Mother and Daughter: The Related Visions of Barbara and Wendy Moscow
October 17th to November 23rd
This exhibit features two Queens-based artists, Barbara Moscow and her daughter Wendy Moscow. Barbara's collages and mixed media work contain African or Far Eastern motifs and jewel-like dreamscapes created in fabric and hand-made papers.
Wendy's drawings contain a filigree of images derived from the natural world, as well as having been inspired by Earth-based spiritualities. Her photographs, while reflecting these same concerns, are also political, as in her 1980 documentary series, “Mourning, Rage and Defiance: The Women's Pentagon Action.”
A Celebration of the Life and Works of William Saroyan on the Centennial of his Birth
December 3rd to January 31st
Author of “The Time Of Your Life” and “The Human Comedy” among countless other works, Saroyan is and has been for generations a shining talent for Americans and Armenians throughout the world. Curated by Margaret C. Tellalian-Kyrkostas, Director of The Anthropology Museum of the People of New York and the Armenian Cultural Educational Center Gallery.
Art Center
The Art Center will be pausing in the 2008–2009 season for facility renovations and upgrades, after 20 years and more than 146 exhibitions and programs.
We look forward to reopening stronger than ever in 2009–2010 with a new presentation focus on the contemporary dialogue of art and the public. Our programming will include installation, drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, works on paper, photography and new media.
We look forward to welcoming you in a renewed Queens College Art Center in 2009.
With warm good wishes,
- Suzanna Simor, Director
- Alexandra de Luise, Curator
- Tara Mathison, Assistant Curator
