Putting the Bloom on

UNTITLED 2008: The installation Cody Bloom has made specifically for this exhibition will include a series of drawings done over the last several weeks. He has approached these drawings with an experimental influence, utilizing photos from friends and source material from scientific interests.

The exhibition will run May 2 through 23 in conjunction with This is the Last Thing You’ll Ever See, the senior capstone exhibition of Lisa Greif, Lucas Kruse and Risa Ubagai (see Page 12).

There will be an opening reception honoring all the artists Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. in the gallery. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
