Artist Susan Benarcik installation “An Undulating Presence,” is on view in the Glassenberg Gallery. It is a site-specific installation made of rolled book pages and recycled cardboard forms that creates an undulating visual marker around the gallery. This marker metaphorically represents the acquired, consumed, and discarded knowledge of a contemporary society.
Portrait of a City: The New London Project
The Lyman Allyn Art Museum is one of several venues for this exhibition of life-size photographs of New Londoners by photographer Joe Standart. In 2004, Standart, a nationally-recognized photographer from New York City, set up a studio in downtown New London to capture the dignity and energy he saw in the faces of the people who live and work in the city. These large-scale photographs will be on display in traditional gallery spaces as well as in the city streets. On view through August 14, 2006
