"Tracing Time" explores the tension between opposing structures and images. Sculptor Paul Mauren uses a practice that combines experimentation, traditional fabrication techniques and structural invention, reflecting the instability and vitality of both natural and built environments.
Mauren earned a bachelor’s degree in ceramics and a Master of Fine Arts in sculpture and drawing from Eastern Michigan University. During graduate school, he received a teaching fellowship and worked as a studio assistant to sculptor John Pappas, helping create a six-ton bronze sculpture commissioned for the Blue Cross Blue Shield fountain in Detroit.
Mauren joined the faculty at The College of Saint Rose in Albany in 1978, teaching sculpture until 2018 and serving as chair of the Art Department from 2012 to 2015. His work has been exhibited at galleries and museums throughout the Northeast and beyond, including Sculpture Center in New York City and the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio.
“Tracing Time” marks his second exhibition in Hudson Valley’s Teaching Gallery; his work was previously featured in “Open Processes 3” in 2003.
Garden: A site specific installation by Thomas Lail
Ongoing in the Administration Building Atrium
Garden, Professor Thomas Lail’s oversized rendering of a William Morris wallpaper pattern, scales the trellis of the Administration Building’s glass atrium, reflecting on the history of glassed-in winter gardens, cultivated nature, and the dream of Utopian architectures of transparency. The installation project is supported by the Hudson Valley Community College Foundation’s Stephen L. Hyatt Fine Arts Fund and installed with assistance from the college’s Graphics Department and Physical Plant, and NoName Graphics, Troy.
