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.
