Seven hundred years of Russia’s isolation from the rest of the world came to a halt when Peter the Great commanded the construction of a new capital at St. Petersburg, on the Baltic shore. With this symbolic action, he opened a “window on the West.” The resulting influx of ideas, styles, fashions and ideologies altered the fabric of Russian society and profoundly influenced its most emblematic artistic expression: the religious icon. - visit http://mag.rochester.edu/exhibitions/index.html#Icons - ------ - - '''Subverting the Sacred: The Face of Lenin''' October 5, 2008-January 4, 2009 in the Grand Gallery - Images of Vladimir Ilich Lenin, founder of the Russian Communist Party and first leader of the Soviet Union, permeated every aspect of Soviet society from his death in 1924 until the country’s breakup in 1991. Despite Lenin’s objections to any sort of cult behavior, religious or secular, his face--reproduced on traditional artworks and mass-produced objects alike--would become a "new icon" for the Soviet citizenry. - - Organized by MAG, this companion show to Tradition in Transition brings together paintings, posters and artifacts collected by David Rittenhouse, a UR graduate and former member of the US Foreign Service. - visit http://mag.rochester.edu/exhibitions/index.html#Wood - ------- - - '''GlassWear''' April 19–June 28, 2009 in the Grand Gallery - GlassWear celebrates the marriage of two of the richest and most inventive areas in today’s decorative arts—glass and jewelry. It features approximately 130 works by 60 leading contemporary artists from the United States, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, and South Africa. Exploiting the inherent properties of glass—transparency, fluidity, sharpness, fragility and reflection—the objects are mysterious, sensuous, and colorful. - - There is no better stage for this exciting work than Rochester. The School for American Crafts at RIT and artistic communities in nearby Corning and Alfred have placed Western New York on the map as an important hub for fine craft work. The exhibition was developed by the Museum of Arts & Design in New York City and the Jewelry Museum in Pforzheim, Germany, home to one of the world’s finest collections of modern jewelry. - http://mag.rochester.edu/exhibitions/newex.html#Glass - - [Back To home page http://rocwiki.org/ ];	+ #redirect Memorial Art Gallery/Previous Exhibitions + ADOPT ["Memorial Art Gallery/Previous Exhibitions"]
