Wriston Art Galleries

An active scholar and instructor, Professor Gustavo Fares has taught in the Spanish Department at Lawrence since 2000, and he also has a vigorous visual art practice. He will discuss his current exhibition, Abstract-Organic, on view in the Wriston Art Galleries through May 17.

According to the artist, “The Abstract Organic series appeals to nature in the ways in which the works are made as well as in the images they present. The images are built around “indexical images,” that is, images constructed with the impression on the painting’s surface of real objects, which in this case are tree branches.

Thursday, April 10 | 4:30 p.m.
Wriston Art Galleries

Join us for a gallery walk of the exhibition Beyond Tomorrow: An Artist’s Quest in the Last Decade with the artist, Jiayi Young ’94 (physics and studio art major).

This exhibition offers an insight into the creative journey behind two major projects Young completed over the past decade. The first is a three-phase effort aimed at democratizing social media data. The second is a public artwork that explores a moon rock brought back by Apollo 12 in 1969. The piece presents an enigmatic object—ice that never melts—serving as a metaphor for the paradox of humanity’s insatiable pursuit of resources and technological progress, even at the risk of self-destruction.

During the walk, visitors will also have the opportunity to engage with interactive computer programs, handle physical objects, ask questions, and discuss the projects with the artist. 

Reception with refreshments to follow!
