Re-Assembly; Emboldening The Temporal – Exhibit at the Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery
Running from October 17 to November 27, 2024, Re-Assembly; Emboldening The Temporal brings together the work of 11 of Dawson’s most recognized Visual Arts alumni with that of their former teacher – artist, writer, curator, and instructor Giuseppe (Joe) di Leo.
Celebrating the reciprocal and circular journey between mentor and mentees, the exhibition will focus on the multi-faceted forms of drawing: abbreviated gestures, sketches schematics, and faithfully rendered recordings, executed in a range of treatments and approaches on any surface. Revealing the multiplicities and meanderings of human existence, these artists present drawing as a means to probe, record, and conger vivid expressions of imagined and complex realities.
