It could’ve been dubbed “Around the World in 70 Artworks.” The recent art show at the Kennedy School trekked back in time to Civil War encampments; journeyed through space to destinations ranging from Franklin Park to Japan to New Zealand; explored ants, birds, and fish; and even made a short spectacular hop back into the psychedelic ’60s. It was the Fourth Annual KSG Art Show and it was, in short, a success. Seventy of the most talented of Kennedy School staff were represented in the Taubman Building exhibit, and their media were as varied as their subjects – videos, scrapbooks, needlepoint, jewelry, a light show, and the more familiar genres of painting and photography. At times, the show was as much a “happening” as an exhibit – Veronica McClure wore a period costume to display her portfolio “What a Civil War Encampment Means”; Noemi Garcia Tagorda showed her video “We Are Ants”; and Bert Syms caused flashbacks for some with his “Psychedelic Light Show With Music.” If you missed it, remember, it happens every spring.
