SUMMARY:Make No Loud Noise: Pato Hebert
DESCRIPTION:November 6 – December 7\, 2015 \nMake No Loud Noise is a solo exhibition by artist\, educator\, and cultural worker Pato Hebert. Several central works anchor the show. “51 Synonyms for Oscillate” takes the form of a word search consisting of dozens of mirrored acrylic letters that contain multiple\, hidden variations on the experience of oscillating. In 2014\, Hebert began a series of performance-based photographs entitled “In\, If Not Always Of.” The mirrored Oscillator figure featured in this work appears in various landscapes\, often upending any strict distinction between self and context as the figure’s contours become indistinguishable from its surroundings. This series now consists of nearly 70 images\, seven of which are presented here together for the first time. A third large work features a large grid of photographs portraying the feet of delates attending the International AIDS Conference held in Melbourne\, Australia\, in 2014. Taken together\, these images demonstrate the sheer volume and flow of traffic\, while individually the photographs underscore the personality\, culture or purpose of specific delegates. In these and other works\, Hebert exhibits a sustained interest in the aesthetics\, ethics\, and poetics of interconnectedness. \nHebert is the third artist exhibited in the String Room Gallery to be supported by the college’s recently established Scholar In Residence program. During his time on campus\, he has worked with students to create two collaborative works\, one of which is included in this exhibition. Following his visit to campus and several workshops with students\, he will produce a site-responsive work to be installed in the Louis Jefferson Long Library in early December. \nHebert’s recent projects have been presented at Beton7 in Athens\, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb\, the Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen\, and The Glass Studio at The Chrysler Museum in Norfolk. In July he was an artist-in-residence with the Neighborhood Time Exchange project in West Philadelphia. Hebert’s work has been supported by grants from the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Creative Work Fund\, the National Education Association and a Mid-Career Fellowship for Visual Artists from the California Community Foundation. In 2008 he received the Excellence in Photographic Teaching Award from Center in Santa Fe. He teaches as an Associate Arts Professor in the Art and Public Policy Department at Tisch School of the Arts\, New York University. He has also worked in community-based HIV prevention initiatives with queer communities of color since 1994. He continues this grassroots work through his current projects with the Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF)\, where he helps to develop innovative international approaches to community mobilization and advocacy. \nImage: The Oscillator in Tualitin Hills Nature Park\, from the ongoing series In\, If Not Quite Of. 2014.

SUMMARY:Senior Thesis Exhibition 2015
DESCRIPTION:May 4 – 16\, 2015 \nThe Wells College Visual Arts Department is proud to announce the annual Senior Thesis Exhibition. The exhibition features the final work produced by the Department’s seven Studio Arts seniors and serves as the culmination of their course of study. \nRegina Agoruah (Atlanta\, GA) developed her love for photography after taking a film photography class at Wells. Her photographic work focuses on unique communities that deal with social\, cultural and political issues. She uses photography and video in her thesis work to document a historical tattoo shop from her hometown. Upon graduating she intends to travel to Shanghai and Tokyo to continue her arts education. \nTyler Bischoff (Allendale\, N.J.) has been practicing his discipline on the potter’s wheel and free hand sculpting since attending the Gow School in South Wales\, N.Y. He decorates his utilitarian ceramics in an abstract expressionist aesthetic to emphasize the performance of both making the vessels and underglazing his work. Tyler plans to renovate his family barn and open his own ceramic studio by the Fall of 2015. \nJohn Broughal (The Bronx\, N.Y.) developed his skills as a painter during his time at Wells College. He is experimenting with ideas of potential\, and views his work as an appreciation for traditional standards in painting made evident by giving abrupt examples of why these standards were made. \nShalisa Chang’s (Brooklyn\, N.Y.) love for art matured when she became involved with Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation. Shalisa was inspired by her study of film photography during her time abroad. In this work she brings attention to the strength of the female body through different photographic perspectives. Shalisa will be participating in the SHARP/Snug Harbor Artist Residency Program this August and September. \nMelissa Hendrickson (Oneonta\, N.Y.) uses acrylic paint on canvas to depict a series of animals interacting with objects as though they are human. Her paintings rely on a strict set of rules regulating how she constructs an image and utilize the same quick humor associated with techniques common to the Internet and Photoshop. Melissa juxtaposes that humor with the laborious process of painting to create a realistic yet altogether absurd image. \nAlex Torea (Aurora N.Y.) has focused his practice in aerial photography supported by wooden sculpture. His artwork is an installation piece including both mediums. His work expresses his love for flying and captures the fleeting moments that few can see from above. Alex plans to pursue a career in aviation and photography after graduation. \nHyla Waldron (Auburn\, N.Y.) is a multi-disciplinary artist. Over the past year her work has focused on relational aesthetics. Hyla creates environments that foster trust with the intention of inspiring adults to play. In addition to attending Wells full-time\, she lives in Auburn\, NY with her husband and four children.

