“Towards A New Reality,” a faculty art exhibition
On display through March 5, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday-Sunday, 1-4 p.m.,The Connecticut College Department of Art
presents “Towards A New Reality,” a cooperative installation of works by
Associate Professor of Art Gregory Bailey and Professor of Art Timothy
McDowell. The sculpture, dioramas, prints and paintings that comprise “Towards
A New Reality” are responses to “the increasingly ominous data and subsequent
scientific warnings of the environmental situation underway on our planet,”
according to the artists — “the ever present, daily discourse on rising
temperatures, rising oceans, rising CO2 levels, and dangerous climatic changes
that seems to have us spiraling towards a new reality.” There will be an artist
reception open to the public on Wednesday, Feb. 19, from 5 to 6 p.m., with
an artist talk in the galleries from 4:15 to 5 p.m. For more
information, contact the art department at 860-439-2740.
