out QUASQUI, a group exhibition celebrating 125 years of Ithaca College. Over 25 studio art and graphic design students are showing work.
