Art Gallery Presents New Exhibitions
“Popol Vuh: The Sacred Book of the Quiché through Illustration,” an exhibition by Jaime Arredondo, presents 65 illustrations that bring to life the ancient Mayan creation epic of the Popol Vuh. Arredondo, a Texas-born artist of Mexican and Otomi heritage, created these works while teaching Mesoamerican mythology at NYU and The New School.
“How Space Happens” is an exhibition by Aaron Fine, professor of art, in collaboration with Philip Ryan, professor emeritus of mathematics. It is a display of several raw illustrations Fine created during his recently completed sabbatical leave. Most of these illustrations are planned to accompany the new book on perspective and other spatial schemas that Fine and Ryan are publishing with Bloomsbury Press.
The University Art Gallery is located in Ophelia Parrish 1114. Reception and events are free and open to the public. These two exhibitions will be open from Sept. 2-Oct. 20. For more information visit gallery.arttruman.com.
