JEANNE SILVERTHORNE: WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
Through cast rubber sculptures, Silverthorne posits her studio as a metaphor for abandonment, collapse, and entropy as it relates to the absurdity of social constructs and the misguided perceptions of stability and constancy. Today as we reflect on the work displayed, created between 2009 and 2021 it becomes relatable to our current state of social isolation and displacement.
FIELD COMPANION: AN IMMERSIVE VIDEO INSTALLATION
Philadelphia-based artists Nadia Hironaka and Matthew Suib, known for their fantastical moving images and alternate realities, have created a new immersive film and installation for Rowan University Art Gallery. Field Companion, set in a microcosmic forest, is inspired by the pine barrens that dot Southern New Jersey.
FEDERICO SOLMI: THE BACCHANALIAN ONES
Using game engines, VR and AR combined with his drawings and paintings, Solmi creates satirical and clownish portrayals of controversial contemporary and historical figures.
The Center for Art & Social Engagement
The Center for Art and Social Engagement serves as a venue for investigating social issues through arts-based methods. Anchored by a permanent display of The Sister Chapel, a historic collaborative feminist installation, CASE draws inspiration from the cooperative spirit of the women’s art movement.
