Alchemy/Chemistry :: works by Zoe Friedman
Metro Gallery
Reception: Thursday, October 11 from 7pm to 10pm
Exhibition: October 11 – November 3, 2012
The exhibit features installation and video. Isolated images of nature are printed on paper and assembled to form large geometric landscapes. By photocopying found images, Friedman references the “infinite archive” that modern technology makes accessible at all times. Through repetition and inversion, extensive patterning reveals the hidden geometries that are always present within organic forms.

According to the press release: “It’s that time of year when we freak out over midterms and decide to party our stress away. Expect great art, performances, food and did I mention booze?” Sounds like a good time. More info:

Revealing the African Presence in Renaissance Europe – An Introduction
Sunday, October 14, 2012 2 pm – 3 pm FREE
Spend your afternoon exploring the groundbreaking exhibition, Revealing the African Presence in Renaissance Europe, with exhibition curator, Dr. Joaneath Spicer. An eye opening discussion will examine the little-known, but remarkable range of roles filled by peoples of African ancestry within Renaissance Europe. These roles include everything from farmers and slaves, to monks and aristocrats. European perceptions of Africans based on assumptions about the African continent, and the place of slavery in society will also be explored. This enlightening afternoon will conclude with thoughts on why these historical assumptions and representations still matter in our world today. Light refreshments will follow the talk.
About the Speaker Dr. Joaneath Spicer, the James A. Murnaghan Curator of Renaissance and Baroque Art for the Walters Art Museum, and curator of the exhibition Revealing the African Presence in Renaissance Europe, has been with the museum since 1990. Dr. Spicer received her BA from Smith College and PhD from Yale University (1979). Through her latest exhibition, Dr. Spicer explores the relevance of European political and cultural history today and the integral role of peoples of African ancestry in the society of Renaissance Europe. http://thewalters.org/eventscalendar/eventdetails.aspx?e=2760
