Exploring the Art.

In "Extended Realities: The Language of Photomontage", each of the pieces are strictly photographs, altered through the artists' perceptions and ideals. Every photograph tells a story, and some are tied to one another in theme, or meaning, or both. They are meant to broaden horizons, allow for alternate thought process, and to capture the creativity stored within us all. It is artwork like the pieces we have in this show that allows us to stop and imagine.

With themes ranging from "Alice in Wonderland" to animorphic images of substituted objects and people, from upholstered chairs with a single stain to mushroom clouds replacing faces, and even to a simple progressional turn of the same lady's face at different angles, this new show allows for personal interpretation. How does the viewer take the piece, even after reading the plaques beside them for an explanation? How do they tie the photographs together, or see them as their own separate piece? How do they relate?

This is a show that allows pondering, imagination, and creativity to flow. We encourage everyone to come and check it out before it ends next month, in November. It is a wonderful installment unlike any other we've held at our Gallery before. Everyone is welcome, so bring your friends and family. Spread the word to visit and enjoy the show we have for you at our Gallery!

For the Weekend.

Making weekend plans? Not sure what you want to do just, yet? Stop by our Art Gallery at Rowan University. Bring some friends! Bring your family! The show we have now will be wrapping up soon, so make sure that you check it out before it's gone. Come and enjoy the pieces that you can interact with, come see the paintings inspired by the Beach Boys, and the cleverly sculpted braille woodwork and paper artwork! It's all spectacular and worth a see, and to share with those whose company you enjoy!

A Fun Weekend Ahead.

And, so, "Family Weekend" begins today! The Rowan University Art Gallery will be open today, Friday, September 27th, 2013, from 10 AM until 5 PM. So make sure that you and your families stop on by before the football game starts this evening! Tomorrow, Saturday, September 28th, 2013, the Art Gallery will be open from 12 PM until 5 PM.

Stop on by between the various events and activities that Rowan has planned for all of us this weekend! It will be a highlight of your parents visit, to show off all that you know about the gallery. Wander through a spectacular show and discover new interpretations and variations of language and speech that you may not have known before. Learn about the artists who took the time to create these wonderful pieces, why they did, and what inspired them to do so. Interact with several pieces and see for yourself how interpretation is all in the point of view of the beholder. It truly is fascinating! Come by and appreciate the artwork before the show ends, October 8th, 2013!

Family Weekend.

"Family Weekend" approaches here at Rowan University. As most of you should know, the festivities begin this Friday, September 27th, 2013 and last until Sunday afternoon, September 29th, 2013. This would be the perfect opportunity for you to bring your families to view the first exhibit of the school year, "Dialogic"!

A wonderful show on the importance of speech, in many different forms, and its insight in today's cultures and fashions, "Dialogic" is a semi-interactive installment that will capture your interests. With pieces spanning from all across the country, and some from foreign artists, this exhibit allows its viewers the chance to learn about different interactions of speech and text, and to experience new ways of observing dialogue.

So, stop on by during "Family Weekend" and show your school Gallery your support with your visiting families. They'll be sure to appreciate the show just as much as you will!
