This exhibit explores the time (1974 ? 1979) when the Blue Marsh Dam project commenced, and investigates the subsequent permanent change to the land and the people who lived there.
The exhibit includes: contemporary and historic photographs, 绘画, 艺术ifacts and text that brings to the public the unconstrained beauty of the landscape lost during the construction of the Blue Marsh Dam and Recreational Area. With photographs of the working farms and historic 房屋teads and the haunting images of vacated 房屋 and barns,and 绘画 created by a young 艺术ist whose family was displaced by the project.
农场, 房屋, 村庄, 道路, and the heritage of those displaced are all but forgotten - except for those individuals whose lives and families changed forever. The photographs and 绘画 have never been gathered for one exhibit, nor has there been an exhibit that focuses on the Blue Marsh dam project.
A reckoning of the permanent transformation to the land, farms and families in the name of the construction of a dam that provides both flood control and recreation facilities is p艺术 of the heritage of Berks County and that should be recognized.

The objective of this exhibit is exploring various disciplines of science through the visual 艺术s. Six members of the Science Division faculty were interviewed via video. 从视频采访中, 艺术ists were invited to select a faculty member(s) whose research intrigued them or paralleled their own investigations. Artists were selected on their ability to interpret this material in an aesthetic way, using the information as a point of dep艺术ure for their creative endeavors. Art work may illuminate, define, or interpret the information provided.
建筑条件
2013年春季
建筑条件 is an exhibit of recent works from a collaboration that began decades ago, 儿时的朋友, 肯吹横笛的人, now a Professor of English at 宾州州立银行, 和拉里·米特尼克, an Architect and Associate Professor at the University of the Arts, 费城, began to engage in each others? 艺术.
(Right) Micro/Macro collage by Larry Mitnick inspired by a poem by 肯吹横笛的人.
Through the years, the two have written songs, made movies, and generally corresponded through 艺术. The current project began with Larry responding to one of Ken's poems with a collage; as the project developed to fill a one day cycle, sometimes the original poem would change with a new response instigated by the collage. A collection of twelve poem/collages, mounted together offers the viewer the interplay between words and vision.
?We met each other as children, growing up in the same Bronx Housing Project. Our collaborations, large and small, st艺术ed back then. We invite you to entertain our assumption that an identification of the architectural conditions can be embodied within poetry as well as in pictorial terms. The collages are not foremost meant to illustrate the poems but to locate their architectural conditions; the poems likewise do not seek to describe or illustrate the collages but to locate and share their spatial relationships,? 费弗和米特尼克解释道.
Exhibit through April 18, 2013
