Art & ES Collaboration Update: Responses to Geothermal
Sunday, December 4th, 2011Art + Environment Project Info Session
Thursday, December 1st, 2011Here’s a pretty dorky yet informative open letter from the kids running the now-infamous “environmental art project”:
Greetings Skidmore Artists!
Gordon MacPherson & Alex Ethier (that’s us) have been collaborating with professors and the administration to make sustainability initiatives at Skidmore more visible to the campus community, and we are now excited to invite student artists to join us in the next phase of this project. We are hoping to work with students who are interested in designing and creating permanent art installations for the College campus.
We know that there has already been some discussion about the project, but the project framework have evolved dramatically to incorporate many of your concerns and suggestions. As such, we would like to invite any and all members of the Skidmore community to join us for an information session this Friday, 2:00pm, at Saisselin 308 so we can clarify the details of the project and our motivation behind it, as well as discuss the ways you might want to become involved. If you have questions that need clarification or ideas to present, we hope to see you this Friday.
Thank you,
Gordon & Alex

alex.r.ethier@gmail.com
And it sounds like they’re going to post a video of the info session online, in case you can’t be there tomorrow. We will link to it here when we get it.
So one more time:
Friday, 2:00pm, in Saisselin 308
Check it out.
Kiki Smith at the Tang
Sunday, September 11th, 2011
Smith's Untitled (Head of Kuan Yin)
On September 17th, I Myself Have Seen It—an exhibit of artist Kiki Smith’s photography—will open at the Tang. Though she is mostly known for her work in other media, Smith’s photography is pretty striking and provocative and radical and other artsy words.
“The show explores the way that Smith uses photography to introduce multiple meanings, often broadening or complicating our understanding of her work, as she moves between different media—sculpture, prints, drawing, and photography” says Tang Associate Curator Rachel Seligman.
Smith has a perennial interest in feminist, sexuality, and gender issues, and her work certainly reflects these themes. Take note, guys-doing-Intro-to-Gender-Studies-to-meet-girls.
The show will run through December 30th, with several complementary events scheduled.
- Wednesday, September 21st, at 12 noon; Tuesday, October 25th, at 12 noon; and Tuesday, November 15th, at 12 noon: Curator’s Tours of I Myself Have Seen It: Photography and Kiki Smith with Rachel Seligman.
- Saturday, October 15th, 6–7:30 p.m.: Opening Reception celebrating the Tang’s fall exhibitions, including I Myself Have Seen It: Photography and Kiki Smith and Opener 22: Whiting Tennis.
- Thursday, November 3rd, 7 p.m.: Dialogue with artist Kiki Smith.

Student Exhibition in Schick Art Gallery Opening
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009
Untitled photograph by Mattan Ingram, an award-winning selection from the 2008 Skidmore Student Exhibition in Schick Art Gallery
Each January the Schick Art Gallery hosts a student show displaying work completed over the previous year. This year’s show was juried by artist Michael Oatman, who has selected several student works in a variety of media. Only one third of submissions are typically chosen for exhibit, with upwards of 200 submissions annually. In addition to curating the show Oatman has selected several of the works to receive further praise to be announced at the opening reception. The Schick Show is particularly important because it gives students a chance to show and possibly sell their work to the larger Saratoga community. The opening reception for the show, which will hang until March 1st, is Thursday (1/29) at 6:30pm.
