Artist Talk: Dana Clancy. 1pm-1:30pm. Hollister
Gallery
Meet Dana Clancy, creator of the works seen in Points of
View. Clancy paints places that she has experienced in
person and works from multiple photographs to create a
composite image whose geometric edges draw attention
to the experience of being in these environments.
Clancy’s work has been in solo exhibitions at Boston
University, the Danforth Museum of Art, the Brattleboro
Museum & Art Center, and Laconia Gallery in Boston's South End. She has participated in group
exhibitions nationally, including Delta Axis at Marshall Arts, Memphis, and Bowery Gallery, New

made from recyclable items or vintage
clothes. The segments include our
interpretation of the Uniform Project, Paper
and Plastic, Denim, and Vintage. Many of
the items are made by students here at
Babson College, and some come as far away
as Turkey from a course on sustainability.
After the show, items will be on display in
Reynolds, near the sustainability office, and
in Trim, near the art studio.

BABSON FINE ARTS ASSOCIATION Presents An Altered Book Workshop! Taught by Susanna Kroll
Learn how to recycle used books into works of art by creating collages out of the pages! Tell your own story in a very unique way! No experience necessary. All supplies are provided, but bring photographs, magazines, fabric, etc to put into your collages to make it your own! Unleash your creativity by reconstructing a story to make it your own. You’ll use used books to piece together a new story out of images.
Points of View. Hollister Gallery On display until January 21, 2011 Hours: Monday – Thursday 8:00 am-7:00 pm
Dana Clancy’s artwork is about
the rituals associated with
traveling and looking, with
places that are specifically set
up as viewing spaces. The artist
is interested in the way we use
photography to remember and
communicate a visual
experience. She only paints

places that she has experienced in person and works from multiple photographs to create a
complex composite image whose geometric edges draw attention to the touch of the artist
and reference the immersive sometimes overwhelming experience of being in these
particular environments.
The paintings on view at Babson are an expansion
of her series exploring people’s interaction with art
and architecture in museums. Clancy has used her
finely tuned sense of color and form to re-frame
spaces within the Guggenheim, MOMA, Tate, and
Mass MOCA, to make paintings that speak to the
intensity and alteration of memory.
In “Points of View” she has made a new series of
shaped paintings based on Anish Kapoor’s
sculpture Cloud Gate and the Renzo Piano addition
to the Art Institute of Chicago. Taking her
geometric perspective explorations into three
dimensions through the use of architectural model
board as a painting surface allows Clancy to create
intimate sculptural paintings whose lines, shapes,
and silver surfaces change as the viewer moves.
Dana Clancy is a painter and assistant professor at Boston University's School of Visual Arts.
She received a BA in English Literature from Vassar College and an MFA in Painting from
Boston University.
Ms. Clancy has exhibited her work in solo exhibitions at Boston University, the Danforth Museum of Art, the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, and Laconia Gallery in Boston's South End. She has been included in group exhibitions nationally, including Delta Axis at Marshall Arts, Memphis, and Bowery Gallery, New York.