SUMMARY:To The Waters and The Wild: Rita Leduc
DESCRIPTION:March 19 – April 24\, 2015 \nThe work comprising “To The Waters and the Wild” was created during Leduc’s frequent visits to the Wells College campus during the fall of 2014\, and finalized during a residency on campus made possible in part by funding from the College’s Scholar In Residence program. In a process she describes as “integrated painting\,” Leduc works on-site to create gestural brushstrokes on translucent substrates\, producing a visual collaboration between paint\, landscape\, and vantage point. She then records this encounter through photography and video. The resulting hybrid images cite the tradition of plein air landscape painting\, while underscoring the contingent confluence of space and perception in the moment of encountering the natural world. While an audience familiar with the Wells College landscape will inevitably seek to identify familiar sites in this work\, Leduc’s photographic depiction of painted gestures and slick reflections invites viewers to identify both with her process and her exploration of new environments. \nLeduc’s work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in venues in New York City and surrounding areas\, most recently by Project 59 in Brooklyn\, and in a two-person\, multi-media exhibition entitled “I Like You Better Now” in Buffalo\, NY. Leduc earned her MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University\, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, and BA from the University of Pennsylvania. Leduc currently serves as Project Manager for No Longer Empty\, an organization dedicated to developing community-oriented exhibition programing in Brooklyn. \nImage: 09.30.14 Amphitheater (Wells)\, acrylic\, marker\, gaffer tape\, amphitheater lawn\, etc.\, dimensions variable\, 2014

SUMMARY:Primer For Well Water: Justin Randolph Thompson & Bradly Dever Treadaway
DESCRIPTION:October 23 – December 3\, 2014 \nJustin Randolph Thompson and Bradly Dever Treadaway have collaborated over the past 15 years through the mediums of photography\, installation\, video and performance. Their collaboration revolves around ideas of cultural clash\, generational divide\, social hierarchies\, the resonance of collective and personal identity and a legacy of spiritual ascension. Their upcoming String Room Gallery exhibition\, “Primer for Well Water\,” is an installation and performance that examines the social cleansing and eroding powers of water. Drawing its title from allusions to Robert P. T. Coffin’s celebration of American Culture in his “Primer for America” and from Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem “Primer for Blacks\,” the piece takes an interdisciplinary approach to collective and specifically documented identities from Afro American and Euro American inheritance. This exhibition will feature work from throughout their careers\, and will include works completed on site in collaboration with Wells College students. \nJustin Randolph Thompson is a sculptor and new media artist born in Peekskill\, NY. Living between Italy and the US since 2001\, he has exhibited internationally and participated in numerous residencies in the US and in Europe. His work explores the historic implications of triumph\, victory and ascension by re-contextualizing references from Roman antiquity and mending these with aspects of African-American culture both past and present. \nBradly Dever Treadaway is a Brooklyn based artist and teacher utilizing photography\, video\, film and installation to emphasize socially conscious themes and self-awareness. He works as both a Faculty member and the Digital Media Coordinator at the International Center of Photography in New York City. His work revolves around fleeting family histories visualized through domestic rituals and the loss of cultural tradition\, aspiring to reunite present and past through visual metaphor. \nThompson and Treadaway’s shared accolades include a Fulbright Fellowship and a Jerome Fellowship to Franconia Sculpture Park. The artists’ work can be found in the collections of the Brooklyn Public Library\, the Mobile Museum of Art and the Center for Photography at Woodstock.

