Sheppard Fine Arts Gallery is pleased to announce:
Eunjung Hwang and Siebren Versteeg

Exhibition run: August 25–September 26, 2008
Opening Reception: Thursday September 4, Lecture 5:30-6:30 Rm 153, Reception 6:30-8pm

This two-person exhibit does not have a theme based on content, but rather will concentrate on two different yet complimentary artists. As unrelated as their content is, both Versteeg and Hwang show a very contemporary understanding of how interconnection works in our postmodern culture. Versteeg is an artist deeply concerned in the fabricated notion of ‘real’ time. He works in all forms, including collage, computer programming, video, drawing, sculpture and installation. Hwang is an artist and animator who creates multi-screen animation installations, light projections, sculpture, digital prints and drawings. Her work combines early Korean cartoon imagery resurrected in mountainous landscapes, combing her quirky drawing style with photography and narration. Please join us for a lecture and reception with Siebren Versteeg on September 4!

Congratulations to Art Preparator, Ceramics Instructor Fred Reid for winning the 2007 Classified Staff of the Year award.
