The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point will share video works by seven emerging artists in China in an exhibit curated by an alumna of the university, Ellen Larson.
"Intermediary: Video Art from China" will be on display Monday, Feb. 13, through Sunday, March 5, at the Edna Carlsten Art Gallery in the Noel Fine Arts Center. A free, public opening reception will be held Feb. 13 from 4-6 p.m. in the gallery.
Larson, a 2012 graduate of UW-Stevens Point, worked with her mentor, Associate Professor Cortney Chaffin in the Department of Art & Design, to bring the exhibit to campus. Larson lived in China for four years, completing a master's degree in modern Chinese history. She also worked as an assistant to the director of the Space Station Gallery in Beijing, where she met many of the featured artists. Currently earning a doctoral degree in contemporary Chinese art at the University of Pittsburgh, Larson will return to UW-Stevens Point to help install the exhibit.
The gallery is sponsoring a lecture by one of the artists, Ye Funa, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 14, in the Dreyfus University Center Theater. A screening of "Poet on a Business Trip" by director Ju Anqi will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 2, in the Noel Fine Arts Center Room 221. The screening will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Ju. The exhibit will close with a reception from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, March 5, in the gallery. All events are open to the public free of charge.
The Carlsten Gallery is located on the second floor of the Noel Fine Arts Center. It is free and open to the public Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Thursday from 7-9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. For more information, go to www.uwsp.edu/art-design or call 715-346-3881
