McClelland Gallery
During a lecture, presentation or meeting, hands often have a mind of their own. Surrealist artists called the shapes that fill notebooks and scrap paper "automatic drawing." Most people just call them "doodles." From July 24 to Aug. 17, 2008, the
McClelland Art Gallery at Union College will host
"Margins," an exhibition of art created while the mind is otherwise occupied.
Comprised of submissions from Union College employees and students, the exhibit features art created on whatever medium was available at the time. The pieces both honor and transcend their origins, such as "While Watching Seinfeld," a mixture of geometric and organic shapes surrounding a Sudoku puzzle by Angie Peach, director of major gift development in Union's Advancement Office.
