The exhibition will also feature art and artifacts from the university\u2019s collections.\u00a0 A public art project, \u201cLawn (Re)disturbance Laboratory\u201d by artists Anne Percoco and Ellie Irons, is currently on view on the campus grounds.\u00a0 The exhibition is curated by Samantha Becker, a graduate student in the Museum Professions Program at Seton Hall University.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2808 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/files\/2019\/10\/brent.jpg\" alt=\"Image: Adam Brent \u201cIntake\u201d 3D printed PLA plastic, Acrylic Paint, Wooden Step Stool, 2019\" width=\"255\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/files\/2019\/10\/brent.jpg 408w, https:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/libraries\/files\/2019\/10\/brent-177x300.jpg 177w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 85vw, 255px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Becker\u2019s goal in curating a show on this theme is to present a diverse, yet important, series of issues surrounding water \u2013 a resource we often take for granted.\u00a0 Notes Becker, \u201cWhen a social issue is presented in our society, numbers on a television screen or in a newspaper do not evoke the same empathy as a personal connection to the issue.\u00a0 This show will make the many issues surrounding this precious resource evident in an experiential manner.\u201d\u00a0 The curator also worked with students and faculty from the University Libraries, Environmental Studies and the School of Diplomacy to understand the issues from numerous angles. One of the components of the collaboration with the University Libraries and the School of Diplomacy is a Water Data Visualization Project, which will be on view in the Walsh Gallery Display Windows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>The Walsh Gallery is open 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday\u2014Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artists Exhibit Under the Thematic Umbrella of Water NEW WORLD WATER November 4 \u2013 December 13, 2019 Opening Reception: Thursday, November 7th (5pm to 9pm) The Walsh Gallery is pleased to present New World Water, a group exhibition which examines humanity\u2019s relationship with water through the lens of contemporary art.
