Points of View. 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.

WELLESLEY COLLEGE

SAVE THE DATE

thursday, jan 27.

Trigger and Reconfigure Opening Reception. 4:45pm. Jewett Art

Gallery.

A work of art begins with an encounter between an object or image and the

artist. The found form, not necessarily interesting or beautiful to others, is so

compelling to the artist that it must be engaged with, seized. Intuitively the

artist understands the possibilities this form offers for reinvention. The making

of art is a dialogue-grappling, coaxing, and nudging of form until a new light or

life emerges. For more information at the arts at Wellesley College, visit

http://issuu.com/wellesley/docs/artscalendarsp11. On display from 1/22-

2/21.

OFF CAMPUS

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

The MFA is free for University Member students (YES, Babson, Olin, and

Wellesley students can come for free anytime!) every day of the year. All you

need to do is show your college ID to join and enjoy all that the Museum has

to offer.

THEATER WELLESLEY COLLEGE thursday, jan 6 - sunday, jan 30. The Last Night of Ballyhoo. Varying Times. Ruth Nagel Jones Theater

In this second play by the author of Driving Miss Daisy, a family of Jewish southerners tries to come to grips with its identity in a pre-WWII Christian society. This story drives home the lesson that without a strong sense of self, one’s place in the existing social structure can constantly change or even cease to exist at all.

BABSON COLLEGE sunday, jan 23. H2$ Musical Auditions. 7pm-10pm. Carling-Sorenson Theater

Auditions for the Babson Players' Spring Musical are this weekend! The show is "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," a musical comedy we think all students of business laugh at and enjoy watching.

No preparation or experience is needed, and there are no cuts. All you need to bring is your time commitments so we can work around them. Use this as an opportunity to tryout the Players too! No commitment is assumed by trying out, so you've got nothing to loose.

If you're looking for a great time with a group of people who are both serious yet fun when it comes to theater, come check us out. And if you see Winfred Fields this week, remind him to audition please.

Note: Call backs (2nd round of auditions) are the following day from 7-10pm again.

Green Tower Movie Night: Home. 8pm. Reynolds Back Dining Room

Free Snacks and two $25 Gift certificate give aways at this event!

In 200,000 years on Earth, humanity has upset the balance of the planet,

established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high,

but it's too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the

trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth's riches

and change its patterns of consumption.

By bringing us unique footage from over fifty counties, all seen from the air, by

sharing with us his wonder and his concern, with this film Yann Arthus-

Bertrand lays a foundation stone for the edifice that, together, we must

rebuild.

Babson Global Film Series: Our Daily Bread. 7pm. Carling-Sorenson Theater Dir. Nikolaus Geyrhalter (2006)

OUR DAILY BREAD reveals the little-known world of high-tech agriculture. In a series of visually stunning, continuously tracking, wide-screen images that seem right out of a science-fiction movie, we see the places where food is cultivated and processed: surreal landscapes optimized for agricultural machinery, clean rooms in cool industrial buildings designed for maximum efficiency, and elaborate machines that operate on a 'disassembly line' basis.

Dispensing entirely with explanatory commentary or 'talking-head' interviews, OUR DAILY BREAD unfolds on the screen like a disturbing dream: an endlessly fascinating flow of images, an insistent gaze, accompanied only by the persistent industrial soundtrack—whirring, clattering, booming, slurping—of the ingenious marvels of mechanization employed by agri-business.

While this remarkable documentary will likely engender fascination, awe and even shock amongst viewers, OUR DAILY BREAD simply aims to show the industrial production of food as a reflection of our society's values: plenty of everything, made as quickly and as efficiently as modern technology permits.

“A superbly realized feature, stirring together art and knowledge .”

The screening will include a brief introduction & a post-film discussion.

Free & open to the Babson community & the general public.
