    Mundanity

    Featuring Brent Crothers, Steven Dobbin, Mimi Frank, Breon Gilleran, Steve Jones, Ryan McKibbin, Betsy Packard, and Megan Van Wagoner

    August 30, 2010 - September 24, 2010
    Opening Reception: August 31, 6 - 8 p.m.

    "Mundanity" looks at sculptural objects that seem familiar in an everyday, mundane sense. Some are made of throw-away materials - paint can lids, garden hoses or cast-off tools; others are representations of common objects, re-made in traditional sculptural materials - a plaster form with gold leaf, cast glass potatoes, a cast iron iron and candy, and wooden limbs. All of the artists work with the history that objects accrue, uncovering meaning and delight in the quotidian moments and objects that make up our daily lives.

    A Postmodern Meditation on the Five Proofs of God

    Featuring Mark Cameron Boyd

    November 11 - December 17, 2010
    Opening Reception & Panel Discussion: November 11, 6 - 8 p.m.

    An installation by Mark Cameron Boyd that addresses the quinque viae of Thomas Aquinas and the relationship of language to ways of "knowing." In Summa Theologica, Aquinas introduced "Five Ways" the existence of God could be proved. Twentieth-century scholars have refuted these "Proofs" with various arguments about Aquinas's concepts. Cameron Boyd uses both English translations of sections of Aquinas' text of his "Five Proofs," as well as text by his detractors, to introduce the idea of God's existence in the perfect site-specific location of Salve Regina Hall.
