Exhibition curator art critic Dr. Donald Kuspit says of Goldberg’s works “Her sculptures are critically daring, and her paintings convey her free spirit. She surrealizes meaningful objects into aesthetic meaningfulness – exposes the aesthetics inherent in them – and liberates gesture from descriptive constraints in her paintings, as Gorky, Matta, and Hoffman never completely did in theirs. They couldn’t separate the personal from the transpersonal, as Goldberg is able to do, deftly.” Her works continue to challenge leading art critics and art historians. Quoting Barbara Rose who wrote, “The circles, which seem to shift as we observe them, constitute only one of the complex series of intertwined illusions that the artist, now certain of what she has to say and equipped with the wisdom of experience, is able to realize. The degree of sophistication required to master such a task informs us that it is the result of building on what has gone before, transforming the unguided energy of youth into the discipline of an ordered sense of space and a more conscious awareness of time.” ----------------------------------------- Carol Brown Goldberg Symposium 2pm to 5 pm The symposium, Carol Brown Goldberg, will be presented at University Hall’s Phyllis and Gerald Leboff Lecture Hall on Sept. 24 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Speakers include Donald Kuspit, moderator; Don Kimes of American University; Lenore Miller of Luther W.

Art Connections 8 This annual fundraising event, which supports the mission of the gallery, features a special exhibition and sale, offering a wide selection of art for all levels of collecting. ----------------------------------------- 
Barnet/ Segal: It Runs in the Family This exhibition could have easily come into being as an exhibition of colorists, two painters complementing one another in their handling of various media and choices of subject matter. Peter Barnet’s paintings present family dramas in brightly colored but sharply distorted spaces. Rena Segal’s works display ordinary themes as landscape and still life constructed with extraordinary compilations of line and color. There is much to enjoy from the pairing of these artists’ work, but of course the choice was not coincidental; this show’s painters are the offspring of important American artists: Wil Barnet and George Segal. What is intriguing about the show’s theme is its social dimension. How does the child of a famous artist choose to continue in the field. ----------------------------------------- Artistic Discoveries: Congressional High School Art Competition Date TBA ----------------------------------------- Department of Art and Design -- MA Students’ Exhibition Date TBA Paintings, sculpture and mixed media works by University students graduating from the Master of Arts (MA) Studio program. ----------------------------------------- Department of Art and Design -- BFA Students’ Exhibition May 13-26 Painting, sculpture, film, video, graphic and industrial design and mixed media works by University students graduating from the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) Studio program.
