2007-08 Roy C. Moore Art Gallery Exhibition Schedule

“Cranes Aloft”
August 15 - September 12, 2007
Opening reception - Thursday August 23, 12 noon.

“Cranes Aloft” is a collaborative exhibition between Stacy Koffman and Cynthia Lollis, both women artists and Gainesville State College (GSC) faculty members.  Initially sparked by their shared theme of birds as a visual metaphor, the artists’ project turned into a yearlong exploration into the world of cranes. Together they became students of these birds, taking in their different features, their movements, sounds, behaviors, migratory habits, and their elegant forms. Film and audio captured by the artists during their pilgrimage to a refuge for cranes in Hiawassee, Tennessee serve as the springboard for the imagery created for this exhibit. The images created for this exhibition are presented within the context and medium of printmaking and graphic arts.

This exhibition of work by Koffman and Lollis is GSC’s contribution to an international exchange with three faculty members at the University of Cantabria in Santander, Spain. The “Cranes Aloft” exhibit will be a part of the American artists in Spain Exchange at the Universidad de Cantabria, March 7 – April 19, 2008.  The Roy C. Moore Art Gallery at GSC is hosting an exhibition and campus visits by the Spanish artists in February, 2008.
