this mixed media exhibition features the senior works of gabrielle sirkin and thesis photographs and drawings by serene al-kawas.

‘the son of a duck is a floater’ is the arabic equivalent of ‘the apple does not fall far from the tree.” our work functions similarly to this translation; once removed representations of our realities. through different approaches and media, we explore the notions of representation, creating new approaches for examining ourselves in a global society.

Art and education sparks dialogue at ACAC Artist Survival Skills Lecture by Luis Camnitzer

April 2nd, 2010 Admin Posted in Uncategorized No Comments »

By Ashley Easton

Art and education.

The two words paired together at this particular juncture in time tend to evoke a number of things: students, teachers, budget cuts, the rapidly dwindling arts programs in public schools, or perhaps private art schools and universities that now often teach not only fine arts but practical arts, like commercial illustration, animation, and graphic design. The topic of art and education, in fact, concerns a large number of working artists, whether they are directly involved in the classroom or not.

Artist and critic Luis Camnitzer’s talk at the Contemporary last Saturday focused on exploring the state of the relationship between the arts and education. About forty people attended the event to hear Camnitzer share his ideas and hopes of what education through art (and conversely, art as a vehicle for learning) might accomplish.
