Exhibition Opening: 'Art Here and There: Goodsell and Hulings' October 19, 2005

Linda Rossi, assistant professor of art at Carleton, and Meg Ojala, associate professor of art at St. Olaf College, will each present photographic artistic work at an exhibition titled ?Art Here and There: Goodsell and Hulings? on Wednesday, Oct. 19, at 4:30 p.m. beginning in Carleton College?s Goodsell Observatory lobby. The event is free and open to the public.

The exhibition will open with an introduction to Rossi?s installation, titled ?Optic Nerve.? Rossi created this work by photographing glass plate slides from Carleton?s astronomy collection through a telescope and a microscope. The installation ties these images together with other objects in order to portray the relationship between the building?s history and its purpose as a conduit to heavenly bodies, natural phenomena and the passage of time.

At 5 p.m. the event will move to the Hulings Hall atrium to view Ojala?s ?Twigonometry Triptych.? Her piece is a large scale photographic triptych of Carleton?s ?Twigonometry,? a sculpture made of buckthorn and other natural material installed by artist Patrick Dougherty and students in 2003 on the northeast corner of Carleton?s Bald Spot.
