News The Drury Gallery

The Drury Gallery was designed by architectural sculptor Michael Singer while he was Marlboro’s visiting artist. Installations by Marlboro students and faculty and a wide range of national and international artists fill the Drury each year. It also serves as a visually compelling space for lectures and literary readings.

The Drury Gallery is open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday through Friday while the college is in session. For more information, call 802-257-4333.

Machine as Medium—Zachary Parks

Tuesday, February 7 through Friday, February 10

Marlboro senior Zach Parks presents a show of kinetic sculpture and drawing revolving around the theme of using mechanics as an artistic medium, where both artistic and technical methods constitute the process of making. Each sculptural piece is a functional machine, generally made from metal wire and other mixed media, and the drawings combine the use of nib pens and drafting tools. Zach’s Plan of Concentration focuses on art’s relationship to machines and technology, and his sculptures explore the notion of using machines and mechanical logic artistically.

The Ceramic Surface

Monday, January 16 through Sunday, February 5
Reception Jan

uary 25, 4:00-6:00 pm

The ceramic surface is often the most challenging and complete integration of an artist’s concept. This exhibit will highlight the individual approach to narrative, form and function of ceramic artists Justin Rothshank, Magda Gluszek, Andy Jackson, Kurt Anderson, Julie Guyot and Meredith Host. Emblematic of their process, though divergent in result, conscientious surface treatment is the common thread that carries through their work.

Progress?

October 25 through November 20
Opening Reception November 10, 4:30-6:30 pm

Curated by Craig Stockwell with Jeffrey Stuker

As artists we are often asked to consider progress while simultaneously and theoretically disbelieving it. It begins in school...with critiques seeking to endlessly better the work, move the work, take it further. In a simple sense one might simply

accept that the idea of progress and the impossibility of it coexist. Artists:  Humberto Ramirez, Jon Gitelson, Jon McAuliffe, Malcolm Wright, Anna Schuleit, John Willis, Martina Lantin, Cathy Osman, Greg Hayes, Tamara Reynolds, Craig Stockwell, Hari Kirin, Mary Reid Kelly, Patricia Treib, Christopher Page, Victoria Hely-Hutchinson, Tim Segar.

Inter-Glacial Free Trade Agency.ca – Lynn Richardson

September 12 through October 2

Sculptor Lynn Richardson exhibits her site-specific kinetic installation that examines the relationship between governments and corporations through the guise of a trade show. The exhibit focuses on the end products being marketed to the public, all branded with the same logo to convince the viewer that in the "new world" there is only one choice. Richardson, who received her M.F.A. from the University of Texas (Austin), teaches at Keene State College. She has exhibited her work throughout Canada, the United States and Asia, and is the recipient of the prestigious Jean Mitchell Foundation M.F.A. grant, which included an exhibit at the Cue Art Foundation in New York.
