RECENT EXHIBITIONS

LOOKING FORWARD, LOOKING BACK

Looking Forward, Looking Back was an opportunity to celebrate the Rowan University Art Gallery’s art collection. The exhibition was organized around five themes - Abstraction and Experimentation, Art as Social Commentary, Art History as Inspiration, Figure Studies and Portraiture, and Sylvia Sleigh as Artist-Collector - that shed light on the Gallery’s unique collection history and collecting practices.

SUPERCELLULAR

SuperCellular was a site-specific immersive art gallery experience that combined sculpture, light, sound and moving imagery as a reflection of the astonishing and almost incomprehensible density and activity of the chemical molecules in our bodies. Inspired by neuroscience, cellular biology, and genetics, the installation contemplated the complexities and intricacies of living processes and the mysteries of cellular interactions.

MULTIPLICITIES

This exhibition presented photography that through humor, theatrics, and playfulness reframed and fractured conventional, binary perceptions about culture, race, and gender identities to one that is diverse, interactive and layered. Each artist explored stereotypes of their own cultural heritage and origins in order to break down misconceptions and to shift the narrative of what it means to be who they are as multidimensional Americans.

GENEVIEVE GAIGNARD: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Featuring Gaignard’s self-portraiture, collages and installations, To Whom It May Concern confronts nostalgic views of American culture. Through her exploration of race, femininity and class, Gaignard interrogates notions of skin privilege while challenging viewers to look more closely at racial realities.

CULTIVATED SPACE

This group exhibition includes works that resonate with the complexities and divergent perceptions attributed to gardens and cultivated spaces. On a personal and intimate level gardens are perceived as a place of refuge, solace and emotional centering. The larger, more broader impacts however, reveal the disparate interpretations of cultivated spaces from socio-economic and environmental perspectives. The works in this exhibition are not literal representations, but rather through artistic processes and intentions serve as an entry point in considering a myriad of intersections.

SYD CARPENTER EARTH OFFERINGS

Syd Carpenter identifies and honors African American farmers and gardeners with her new series, Farm Bowls, by integrating the universal form of a stoneware bowl with architectural and organic forms observed on farms.
