Save for Later is a presentation of the impulses to preserve, to recall, and to postpone. As a collaborative exhibition by Will Hart and Rachel Lemme, two distinct sets of narratives are presented through photography, sculpture, and printmaking.
“It’s a gasp of surprise, or a squeal of delight. Maybe a breathless thank you thank you thank you, or quiet, wide-eyed amazement. When you step into our world of wonder, fun fills the air, and the noise of everyday life fades away.
Ignore the schedule. Decline the call. Build-A-Bear Workshop is where your child grabs your hand and your heart and together you’re inspired to create. Here, everyone is empowered to imagine, and every bear begins a story. Bring your loved ones, and see how building a furry friend is building so much more.”

“4 Asian girls show you how to wash your rice before you cook it and how to peel persimmons on the go. How to wrap dumplings and how to stay silent. How it is to be Korean, to be Taiwanese, to be half-Filipina in America.”
Quiet Urgency is an exhibition featuring undergraduate work by Irene Chau, Izzy Cho, Grace Kwon, and Marisa Smith.
“Books are threshold objects. Even with their backs turned on us, spines out, they seem to beckon. Like unearthed artifacts, their appearance is charged with incipience, their small heft suggesting pockets of space and time a reader might re/enter through the conduit of her body (eyes peering, hands grasping, the theater of the mind set into motion). Both as symbolic objects and as experiences, books possess the allure of the real and expansiveness of the immaterial, marking a dilation of presence in absence.”–Rebecca Childers
This exhibit examines the ways in which the book–as object, sculpture, archive–intersects with artistic practice. As perhaps our most ubiquitous form of technology, from its invention the book has developed into an object that is democratic and sharable, a vessel of information both visual and textual. The artists in this show approach the book in a variety of different ways: as sculptural objects in and of themselves, as archives of images, as recepticals of words, and yet each harkens back to this most familiar and mysterious of forms.
Please join us for a closing reception Thursday 4:00-6:00 in the LaVerne Krause Gallery immediately before the Visiting Artist Lecture. And be sure to stop by during the week and peruse this strange and unexpected library.

Chromaphobia by McKenzie Davie is a study of the personal/social connotations of the color pink. Part installation/part performance. Inspired by Janet Reeves/Yves Klein. McKenzie Davie is a senior Art major who focuses on painting, installation, performance art, and photography.
this show is going to suck-
full of rejection, dissatisfaction, apathy, & failure – it digs through the secret piles of art that were never meant to be seen. sifting through the rejects, scraping the crud off the surface to reveal the mysteries of the broken, mediocre, & almost good-enough. “hard feelings” pulls back the curtain to give you the full picture: the raw, unpolished, messiness of making.
“Hard Feelings” is curated by Alexander Wurts and on display in the LaVerne Krause Gallery from
January 9- 13 with a closing reception Thursday, January 12 at 5pm.
Work by MFA’s, Mandy Hampton, Laura Hughes, and Mary Margret Morgan.
Work by Erin Carstens and Julia Sherman.
Erin and Julia work collaboratively as “Her the Studio” based in Portland Oregon.
