Silvia Ruzanka
Botanical Computing: Phyto-Cybernetics
On View: Feb. 1 – March 2, 2024
Media Artist Silvia Ruzanka, an assistant professor in the Department of Arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, presents “Botanical Computing: Phyto-Cybernetics,” an exhibition of digital “landscapes.” Her projects include virtual reality, interactive installation, video, and performance in which she explores the archaeology and memory of technology and media, and their intersections with everyday life. “I am interested in the tension between the rationality of the digital and the complex messiness of human experience. For me, art is a way of teasing out the irrational inside technology,” the artist writes. “Human bodies, plant bodies, and digital computer bodies are all defined by material constraints.”
She has exhibited at galleries, museums, and festivals internationally, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the New Forms Festival, Vancouver; and Shenzhen’s Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture in China. Ruzanka holds an MFA in Art and Technology Studies from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a B.A. in Physics from Smith College. In addition to teaching, she currently is a Ph.D. candidate in Visual Arts: Philosophy, Aesthetics and Art Theory at the Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts in Portland, ME. Her research is in the philosophy of computation and care.

The Blindspot of an Old Dream
Dec. 1, 2022 - Feb. 11, 2023
An exhibition of paintings and installation by NYC Artist Jessica Hargreaves.
“The Blindspot of an Old Dream” depicts mundane, intimate and fraught human experiences through figurative and animal imagery placed in allegorical settings. Her style pays homage to history paintings, but with added molded creatures – wild-eyed snakes, tigers, seahorses and dogs – bulging out of the canvas and meandering the gilded frame. Vladimir Putin, Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé and other recognizable figures populate her paintings that depict both fantastical and realistic settings, or an unsettling mix of both. Hargreaves states that her directness and technique “bring humanity’s convoluted and emotional landscape into high relief.”
Since 2010, she has exhibited in numerous one-person and group exhibits throughout the greater NYC metropolitan area. She and two other artists co-direct Mother-in-Law's, an experimental, installation-based project space in Germantown (Columbia County). Hargreaves was born and raised in London, and earned a Bachelor’s degree with honors in fashion and textile design at Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London). After working in fashion and illustration in NYC, she received a Master of Fine Arts degree from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. She currently lives and works in NYC.
Simple Forms and Complex Systems
Sept. 22 - Nov. 10, 2022
An exhibition of recent work by Photographer Gregg Stanger.
With a background in fine art and biology, Gregg Stanger’s artwork merges traditional photographic processes with geometric abstraction to explore the relationship between order and disorder. This exhibition includes collages on stretched linen canvas and cyanotype grids on handmade paper, traditional materials that Stanger says “add an additional layer of complexity” to his work that is “inspired by the seemingly unpredictable outcomes of complex systems, such as organisms, ecosystems, climate, and the universe itself.”
The works on canvas incorporate simple, monochromatic photographs, while the folded paper grids are created with layers of a light-sensitive cyanotype emulsion – eliminating the camera all together. After multiple exposures to indirect window light, “the irregularities in the handmade paper, the inconsistencies in the hand folding, and the unevenness of the coated layers of emulsion resulted in an imperfect grid. Every azure square was unique.” For Stanger, “This repetitive process became an exercise is letting go. I didn’t know where each piece would take me. I thought that by casting off my human instinct to order things, the outcome would be chaos. But instead, I discovered an equilibrium, a harmony more akin to the order of nature.”
Spring 2022 Student Year-End Art Exhibits

It is a view into those months where what was on our walls was our solace, inspiration, comfort and context. What was on our walls was what we looked at,” Fine Arts Professor Thomas Lail writes in an introductory statement to this post-lockdown exhibit.

Home Alone 3: On Pause
Online Tuesday, Feb. 9 - Friday, April 16, 2021
The work of artists Janaye Brown, Matt Frieburghaus, Megan Suttles and Mandy Cano Villalobos are featured in “Home Alone 3: On Pause,” the third virtual exhibition presented by the Teaching Gallery as pandemic safety protocols keep the on-campus gallery closed.
The video works in “Home Alone 3: On Pause” examine the passing of time during this period of ongoing isolation as the coronavirus surges across the nation. “As we all dream of the day when life may return to ‘normal,’ these four artists are renewing ongoing investigations, resurrecting past projects or entirely shifting gears in response to social distancing and isolation,” Teaching Gallery Director Tara Fracalossi writes in an exhibit essay.
“The artists presented here grapple with the universal experiences of boredom, loneliness, claustrophobia, patience and, through the sheer persistence of making work, hope. From the amusing to the quietly contemplative, the works included in “Home Alone 3: On Pause” speak to the breadth and commonality of our experiences as we wait and hope for the dark cloud of COVID-19 to clear.”
Fall 2020 Faculty & Alumni Art Exhibits

Double Vision - Artists Who Instagram
Feb. 7 - March 9, 2019
Photo Gallery of Exhibit in Teaching Gallery
Artist Talk: Thursday, Feb. 7 from 3 - 4 p.m. in the Bulmer Telecommunications Center, Auditorium
Opening Reception: Thursday, Feb. 7 from 4 - 6 p.m. in the Teaching Gallery
Guest-curated by Janice Caswell and Erick Johnson
The exhibition, curated by New York City-based artists Janice Caswell and Erick Johnson, is an expanded and updated version of one mounted in September 2017 at LABspace in Hillsdale, NY. In addition to Caswell and Johnson, Double Vision: Artists Who Instagram features work by Rosaire Appel, Joan Grubin, Mary Lum, Tom Martinelli, Doreen McCarthy, Tom Nicol, Chris Sauter, Karen Schifano and Karen Schiff.
“Double Vision” investigates the sometimes blurred line between studio and street. When the artist leaves the studio, what do they “see” and what do they photograph? Is it an extension of their vision, a corollary practice, or something in between? How do the two feed each other? By offering instant options to edit, display, share and store images, the smartphone has changed how we interact with what we see. As the curators’ awareness grew of the many other artists using Instagram, it was apparent that the photos seem directly connected to the art made in the studio, though none of the artists had yet presented these photographs as their primary art form.

Owen, a trained sculptor who has been painting for several years, presents cut paper works that blur the line between painting and sculpture.

Jonathan Kirk – Studio Maquettes
Sept. 14 – Oct. 14, 2017
Utica artist Jonathan Kirk presents an exhibition of models and studies. Kirk's sculptures, while abstract, are evocative of a wide range of sources, from the natural and organic world to forms of industrial and naval architecture. The works explore the intersection between the artist and the engineer, but still embody the mysterious nature of what might be called s"cultural machinery" and demonstrate how the collective visual unconscious is plundered and sampled to create forms that are at once familiar yet new.

So That I Might Speak to You of Your Magnificence: Sculpture, Drawings and Installation by Sarah Walko
Feb. 2 - March 4, 2017
So That I Might Speak to You of Your Magnificence, an exhibition of sculpture, installation and drawings by Brooklyn artist Sarah Walko explores the mythic possibilities of objects, images and imagination. The artist mines the unknowable space between her combined materials for new possibilities of narrative, essence and reality. Using such disparate found materials as animal bones, bird nests, gems, flora, texts and test tubes, Walko distills their enigmatic qualities through juxtapositions that establish unexpected tableaux or situations. As ancient alchemists sought in their proto-scientific experiments a physical manifestation for intangible transitions of spirit and essence, Walko funnels these new relationships between objects to evoke the irrational and the illusory much as a shaman unites good and evil or consciousness and physical existence.

Many of their works in "At the Tree Line" evoke the human figure and the landscape.
