CONSIDERING THE KYLIX

Mahady Gallery
Sep 06, 2014 - Oct 05, 2014

CONSIDERING THE KYLIX: Contemporary Interpretations of a Classical Form

The multi–disciplinary, invitational exhibition is curated by Maleyne M. Syracuse in conjunction with Peters Valley School of Craft. The kylix, the original ceremonial wine cup, first appeared as early as 900 BCE in ancient Greece. The word "chalice," the term used for the sacred ceremonial wine cup in Christian ecclesiastical services, is derived, via the Latin "calix," from the Greek "kylix." The kylix has appeared from time to time over the centuries, as artisans have recreated or reinterpreted the form using materials, processes, and aesthetics suited to their time. Contemporary craft artists were asked to reinterpret the form in their own style and materials. 

The exhibition includes over 50 contemporary interpretations by over 45 artists working in metal, wood, glass, clay, beading, felt, fibers, jewelry, and mixed media.

Gallery Talk: Sept 17, 3 PM given by Maleyne M. Syracuse, exhibition curator

FLIGHT of FANCY

Photographic Imagery of Reality in Imaginary Worlds by Chala Jan

Chala Janpraphasakul (Scranton, PA) was awarded a one–person exhibition in 2014–2015 at Marywood University by the selection committee for the Northeastern Biennial Twenty Thirteen. She also was awarded first place in photography. Her digital photographs each tell a story.

"It doesn't matter what story the image is supposed to tell. I intend for each image to trigger some idea and engage the viewer's perception to invent their own story. I use photography not to capture moments, but to capture my idea. Photography is my way to collect elements I need to portray my imagination."

ILLUSTRATION II: A Sampler of American Golden Age Illustration

Suraci Gallery
Oct 27, 2014 - Dec 07, 2014

The “Golden Age” in American illustration (1900–1940s) was a period of excellence and proliferation in print illustration. Advances in technology led to faster and inexpensive printing of books, magazines, and newspapers; publications and their accompanying illustrations had an unprecedented impact on American life, consumerism, and culture.

Organized by illustrator John Kascht, the works in the exhibition provide a range of styles and approaches in vintage illustration and early animation. Included in the exhibition are drawings and paintings by Franklin Booth, A. B. Frost, Dean Cornwell, Walt Disney Studios, James Montgomery Flagg, Al Hirschfeld, Henry C. Pitz, Norman Rockwell, and Herbert Morton Stoops. Preliminary sketches and studies are spotlighted, revealing the high level of draftsmanship and technical skill employed by these artists.

Gallery Talk: October 29, 3 PM given by John Kascht
