This Wednesday February 29th welcomes the opening of the exhibition, "How the Light Gets In" by Bekk Wells.

Closing Reception for 'Stripped' by C. Gauthier on Wednesday February 15th

Because we confused you all with an opening on a Tuesday, we decided to have a closing reception for Cindy Gauthier's exhibition, 'Stripped', on the traditional Wednesday afternoon around 4pm! (Specifically 4:30pm - it should last until 6:30pm, but we'll see if there's cake left until 7pm).

The reception will take place on Wednesday February 15th. The exhibiton won't be closed quite yet, but we wanted to fit in a reception before Reading Week.

Cindy has some pretty neat cakes up her sleeve...she likes to bake, and she's going to make two, actual 3D skull cakes! Come on down to Level 8 in front of the gallery, Locker #W138, for a sweet treat and some good times! We'll make sure we have beverages, too.

"Stripped" by C. Gauthier, Opening Tuesday January 31st

Join us next Tuesday January 31st at 4pm for the opening of Cindy Gauthier's exhibition, Stripped. Good conversation and refreshments can be found in front of the gallery as per usual!
The artist will be present to answer any questions you may have.

Hope to see you there!

Images & Review for 'Eternal Return'

"Artist Statement – “Eternal return is a concept posed by Nietzsche, which suggests that the universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur, ad infinitum. The story goes like this: at a lonely and solitary moment in your life you are confronted by a demon that informs you that your life will be repeated exactly as it has occurred, to the smallest of details. Nietzsche says the reaction to this news is indicative of one’s attitude toward life. Subsequently, every deed and moment carries an unforeseeable amount of weight, and every decision presses upon the rib cage. Life continues as a balance between paralysis, or the unwillingness to act, and the weightlessness of freedom from accountability. Time, instead of being linear and finite, is cyclical and endless." - Kasia Sosnowksi
