Exhibitions

Re-Assembly; Emboldening the Temporal

October 17th - November 27th, 2024
Laura Rokas, Twin Moons, 2021.

This exhibition brings together the work 11 of Dawson’s most recognized Visual Arts Alumni with that of their former teacher–artist, writer, curator, and instructor Giuseppe (Joe) di Leo. 

Celebrating the reciprocal and circular journey between mentor and mentees, the exhibition will focus on the multi-faceted forms of drawing: abbreviated gestures, sketches schematics, faithfully rendered recordings, executed in a range of treatment and approaches on any surface.  Revealing the multiplicities and meanderings of human existence, these artists present drawing as a means to  probe, record, and conger vivid expressions of imagined and complex realities.
