Pendulum Labyrinth

Created by artists D. Shayne Aldrich ’98 and Tina Tacorian ’01. The labyrinth is a mystical design of unknown origin, rich in universal symbolism. Today, all over the world, people work with this ancient symbol in a variety of ways, yet no one has unlocked its mystery. The walk-able design, created by D. Shayne Aldrich ’98 and Tina Tacorian ’01 and inspired by the movement of a pendulum, is a reference to the passage of time. Its faceted perimeter echoes the deeply symbolic architecture of the Nott Memorial.

Arnold Bittleman: Selections from the Union College Permanent Collection

This independent study final project by Liza Turkel ’08 brings together a number of works by Arnold Bittleman never before shown together. Bittleman was a professor of Art at Union College from 1966 until his premature death in 1985. His works are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Brooklyn Museum, among many others. This exhibition was made possible with help from Rachel Seligman, director of The Mandeville Gallery and curator of the Permanent Collection, and Prof. David Ogawa, associate professor and chair of the Visual Arts Department. An opening reception is set for Friday, June 6, 5–6 p.m. at the Nott.
