Women Play Key Role In Jundt Exhibit

Two new exhibits open at the Jundt Art Museum on the Gonzaga University campus on Friday.

“LAS (IN)VISIBLES Women Artists of Uruguay” features 36 paintings, photographs, watercolors and prints.

Black-and-white photographs of the contemporary artists, personal quotes and background text on each of the artists will be included in the display. Gallery text will be in both English and Spanish.

At noon every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday during the exhibition (through March 4), a 90-minute video documentary will be shown. The video, in Spanish with English captions, will address the work of the artists in the context of the country’s changing politics and culture.

A free slide lecture will be presented on Feb. 20 by the curator of the exhibit, Stacey Wescott of Seattle, following a reception from 5 to 7:30 p.m.

The other exhibit, in the Arcade Gallery, features photographs by Robert Doisneau, who preferred to photograph everyday subjects in his native France.

Doisneau was a noted reportage photographer before his death in 1994 and preferred shooting the amusing episodes in daily life that often go unnoticed. The exhibit ends May 10.

All museum exhibits are free and open to the public. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

‘Landscape in Transition’

The Spokane Art School Gallery is now showing the “Landscapes in Transition” exhibit, which features black-and-white photography by three Northwest artists: Trygve Steen of Portland, Ore.; Ken Smith of Riverside, Wash., and John. S. Lewis of Spokane. The exhibition will continue through Feb. 14.

The photographs capture dramatic and subtle changes in the landscape, both natural and human-made.

Gallery hours are from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. All exhibits are free and open to the public. The gallery is located at 920 N. Howard.

The 129th Annual American Watercolor Society Traveling Exhibition will be on display at the Corbin Art Center through March 13. The Daniel Corbin Gallery is the only stop in the Northwest for the exhibit, which features 40 watercolor paintings chosen from a juried show in New York.

The show is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The Corbin Art Center is located in the D.C. Corbin mansion at 507 W. Seventh.
