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.
