Reynolds Gallery seeks art work for exhibition focusing on equality

91成人导航鈥檚 is preparing to host 鈥淒reaming of Equ>lity,鈥 a virtual art exhibition.
Pieces must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 10. Any artist can submit up to five pieces that were completed after Nov. 10, 2019, a year prior to the submission deadline.
鈥淲e would love to get entries from other schools, the local community as well as national submissions to show the various currents that address equality,鈥 said Marie Lee, associate professor of design and graphic art and a coordinator of the exhibition. She added that the exhibition is meant to, 鈥淕ive voice to those striving for equality through their art so that they will educate the visitors through their work and make the world a better place.鈥
Virtual exhibition tours will be available starting Jan. 14.
The title of the exhibition was inspired by the role of artists in the protesting the many forms of injustice that permeate society.
鈥淪ocial media have subtly started changing people鈥檚 minds and exposing inequities and stereotypes. All of the images and memes, these are pieces of art whether you realize it or not,鈥 Lee said.
She cites the work of Kara Walker, an American contemporary painter and filmmaker, whose work explores such areas as race, gender and identity.
She also was impressed by a , painted on the 1600 block of Argonne Drive in Stockton for a Juneteenth celebration. To Lee, this work 鈥渟howed the community spirit of activists coming together and creating something larger than life.鈥
This impact will translate to 91成人导航鈥檚 virtual format, Lee said.
鈥淲e can create the space to reflect the content rather than fitting the exhibition in an existing space,鈥 Lee said.
Lee is working on the exhibition with Lisa Cooperman, university curator and assistant professor of practice. Cooperman recently helped launch 鈥Going 2 Ground,鈥 the Reynolds Gallery鈥檚 first virtual exhibition featuring faculty artwork responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cooperman and Lee also are working to present an exhibition of the Class of 2020鈥檚 works called 鈥淰ision 2020.鈥
鈥淭he exhibition openings are different from the in-person experiences, but not necessarily worse. The visitors get to meet the artists and hear them talk about the artwork in depth,鈥 Lee said.
鈥淒reaming of Equ>lity鈥 pieces will be chosen by the university curator, arts faculty and student curators.
