tuesday, nov 9. Opening Reception: Points of View. 5pm-7pm. 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.

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.

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.
