Two arts classes will be heading to the University of Massachusetts Amherst for a exhibit of work by Chuck Close on Thursday, October 8 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. “Chuck Close Photographs” is a comprehensive survey of significant scope, exploring how the artist has stretched the boundaries of photographic means, methods, and approaches throughout his career.  It includes 129 photographs spanning from 1968 to the present, ranging from black and white portraits to monumentally scaled composite Polaroids, to intimately scaled daguerreotypes. For the first time in his extensive exhibition history, this project delves deeply into the full range of his photographic works. The event is required for all students enrolled in Advanced Practices in Studio Art or Alt. Photographic Processes. Those with questions or concerns should contact faculty members Ed Hing, Natania Hume, or Daniel Roe.
