Zoller exhibit ranges from small to strange

Collegian Arts Writer

A large hay hut will catch your eye as you enter Zoller Gallery. Other strange creations will also jump out at you.

It's the annual Undergraduate Juried Exhibition, which is on display until Tuesday. The pieces range from small jewelry to large sculptures and drawings.

Cindi Morrison, the gallery's director, said the show provides a good opportunity for students to see their works in a gallery atmosphere. It also gives the community a chance to see what School of Visual Arts students are doing, she said.

The exhibit was open to University undergraduates who have taken an art course during the 1991-1992 season. Submissions of up to 3 pieces in any medium were allowed. The judge chose 102 pieces out of 266 entries, naming three winners.

One of the winners, Jeffrey Ludwig (senior-bachelor of fine arts, painting and art education), who submitted his untitled piece of charcoal and paper, said his piece is the first in a long series of works -- "visual models to order events the way I perceive reality."

The drawings are guides to plug in events in his life in some kind of ordered fashion, he said. The drawing centers around two extremes --tension and compression, metaphors for the way things happen. It deals with the Tsaoist philosophy of the yin and the yang -- each thing having its opposite, he said.

Kristy Krivitsky (senior-liberal arts), won for her piece, The Herd. Krivitsky, who also won last year, made her piece out of bleached dried grass and clippings, representing a group of animals packed together. Mariella Bisson, who judged the entries, said it "poses questions about animals, crowds, unanimity and anonymity."

Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.
