Smaller is Better

>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE smaller is better Schiltkamp Gallery at the Traina Center for the Arts Clark University 92 Downing Street Worcester, MA 01610 November 29, 2007 to January 31, 2008 Artists Opening Reception: November 29, 6 – 8 pm Works were solicited through an open call and chosen through a blind jury so that the final selection includes a broad range of participants- national and regional artists, college faculty, and students. The concept for this exhibition dictates that the work be six inches or less in any dimension. Nick Capasso, acting director of the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, awarded honors to the top pieces. He notes that small artwork functions much the same as extra large artwork- it demands that you go right up to it until the piece fills your frame of vision. The parameters of tiny artwork provide particular challenges for artists- and in this exhibit we see artists resolving these issues in a diverse array of media and genre. The Schiltkamp Gallery, directed by Kirk Jalbert and Gregory Thielker, is located in the Traina Center for the Arts, a part of the Clark University campus. Admission is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are as follows: Monday – Thursday 9 am – 10 pm, Friday 9 - 5, Saturday 12 - 5, Sunday 12-10 (Please note, gallery hours are limited between December 16 and January 17. Call for hours).
