Title of Event: Kress Collection

Date and time of event: December 4 1pm

Location of Event: ELC

Type of Event: Walkthrough

This exhibition is very interesting. It is a collection of Renaissance and Medieval artwork from the Kress Foundation. I found all of the art to be fascinating. I was especially interested in the sculptures. It is really impressive how sculptures from this time period were so detailed and able to capture small details like movement and wrinkles in clothing.

Title of Event: Driftpoints: The Gleaners by Maggie Cardelús

Date and Time of event: December 3 at 2pm

Location of Event: Holmes Hall

Type of Event: Exhibition

I thought this exhibit was very interesting. The artwork seemed to have a lot of repetition, with each being a variation of the same/ similar piece. What set them apart was color, size, and possibly material. I liked that they were made of various woven materials, which made them 3D. This added an interesting element to the art. Although I didn’t make it to the opening event It was obvious these pieces were very meticulously made and with great attention to detail.

Location of Event: Samek Art Gallery
Type of event: Exhibition

I really liked the concept for this exhibit. It is meant to replicate the way in which the art was set up in the small apartment of the owner of the art. He grouped together specific pieces with each other. This adds a layer to the experience and understanding of the art pieces and is kind of like its own form of art. I really enjoyed the variety of the types of materials used in the art. My favorite piece was the drawing to the left of me. This was an interesting visual showing architecture and detailed drawing.
