January 17 – March 9, 2019
Artist/Curator’s Talk “Hello Dolly”: Friday, January 18, 12:30-1:20 pm
Artist Angela Grossmann in conversation with curator Dr. Lynn Ruscheinsky

Jaime Angelopoulos: Oblique Choreography
Curator: Ivan Jurakic
January 17 – March 16, 2019

Artist Talk: Thursday, February 7, 12:30-1:20pm

The exhibition includes nine recent sculptural and mixed media works.
