Is It Just Me?
If you find yourself in the Albany area in the coming month, be sure and check out the 10-year survey of work by Jennifer Dalton at the Hudson Valley Community College Teaching Gallery. Opening tomorrow (with an artist talk...which Jen claims she isn't comfortable doing, but I've seen her and she's great!) and organized by the very charming Tara Fracalossi, the exhibition is the first time a number of Jen's larger installations have been seen in the same space. Details are: Jennifer Dalton: “Is It Just Me?”
Exhibition: Sept. 17 – Oct. 24
Artist Lecture: 3 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17
Bulmer Telecommunications Center Auditorium
Reception: 4-6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17
Teaching Gallery, Administration Building“Is It Just Me?” surveys the last 10 years of Jennifer Dalton’s sculptures and installations based on exhaustive “excavations” of herself and her surroundings. She is an archaeologist of the presentday, collecting and examining personal and cultural information, organizing and evaluating the information according to her own unique criteria, and displaying the findings in sculptural installations consisting of assembled or handmade objects. The artist received a BFA degree from UCLA and a MFA degree from the Pratt Institute in New York, and has exhibited her work throughout the United States and Europe.

I do know that I make conclusions about an artist based on what I know of the school they attended. I also assume that one has to be considered better by experts to be accepted into the better art schools, which might translate into assuming the art is better, but...
I think that's good fodder for another thread.
And I'm assuming that the practice isn't common elsewhere. Correct?
The pix... This work was shown at the Flag Art Foundation this summer. I turned the knobs...
