GALLERY AND MUSEUM EXHIBITS:
Through Dec. 15
“Michaela Pilar Brown | CONTERMINOUS Elegies”
Richardson Family Art Museum, lower level, Richardson Center for the Arts
“Conterminous Elegies” investigates the process of grieving as a space, not solely for consideration of loss and mourning but an equal opportunity for the exploration of playfulness and joy. The experience of transitions within the course of any human life implies the sharing of and the shifting of boundaries; borders between the materially present and what is remembered; between imagination and the corporeal; between things and ideas.
Through Dec. 15
“McCallum & Halsey: At Home and Abroad”
Richardson Family Art Museum, upper level, Richardson Center for the Arts
Married for 60 years, the artists Corrie McCallum (1914-2009) and William Halsey (1915-1999) forged artistic paths both individually, and at times undeniably parallel. “At Home and Abroad” invites viewers to experience the familiar imagery of the Carolina Lowcountry and, as noted in the pair’s 1971 “A Travel Sketchbook,” the “people and places around the world,” that influenced their groundbreaking careers.
Through Dec. 15
“False Starts” Exhibition
Richardson Family Art Gallery, Richardson Center for the Arts
Oscar Soto, Wofford's studio arts manager, creates work combining a wide range of materials and processes, from 3D modeling and digital fabrication to traditional painting and woodworking. This exhibition is a reflection on the many paths available to artists who are often torn between their desire to explore and their need to advance.
