The Corridor Gallery is the most public of the three Galleries. It is situated outside of the Main Gallery entrance and connects the Art/Music and Theatre wings of the Fine Arts Center. In 13 individual exhibition cases mounted on either side of the Corridor, the insistently linear Corridor Gallery features changing exhibitions of two-dimensional works by invited regional and faculty artists. It is also the accessible site for "Brown Bag" Gallery talks by exhibiting artists. Exhibitions developed for the Corridor Gallery frequently complement the content of adjacent Main Gallery programs; alternatively, they may provide a showcase for very different art materials and techniques. |

TURKEYS AND BUNNIES: Tina Tryforos
Tryforos, who earned her BA from Union College in Schenectady and her MFA from the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, currently teaches Digital Photography at Roger Williams University. Her ongoing photographic series of Turkeys and Bunnies use symbolic stand-ins to address the passing of time and the routines of ritual. They do so by documenting the celebrations of Greek Easter and American Thanksgiving by the artist's extended family. Turkeys examines the Americanfamilial ritual of roasting nd eating the Thanksgiving bird, while the Bunnies project is a metaphor for the act of portraiture, using a generic plastic lawn ornament incongruously fitted to distant natural environments. Gallery Talk by the artist to be announced. |
