Weekend hotspot: Ganser Gallery
Some might think it is unusual to be in the library considering it is only the second week of the semester, but it was surprisingly busy for a Thursday afternoon.
Are students really that diligent following a three day weekend? The reason for my library adventure was to check out the Ganser Gallery which is now hosting an exhibition from Karl Hluska.
Art study of Linus’ blanket
We all have objects that mean more than their face value. After a rough breakup, we go through a cleansing process to rid ourselves of every possible item that may remind us of a less than perfect love interest. After a loved one passes, we tend to keep objects that remind us of them. These objects are the primary subject of Hannah Burr’s “Placeholders” currently in display in the Ganser Library.

The world of art can be a competitive one. Artists spend years perfecting their craft for art galleries all around the world. Experimenting, modifying and presenting are important in the life of an artist.
On March 29 at 5 p.m. the budding artists of Millersville where given the chance to present their latest pieces at the Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition. The event is held every year for specially selected students to present their works to be judged by those attending the show. “Only the cream of the crop are here,” said Stan Sulewski, an attendee of the exhibition. Located at the Sykes gallery in Breidenstine Hall, art majors and art enthusiasts attended the opening reception and award ceremony at 6 p.m.
Collage Menage exhibit this past week
In the famous words of poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, “the creation of beauty is art.” In other words beauty can be expressed through various forms of artistic attributes such as traditional art, music and dance. The importance of art can be compared to the importance of basic necessities such as food and water. In a sense, art is a sentimental value that not only allows us to enter another world but is also beneficial for the sake of our civilization.

Q. If you weren’t teaching art, what would you be doing?
A. “If I wasn’t teaching, I would be spending more time in my studio doing my work.”
Q. Where do you look for inspiration?
A. “Travel has always been something that I have drawn not inspiration but energy from. Going to museums in Paris and school there for a summer, Vienna, Summer Academy in Salzburg, extended stays in places. I visit New York regularly and it is always an inspirational shot in the arm to visit many of the galleries and museums I have come to love. It’s more about the energy I draw from these places than inspiration, that really comes from within me; I don’t really need to look for it. I also used to scuba dive quite a bit and have always loved being near the ocean, it has a very relaxing regenerative effect on me.”
