NDSU University News- MU Gallery Student Juried Art Show to be exhibited at the MU Gallery Fargo, N.D., Jan. 7 – North Dakota State University student art will be on display at the Memorial Union Gallery from Jan. 14 to Feb. 24 in the second annual student juried art show at the current gallery location above the bookstore. The show features 31 original pieces of various mediums created by 23 student artists during the past year. Rusty Freeman, juror for the exhibit, was formerly the director of exhibitions and chief curator of the Plains Art Museum. He served as curator for three major art exhibitions featuring local artists. He now works in Mount Vernon, Ill., as director of visual arts at Cedarhurst Center for the Arts. Freeman earned a Master of Arts in History of Art at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va. He specialized in modern and contemporary art. Freeman awarded Best of Show to Kris Kuster from Reynolds, N.D., for his watercolor and collage titled “Extraction 3.” Second place was given to Adam Roeder of Bismarck, N.D., for his bronze sculpture titled “Homage to Henry Moore.” There were two honorable mentions awarded to Anna Johnson of Bismarck, N.D., for “Jack Rabbits,” and to Joshua Zeis of Langdon, N.D., for “The Burden and the Stable.” “The students submitted a diversity of media and content,” said Esther Hockett, gallery coordinator. “Visitors to the Gallery will find whimsy and social commentary, edgy digital images and traditionally influenced sculpture.” The exhibit also includes pieces of various mediums including digital media, paintings, ceramics, photography and sculpture. An opening reception will be held in the Memorial Union Gallery on Thursday, Jan. 21, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be provided. The event is free and open to the public.
