Exhibition of Five College Student Artwork To Open at Hampshire College Art Gallery
Artwork of students from each Five College campus will be on display at the Hampshire College Art Gallery from December 10 through December 13 in a show entitled, “It’s not about space, it’s about space.”
The exhibition will present work by the 13 students of the 2018 Five College Advanced Studio Seminar, a consortium course made up of top art students from each Five College campus. For this year’s course—titled “Committed to the Idea: Conceptual Cohesion Across Mediums”—students worked with New York City-based multi-disciplinary artist Miatta Kawinzi.
“Their work considers the concept of space as physical, social, emotional and temporal,” says Kawinzi, “posing questions that suggest divergent narratives and open up ‘s p a c e’ for new interpretation and exploration.”
