A panel discussion featuring some of the “Not Really” artists sponsored by the Art Department in the School of Arts and Sciences will be held on Wednesday, March 11 at 6:45 p.m. in Romita Auditorium in the Mooney Center at The College of New Rochelle.
“Not Really” is inspired by the fiction that encompasses contemporary experience. The 15 artists in the exhibit on view at The College of New Rochelle Castle Gallery question and critique through painting, sculpture, installation, video and photography this illusion of the real.
“Contemporary experience is so saturated with imagery augmented or manipulated by the computer and digital software that the artificial and fake has become naturalized and accepted as reality, a way of perceiving and experiencing modern life that has in turn inspired artistic responses,” said Exhibit organizer Susan Canning, professor of Art History at The College of New Rochelle.
Artists in the exhibition include Mac Adams, Alex Bag, Larissa Bates, Adam Cvijanovic, Greg Drasler, Greg Eltringham, Teun Hocks, Patrick Jacobs, Mary Reid Kelley with Patrick Kelley, Jean Lowe, David Opdyke, Lamar Peterson, Alex Prager and Johannes VanderBeek.
