ART BABSON COLLEGE Points of View. Hollister Gallery On display until January 21, 2011
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.

THEATER BABSON COLLEGE Wellesley Players Present: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Sorenson Center for the Arts
The Wellesley Players present the stage version based on the novel of the same title (and made into the famous film later). One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a story of several inmates of a northwestern mental institution, and their opportunities to overcome their disabilities and free themselves of their heavy psychological burdens. Primarily, we see a charming rogue who contrives to serve a short sentence in the airy institution rather than on a work farm. He clashes with the head nurse, but befriends his fellow in-mates, accomplishing with them what the medical profession has never been able to do. He makes a presumed deaf and dumb Indian speak and regain his inner pride, and leads the others out of introversion. This leads to a revolt on the floor - first so that they can do something as simple as watching the World Series on television, then progressing to a rollicking midnight party with liquor

A play with strong language and adult situations, this production is recommended for audiences sixteen and up (Rated R).
