An exhibition, entitled UNSEEN, featuring work by two former Department of Fine Arts, Theatre and Digital Media students opens Friday, Oct. 25 at Collar Works, located at 621 River St. in downtown Troy. The gallery focuses on exhibits of “provocative and spirited art works from emerging and underrepresented artists.”
Work by Carla Dortic and Ryan Chase Clow, who also served as a fine arts adjunct instructor at Hudson Valley Community College, exhibit their work along with Carris Adams, Tania Alvarez, Aurora Andrews, Jose- Aurelio Baez, Raina Briggs, Matt Crane, Richard Deon, Deborah Druick, Mark Eisendrath, Rebecca Flis, Gigi Gatewood, Chet Gold, Victoria van der Laan, Jesse Meredith, Sarah Pater, James Marshall Porter, Jr., Anne- Audrey Remarais, Eric Souther, Susanna Starr, Paula Stuttman, Sarah Sweeney.
UNSEEN, which explores the ability of art to illuminate and draw out elements of the unseen and make them discernible, was curated by Akili Tommasino, an associate curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The exhibit features work about “what we do not see: the invisible, the hidden, the overlooked. Whether speaking to one’s relationship to digital, physical or psychological space, or to the effects of cultural blindness, the artists in this exhibition are united in their desire to unveil the unseen.”
Following an opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 25, UNSEEN will remain on view through Saturday, Dec. 14. Gallery hours at Collar Works are noon to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.