SUMMARY:Illusions: Julia Forrest
DESCRIPTION:September 11 – October 8\, 2014 \nForrest’s photography is rooted in traditional Black and White darkroom processes\, exploring the unique visual and spatial possibilities of images created solely in the lens. Describing her process as “[challenging] the notion of the landscape by referencing what makes a photograph\,” Forrest depicts her female subjects enacting interventions on the pictorial logic of the photograph itself. She draws inspiration from Greek mythology and Pictorialist photographic tradition\, creating work with a distinctively allegorical\, surreal quality. Illusion will consist of selections from three bodies of work\, each of which demonstrates unique strategies for her ultimate project. \nForrest teaches photography at the Brooklyn Museum\, Medgar Evers College\, the Newark Museum\, and Lehigh University\, and in recent years has worked as an assistant to photographer and video artist William Wegman. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in numerous venues in and around New York City and New England. Forrest earned a BFA in Photography from the University of Hartford\, Hartford Art School.

SUMMARY:Henry Wesselwoman: Alli Miller + Trey Burns
DESCRIPTION:March 19 – April 24\, 2014 \nAlli Miller + Trey Burns have an ongoing collaborative practice through which they explore liminal\, hyperbolic\, and humorous visions of the American commercial landscape. This latest effort features work stemming from a character they’ve designed named “Henry Wesselwoman\,” a direct revisionist reference to the New Topographics generation of landscape photography. They will employ photography and installation to engage with and reconsider this history. \nMiller + Burns’ past exhibitions featured a collaborative archive entitled “Wessel Castle\,” derived from their travels through the American landscape. Miller is an artist and designer working in Los Angeles\, whose work is premised on the investigation of liminal moments to underscore the psychosexual\, relational\, and linguistic trends of display and consumerism. She received a BFA from Cooper Union and is currently an MFA candidate at the University of Southern California. Burns holds an MFA in Painting & New Media from the Savannah College of Art & Design. His practice examines the humors and banalities of monoculture\, documenting the peripheries of the post-industrial United States. \nMiller + Burns’ collaborative work has been featured in recent exhibitions including at et al Projects\, Brooklyn (2013); Fountain Art Fair\, New York (2013); May Gallery\, New Orleans (2013); and BRUCENNIAL\, New York (2012). Together they have produced two artists’ books: Wessel Castle (2013) and Shore Signs (2012). \nImage: Alli Miller + Trey Burns\, “The New Topographics (Los Angeles\, 2014 / Every Woman’s a DJ)”

SUMMARY:Throughline: Sayward Schoonmaker
DESCRIPTION:October 24 – December 6\, 2013 \nSayward Schoonmaker‘s work centers around the use of clichéd and intimate language\, often taking form as poetry installed on walls\, spoken in recordings\, or in collaboration with moving images. Whether spoken or printed\, her texts benefit from her careful attention to the shape\, sound\, and space between words\, resulting in emotionally potent\, delicately crafted work. She describes her work as beginning with “a witness to intimacy\,” leading to artwork that explores the “sincere gravity and exaggerated sentimentality of emotional transition.” The exhibition “Through Line” is comprised of video\, sound\, installation\, and poetry\, and will be augmented by a performative artist talk prior to the opening reception. \nSchoonmaker’s work has been featured in galleries\, journals\, and performance venues. Recent exhibitions include shows at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and Gallery 400 at the University of Illinois Chicago. Originally from Plainfield\, NY\, Sayward Schoonmaker completed her BFA (2007) at Skidmore College and MFA (2010) degree at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She currently lives in Johnson\, Vermont and is an instructor in the Department of English at Johnson State College.
