Rim Road / Rim Road

Using photography and sound, Thalassa Raasch constructs a borderland where the transition between life and death is as unclear as it is quotidian. Inspired by her friendship with gravedigger, Everrad Hall, the exhibition marks a trajectory through an imagined landscape that loops back in on itself, demarcating where death overlaps with joy, humor, and the strangeness of everyday life. 

Joseph Norman's Work on Display in Exhibition: "Go Tell It: Civil Rights Photography"

The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s saw major gains in the struggle to end segregation and discrimination against African Americans, as well as many other marginalized groups, including Native Americans, homosexuals, and women. This exhibition features major works from the collection by artists including Dan Budnik, Danny Lyon, Roy deCarava, Robert Frank, Gary Winogrand, Marion Post Wolcott, and others. 

Ally White, MFA '16, Solo Show in Atlanta

Ally White presents her first Atlanta solo show, No Worries — an exhibition of acrylic and wool paintings taking place at Eyedrum Art & Music Gallery September 17th thru October 8th. These works depict day-dreaming figures and the lush multicolored world they live in. Investigating contrasting themes of happiness, anxiety, loneliness and self-comfort, each piece works to balance and cope through the use of color, humor and play. 

Christina Hanawalt Joins Dodd Faculty

Christina Hanawalt joined the School of Art faculty this fall as Visiting Assistant Professor in Art Education. Hanawalt recently received her PhD in Art Education with a minor in Curriculum and Instruction from the Pennsylvania State University, where her research examined the experiences of new art teachers using a theory of collage as critical practice as a framework for generating new understandings of what it means to be an art teacher in contemporary public schools, especially given their entanglement in the widespread audit and standardization culture of education.
