Beyond Green Links
April 24, 2008Last night, the Hartford Art School design department hosted a lecture by graphic designer, University of Illinois assistant professor, and founder of the “green” graphic design resource site renourish, Eric Benson. The presentation was interesting and thought-provoking, as is the site renourish. I encourage everyone, not just graphic designers, to visit and look around.
And while I’m on the subject of linking, and since Mr. Benson put the idea in my head, below are links to the websites of the artists and artist groups that make up Beyond Green. Learn more about the artists, their projects, and how you can help out and go Beyond Green.

PostDec Panel Discussion
January 30, 2008
Better late than never! The pictures are finally in from the PostDec panel discussion that was held on December 6, 2007 in the Koopman Commons at the Hartford Art School.
It was standing room-only as PostDec artists Joyce Kozloff, Jesse Lambert, Renee Petropoulos, Suzanne McClelland, and Robert Kushner discussed art, art-making, and the evolution of Pattern and Decoration.
Gallery Director Zina Davis moderated the panel as the five artists discussed ideas and answered questions from the audience, then proceeded to the Joseloff Gallery or a brief reception.
Thank you to everyone who attended the discussion and those who donated their services to make the evening a success. Thank you to Sam Ekwutzel for recording the discussion, and to Roger Castonguay for taking the lovely photographs. An a big thank you to all of the artists for attending and participating in such an interesting and engaging panel discussion.

Gallery Renovation
August 21, 2007This summer we started on phase 1 of our gallery renovation: moving the walls. We removed two walls, as well as some drywall that was covering up a window, and we added two new walls to make the space more dynamic and interesting. Phase 2 involves changing the main entrance of the gallery and adding a reception desk, two things we were hoping to complete before our first show opens in September, but we’re not sure if it will all happen in time. In the meantime, I though it would be fun to show some views of the renovations so far.
Here is the current main entrance. Notice something missing? The free-standing wall that used to face the entry doors is now gone. The wall to the right past the place where the free-standing door used to be is also missing.
Now you can really see the difference it made having that wall removed. And against the back wall we have two new 10-foot walls coming out toward us.
This is the area where the current emergency exit is located. Slices of the wall were removed and he window was uncovered. This will be the new main entrance and the location of the new reception desk.
We’re very excited about our new spaces to display our exhibitions. It looks like a whole new gallery!
Loading In
May 3, 2007Due to a scheduling squeeze, thanks to the very successful Hartford Art School gala, the graduating illustraton students lost out on their gallery space for their senior show up in the art school. Since we had no shows in the gallery, we offered our space for an unprecedented departmental show in the Joseloff. It’s not generally the sort of show we would have in the Joseloff, a student departmental show, that is, so the illustration students are going all out and taking full advantage of the space.
REEL ILLUSTRATION: A Red Carpet Premiere
opens this Saturday, May 5th with a movie-themed reception in the gallery from 5:30-8:30pm.
Today the installation begins and the job of organizing twenty-seven (that’s right twenty-seven) graduating seniors and their respective work looks like quite a task. Good luck to all of them. Here’s a peek at how it looks so far.
