SUBMITTED NEWS RELEASE
Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) will host their next series of art galleries beginning Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Dandini campus. The month-and-a-half-long exhibition will display artwork from around the world and officially kicks off with two Artists’ Reception on Wednesday, Oct. 19 from 3 – 5 p.m. The receptions will be located in the Red Mountain Building Lobby and outside the TMCC Main Art Gallery in V. James Eardley Student Services Center. Artists’ Receptions are free and open to the public.
- The TMCC Main Art Gallery will feature sculptures from California artist Pamela Drury Wattenmaker. Her work combines powder-coated metals, knitted wire and cable ties to create industrial forms of fiber art. Wattenmaker’s “Unraveling” series gives an impression of softness, but on closer examination is quite harsh and prickly to the touch.
- The Red Mountain Gallery will feature Zoltan Janvary’s “The Hussar” photographs. Janvary began his art and teaching career in Budapest, Hungary. In 1995, he relocated to the US, settling in Reno, Nevada. He is greatly influenced by his family’s rich history as well as his country’s literary and mythological traditions. These forces, blended with those of the new world, have created an individual, original style.
- The Erik Lauritzen Gallery will feature Jing Zhou’s digital prints “Myth, Nature and Spirituality”. Born in Chongqing, China, Jing Zhou is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and professor of art in New Jersey. Jing’s artistic creations reflect her interest in spiritual experiences and Eastern and Western art, literature and philosophy.
- The Atrium Gallery features “Origins, Bones & Other Ancient Stuff”– TMCC Student Art Exhibit curated by TMCC art instructors Paris Almond and Suellen Johnson. In an ever increasingly fast-paced culture where technology is out-dated as fast as it is invented, the focus of this exhibit provides the viewer a stimulating opportunity to focus on underlying myths and eternal questions about the history of humankind and our world.
