Undergrad Show at Anderson Gallery(3rd writing)

Although I did not make it into the Undergrad Show, displayed at Anderson Gallery, I was able to walk through the exhibit to catch all the works that were recognizable to the juror. I was very impressed overall. To be honest, the photography work was not really of my liking. One piece in particular that was in the front room of the two wooden cabin like things... I remember when it was hanging int he hallway in Pollak, I could not stop critiquing the horrible photoshop job. Just my opinion that through me off. The only photo piece that was of liking was the Hockney/scanned feeling of a piece of two individuals. The detail was very clever and it was actually interesting to look at, for all the pieces of the prints were different in some way or another. I found that the AFO students that got into the show were really strong, one of them being of a mixed media on a panel. I think they used paint then wax over top and sketched a boat on top. The colors and texture were very clever. As for the videos, all I can say is that I am sick of stop motion. The sculptures, as far as I remember were VERY strong in the gallery. They really pushed the idea of space by making extremely huge pieces.
