New Art Exhibit Open Until Nov. 22
The University Art Gallery at Truman State University presents “Dimensions Variable: An exhibition of expandable sculpture.” The sculptures ship small but expand, unfold, inflate, or assemble big. The exhibit opens with a public reception at 6 p.m. Oct. 10.
The show features work by artists from across the country including a 45 foot inflatable mouse, a sculpture assembled from open umbrellas, and a large cardboard insect. Aaron Fine, associate professor of art, and Jim Pauls, professor of art, are curating the exhibit.
“The show is inspired by the challenge of filling a large gallery in Kirksville with sculpture from all across the country,” Fine said. “Artists were challenged to propose works that could ship by standard UPS weights and measurements but would expand to install at a much larger scale.”
The University Art Gallery programs are presented by the Division of Fine Arts, and include national, regional, and student and faculty exhibits. The Gallery also relies on support from numerous other organizations and individuals in the Kirksville community.
Financial assistance for this project was supplied by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.
Gallery hours are 8:30 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday-Thursday; 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday; and noon-4:30 p.m., Saturday.
