The University Gallery embarks on an exhibition of significant social and aesthetic value by organizing “Greening the Valley: Sustainable Architecture in the Pioneer Valley”, and a series of related public talks and events. It will not only document the rich variety of green architectural activities taking place in our Pioneer Valley and greater Springfield communities, but will also capture the development of the new technologies and practices in green architecture that will become an increasingly important aspect of our daily lives. The exhibition and public talks will represent a valuable source of information for researchers, students, and the public-at-large. Local citizens will be able to make valuable connections with area architects and suppliers whose work and materials emphasize sustainability.
This exhibition is the third annual exhibition at the University Gallery in which artists are invited to integrate their own works with pieces they select from the University Gallery's works-on-paper collection, which includes over 2600 contemporary prints, drawings, and photographs.
Fully-engaged and totally original, Santa Fe artist Kelly Moore paints on canvas and paper, as well as on other more unlikely surfaces such as used tubes of paint, discarded paint brushes, wooden boxes, and electrical wiring. His dolls, hung along the sides of his flea market vendor’s booth, pop up between paintings of faces, crows, hillsides, and a range of references, marks and gestures that emerge from deep places inside him. His works have a poetic quality, giving back to us what we bring to them.

In this exhibition, curator and art historian Gary Tartakov introduces Indian artist Savi Savarkar to our community in a thoughtfully organized exhibition. Savi Savarkar’s art is most remarkable for the expression of his social situation in South Asian culture as a Dalit, and for the immediacy, depth and power with which he expresses the meaning of that situation to us.

Beginning with discarded maps, LaPrade Seuthe carefully color matches the hues in the existing maps and applies these opaque paint mixtures to eradicate names, symbols and other location identifiers. Once the clean slate has been established, she adds drawings of images culled from encyclopedias, dictionaries, travel guides and assorted manuals. For her, this process is parallel to an internal process of creating a clean slate or starting over. Her painting is complete when connections between seemingly random images are revealed.
