The Teaching Gallery announces So That I Might Speak to You of Your Magnificence, an exhibition by Brooklyn artist Sarah Walko, on view Feb. 2 through March 4. The Teaching Gallery is located on the ground floor of the Administration Building.
Walko will discuss her work on Thursday, Feb. 2 from 3 to 4 p.m. in the Bulmer Telecommunications Center Auditorium, with a reception following from 4 to 6 p.m. in the gallery. Both events are free and open to the public.
Through sculpture, drawing and installation, the artist explores the mythic possibilities of objects, images and imagination. Walko says she seeks to create “experiences that allow one’s perceptions to shift from the historical, to the narrative, to the scientific, to the alchemical and to the magical. The work is a call to look closer and see larger how interconnected we all are and to all things.”
Walko holds a B.A. from the University of Maryland and an M.F.A. from the Savannah (Georgia) College of Art and Design. Her recent exhibitions include Earth Revisited, Film and Video, an exhibition on the Manhattan Bridge (DUMBO, Brooklyn); To Be Everything, Silo Gallery (New Milford, CT); Audubon and the Avian Experience, Marietta College (Marietta, OH); Ley Lines, University of Wyoming Art Museum, (Laramie, WY); Raising the Temperature, Queens Museum of Art (Queens), and You and I Do Not Come Lightly to the Blank Page, Roger Williams University (Bristol, RI). She has held residencies at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (New York City), I-Park Foundation (East Haddam, CT) and served as a teacher, lecturer or panelist at The Brooklyn Academy of Music (New York City); Endicott College (Beverly, MA); Kansas City Art Institute (Kansas City, MO); University of Missouri-Kansas City and the Savannah College of Art and Design. Walko is the director of Education and Community Engagement at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey. She lives and works in Brooklyn and Summit, NJ.
