Mass. The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery at the College of the Holy Cross presents Kingdom, new work by Holy Cross professor Robert ParkeHarrison, and Clay and Steel, sculpture by Barbara Diduk, from March 12 to April 14, 2001.
All events are free and open to the public.
This exhibition brings together two artists who express anxiety about today s ravaged, industrial landscape in their own, unique ways. ParkeHarrison makes a new series of photographic and mixed media works that address the ecological concerns conveyed in his previous art. Diduk explores our relation to the machine and nature with three-dimensional clay and steel forms. In his art, ParkeHarrison creates desolate landscapes placed beneath a pale, cloudless sky. A lone figure scurries about, tinkering with obsolete machine-like contraptions as part of his futile attempt to salvage and restore the earth s devastated surface.
