The Antelope Valley College art gallery opens up the fall
2011 semester with pieces featuring our very own college faculty members.
The show’s opening night was Wed. Aug. 31 and will be open
to the public, students and other faculty members until sept. 23 with the theme
of “Up Current.” Christine Mugnolo, Director of the AVC Art Gallery, says, “We
know from experience that our faculty exhibition always promises a diverse and
surprising body of work.”
Mugnolo also says the show's theme “Up Current” captures
the monumental role of good art to examine our world, questions our assumptions and presents new realities. This
kind of vision requires stepping out from the steady flow of life or “swimming
up the current.”
Included faculty members are Marthe Aponte, David Babb,
Charles Bado, Lee Bergthold, Frank Dixon, Charles Hood, Lisa Karlstein, Glen
Knowles, Jim Laiben, Katie McGuire, Christine Mugnolo, Simon Tong and Rich
Sim. The artists come from all
disciplines, from the fine arts department to foreign language to mathematics.
The hours for viewing range from Monday-Friday, 8am to 9pm,
and Saturday from 12pm to 4pm. The
gallery is located at Antelope Valley College, 3041 W. Ave K, on the southwest
side of the campus in building FA1.
