Student show closing soon
The 2022 senior studio art major exhibition Searching for Sticky Voids closes Sunday, August 21.

Come see the work of nineteen recent Williams graduates and emerging artists in this multimedia exhibition. Marjorie Kaye writes in the July/August issue of Artscope magazine: “Much of the work is coming directly from the experience of a young person in this country’s current climate, and laced with irony; it reads as a catalyst for a call to action.”

Mary Ann Unger exhibition review
Read Cassie Packard’s July 27 review of Mary Ann Unger: To Shape a Moon from Bone in Frieze online. Packard begins:

It has been more than 20 years since the last museum survey devoted to the work of formidable sculptor and draughtswoman Mary Ann Unger. At Williams College Museum of Art, this long-overdue exhibition, sensitively curated by Horace D. Ballard, spans two decades of Unger’s materially restless artistic production from 1975 to 1997. Assimilating a wide range of works–including her bronze torsos cast from twigs, her exactingly gridded watercolours, and her large-scale sculptural abstractions – ‘To Shape a Moon from Bone’ foregrounds Unger’s exploratory ethos as it draws out the investments in modularity, biomorphism and tactility that permeeated her work throughout her career.
