The Long Night
and the New Day: Lithographs by Benton Spruance
July 12—October 5, 2008
Williamstown, Mass.—The Long Night and the New Day features lithographs
that span the career of Benton Spruance, from his naturalistic renderings of
the Depression era to his later, evocative and abstracted work of the 1960s.
Spruance often used biblical stories and classical myths to allude to human suffering
and enduring moral dilemmas. This exhibition celebrates the gift of these works
from Sigmund R. Balka, Williams Class of 1956, to the museum.

Laser Show
Six Perspectives on a Chaotic Resonator
July 12—September 14, 2008
Nick Zammuto's work focuses
on the relationship between visual, aural, and physical
vibration and its ability to carry information. In Laser
Show, sub-sonic sounds vibrate a flexible mirror
that reflects six laser-points of light. The sound
waves determine the evolving shapes that appear on
the gallery screen.
Nick Zammuto, Williams Class of 1999, is this year's
recipient of the Arthur Levitt, Jr. '52 Artist-in-Residence
in Art Fellowship at Williams. |
