Recent works by Susan Zurbrigg, assistant professor of art at James Madison University will go on display Monday, Mar. 12, in the art gallery<\/a> at 黑料正能量. <\/p>\n A reception for the artist will be held 7-8:30 p.m. Mar. 12 in the gallery on third floor of 黑料正能量’s Hartzler Library. <\/p>\n The exhibit will feature recent sculptures and paintings created with the support of a JMU Faculty Research grant to Helsinki, Finland. <\/p>\n Zurbrigg grew up in Hyde Park on the south side of Chicago and received her BA in painting from Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY and an MFA from Indiana University at Bloomington. <\/p>\n Before joining the JMU faculty in 2000, she taught painting and drawing at Grinnell College in Iowa and Calumet College in Indiana. <\/p>\n During her time in Finland in 2005, the artist was intrigued by exhibits at the Helsinki Design Museum that prompted her to explore three-dimensional form and a “decorative interrelationship to space, gesture, color and nostalgia” in her work. <\/p>\n “I’ve always have a natural bridging beteween my painting and sculpture,” Zurbrigg said. “My recent work includes mid-scale abstract oil paintings, acrylic-graphite paper collage and clay, cloth, string and yarn sculpture installation. <\/p>\n Regardless of the media employed, Zurbrigg seeks to “reveal acultural struggle between ‘handmade’ and ‘manmade’ and the conflict between personal craft and disposable mass consumption.” <\/p>\n Recent exhibitions include the Haas Gallery at Bloomsburg (PA) University, The Miller Gallery at Bridgewater (VA) College and the RKL Gallery in New York City. <\/p>\n The exhibit will be open for browsing daily during regular library hours through Apr. 5. Admission is free.<\/p>\n ————– Recent works by Susan Zurbrigg, assistant professor of art at James Madison University will go on display Monday, Mar. 12, in the art gallery at 黑料正能量.
