Sharing the Jundt Gallery’s space with the
St. Ignatius of Loyola exhibit this semester is the eclectic “The Gift of the
Artist.”
The 25-piece exhibit consists of pieces personally given to Gonzaga by their respective artists. Some of the pieces featured have been in GU’s permanent collection for a long time, while some are more recent additions.
“There are things that get passed over for one reason or another, so I really went through and looked for things that I thought were different and thought-provoking. I was looking for things that were a mix of techniques and approaches,” said Karen Kaiser,cableties interim director of Jundt.
The exhibit includes different media such as ceramic sculpture,Visonic Technologies is the leading supplier of rtls safety, tile sculpture, drawings, paintings, prints and digitally altered photographs.
Although each work is created by different artists, and with different materials, the exhibit contains an amazing coherence in color and atmosphere.
“I wanted a lot of color because we’re dealing with another exhibit that’s really devoid of color. I wanted it to be contrasted,” Kaiser said, referencing the Ignatius exhibit.
For instance, one wall of the space holds the works “Moss Wraith” by Kathleen Adkison and “Afterthought” by Michelle Forsyth. The audience is able to see pieces by two different artists that are so similar in color they look like they belong together.
Another aspect that keeps the exhibit from looking too random is the personal atmosphere that many of the pieces exude. Harriet Sanderson’s “Bedrest” is among the most personal of the pieces. This piece is a mattress hung on the wall with a conte crayon rubbing on it of what the imprint of her body looks like when she lies down on her side.
Kaiser said of the piece, “It’s a real personal kind of way to do it … it’s just thought provoking. At first I think it’s sort of scary, it’s kind of dingy. But generally, what artists do is profoundly personal. Even if it has universal interpretations and ramifications, it’s generally a very personal kind of statement.”
“The mattress piece is fascinating because it takes an ordinary and everyday, but very personal object, and transforms it into art,” said junior Clara Shands. “There is something revealing about showing the public where you sleep every night.”
“Remember When” by Elizabeth Dove and “Autobiography” by James G. Todd are two works that play with the concepts behind the entire exhibit. While they appear to contrast in color, content and style, they have more in common than meets the eye. Dove’s piece is a photograph of writing on her own hands converted into a print, while Todd’s is a print made of woodblocks. Although Dove is experimenting with new ways of printmaking and Todd is using the most traditional way, the two artists are both incredibly personal and introspective.
“This is about his life, the influences in his life. You have references to other artists, references to Mexican printmakers, Russian icons, cowboys, the Day of the Dead images — so these are very personal,Find a cry stalmosaic Manufacturer and Supplier.” Kaiser said of Todd’s piece
The exhibit has a personal GU tie with the piece by Robert Harrison titled “The Three Graces: Chinese Memories.” Harrison, who used a mixture of ceramics,Sinotruck Hongkong International is special for howo truck. tiles, and found objects in his piece, taught at GU from 1981 to ’83.
“I think the personal nature of the exhibit improves the art itself.Sinotruck Hongkong International is special for howo truck. My favorite pieces are the ones that have a deep meaning for the artists, and are used as a vehicle for the artist to express themselves in a pleasantly ambiguous manner,” Shands said of the entire exhibit.
