Abstract
VBS (violet burning sunset) will highlight both notable and up-and-coming Bennington
artists. The show is the capstone event of a year-long celebration of the 40th
anniversary of College’s Visual and Performing Arts building, bringing together artists
who studied and worked in that space—a mix of both established and emerging
international artists. VBS consists of two shows in one room. The first show features work by
Ethan Knechel ‘08, Helen Mirra ‘91, Tom Sachs ‘89, Lauren Seiden ‘03 and
Alison Veit ‘11 and consists entirely of artworks that eschew color and
embrace solid materiality in mostly muted and gray tones. The second
features work by Amanda Church ‘76, Martha Grover ‘02, Odili Donald Odita
MFA ‘90, Devin O’Brien Power ‘05, and Cyle Metzger ‘08. The exhibition is curated by Todd Von Ammon ’09.
