The Drury Gallery
The Drury Gallery was designed by architectural sculptor Michael Singer while he was Marlboro’s visiting artist. Installations by Marlboro students and faculty and a wide range of national and international artists fill the Drury each year. It also serves as a visually compelling space for lectures and literary readings.
The Drury Gallery is open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday through Friday while the college is in session. For more information, call 802-257-4333.
"One of my aims in making sculpture is to try to make an object or an installation that has the immediacy of drawing. It is physical and affects how we move with our bodies and not in an overt way but quietly, with sidelong glances that destabilize us kinesthetically. We move differently, breathe differently and are affected physically by the sculptural object. Then maybe we will even think differently about the space that we are in or the lives we lead."- Joe Smith Joe Smith, sculpture professor at Mount Holyoke College, will show recent work using assemblages and installations of reconstructed found objects. Smith's work has appeared in New York City’s First Street Gallery and the 55 Mercer Street Gallery, as well as the Saul Kofler Gallery in Providence, Rhode Island, and at Dartmouth College. The New York Times has characterized the sculptor's oeuvre as being "about relationships that seem at the same time provisional and inevitable ... quietly whimsical, seriously perverse." Smith will give an artist talk in Drury at 4:00 pm on Tuesday, February 10.
