Other Gallery
Feb 04, 2015 - Feb 04, 2015

The Marywood University Art Department DISTINGUISHED VISITING ARTIST LECTURE SERIES presents a lecture by New York painter MELISSA MEYER on Wednesday, February 4 at 3:00 pm. This special event will take place in Multi-Media Room 160 in the Learning Resource Center at Marywood, and will be followed by a reception in the Visual Arts Center. The lecture and reception are free and open to the public. 

Melissa Meyer creates large, vibrant gestural paintings comprised of energized brush strokes compressed into loose grid structures. She received both a BS and an MA from New York University, and is represented by Lennon Weinberg Gallery in New York. As a third generation Abstract Expressionist, her lengthy exhibition history includes solo exhibitions at Elizabeth Harris Gallery, New York; Holly Solomon Gallery, New York and Galerie Renee Ziegler, Zurich, Switzerland. Meyer's development has been surveyed in two major traveling exhibitions - one originated at the New York Studio School and the second at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania.

Meyer’s work is included in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Jewish Museum and many other public and private collections across the United States – including the Maslow Collection at Marywood. She was awarded a Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome and has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Pollock Krasner Foundation and a fellowship from the Bogliasco Foundation.

The Marywood University Art Department takes great pleasure in hosting this lecture in which Ms. Meyer will show images of her work and speak about her life, ideas and working process. Audience members will have an opportunity to meet the artist at the reception immediately following the lecture. This event is sponsored by the Marywood University Cultural Affairs Committee.

THE ENDLESS MOUNTAINS SPIRIT: M. C. Richards & Paulus Berensohn

Suraci Gallery
Mar 21, 2015 - May 08, 2015

A synergetic nexus of the arts occurred in Susquehanna County when clay artists and teachers Mary Caroline Richards and Paulus Berensohn lived and worked in Northeast Pennsylvania. During that time an influx of artists, dancers, writers, and actors visited and worked at the Endless Mountain Farm, a cooperative and a place of creative energy. Iconic books are associated with the Farm –– Towards Wholeness and Crossing Point: Selected Talks and Writings by M. C. Richards and Paulus Berensohn’s Finding One’s Way With Clay. The exhibition documents that place and time in our region, many of the people involved with examples of their work in clay, and a lasting legacy of creativity.

Reception: April 18, 6–8 PM

Gallery Talk: April 22, 3 PM
