Text and Image: Clarence Ward Birthday Party & Student Exhibition
March 10th – May 25th, 2003
Clarence Ward Art Library
The Art Library's annual spring student
exhibition in honor of Clarence Ward's birthday was entitled "Text and
Image" continuing themes from last fall's Richard Minsky "Bill of Rights"
and illuminated medieval manuscript shows in the Main Library. All expressions
and investigations (e.g., paintings, artists' books, drawings, prints,
sculpture, creative writing, poems, etc.) exploring or inspired by the
interrelationship of text and image were eligible
for inclusion in this show. The opening for the show was on Monday,
March 10th, 2003 at 4:30 p.m. in the Clarence Ward Art Library. Authors
read their work and there were gallery talks. The show continued through
the 2003 Commencement weekend. During the Art Library Open House artists
and authors had an opportunity to discuss their work with visiting alumni
and parents.
