Opening Reception: Points of View. 5pm-7pm. Hollister Gallery On display until January 21, 2011 Hours: Monday – Thursday 8:00 am-7:00 pm
Dana Clancy’s artwork is about the rituals associated with traveling and looking, with places
that are specifically set up as viewing spaces. The artist is interested in the way we use
photography to remember and communicate a visual experience. She only paints places
that she has experienced in person and works from multiple photographs to create a
complex composite image whose geometric edges draw attention to the touch of the artist
and reference the immersive sometimes overwhelming experience of being in these
particular environments.

The paintings on view at Babson are an
expansion of her series exploring
people’s interaction with art and
architecture in museums. Clancy has
used her finely tuned sense of color
and form to re-frame spaces within the
Guggenheim, MOMA, Tate, and Mass
MOCA, to make paintings that speak to
the intensity and alteration of memory.
In “Points of View” she has made a
new series of shaped paintings based
on Anish Kapoor’s sculpture Cloud
Gate and the Renzo Piano addition to
the Art Institute of Chicago. Taking her geometric perspective explorations into three
dimensions through the use of architectural model board as a painting surface allows Clancy
to create intimate sculptural paintings whose lines, shapes, and silver surfaces change as
the viewer moves.
Dana Clancy is a painter and assistant professor at Boston University's School of Visual Arts.
She received a BA in English Literature from Vassar College and an MFA in Painting from
Boston University.
Ms. Clancy has exhibited her work in solo exhibitions at Boston University, the Danforth Museum of Art, the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, and Laconia Gallery in Boston's South End. She has been included in group exhibitions nationally, including Delta Axis at Marshall Arts, Memphis, and Bowery Gallery, New York.

A Woman Like That. 5pm. Collins Cinema
In A Woman Like That, Emmy-nominated
filmmaker Ellen Weissbrod merges her own
“coming of middle-age” story with her pursuit of
the truth behind the myths of 17th-century female
artist Artesisia Gentileschi’s dramatic work and
provocative life. The film is a freewheeling tribute
to an artist who leaps across centuries to speak to
us all.
It reveals the enduring piower of storytelling-in
painting, in films and in our lives- as the filmmaker over comes her own doubts and fears
and travels the world in her own adventurous way. Weissbrod shows that who gets to tell
the story matters, and learns that maybe she, too, can be a woman like that.

Postwar: Films of Daniel Eisenberg. 6pm. Collins Cinema
Screening of Persistence (1997) & Reception in the Davis Museum Lobby.
To celebrate the release of Postwar: The films of Daniel Eisenberg (Blackdog Press), Daniel
Eisenberg and Jeffrey Skoller will present a screening of Eisenberg’s Persistence (1997)
followed by a discussion with the author and director about the book and film. The book is
the first monograph on Eisenberg’s work, and places his films in the context of
contemporary theory and experimental media practice, with contributions from highly
respected writers on contemporary film and media art.
An award-winning documentary, Persistence is a feature-length experimental portrait of
Berlin in the years following the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of the cold war. A
meditation on the time just after a great historical event, the film explores what is common
to such moments, the continuous and discontinuous threads of history.
