A UW-L art faculty member will take his work to Rochester, Minn., for an upcoming exhibit.
Assistant Professor Binod Shrestha will exhibit in “Binod Shrestha: Echoes” from Aug. 23-Nov. 4 in the 3rd Floor Emerging Artist Series at the Rochester Art Center, 40 Civic Center Dr. SE. An opening reception begins at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 23, with an artist talk at 8. Light refreshments will be provided, along with a cash bar. Admission is free.
Shrestha draws on stories accessed through his artistic materials for research and production. Through objects, installations and video works, he addresses the notions of identity, duality and displacement, privileging materials that evoke sensation and memory. The materials are structured around vivid experiences, memories and stories of his native Nepal.
Shestha received MFA degrees from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia (painting and installation) and Bangalore University in Bangalore, India (art history). He was a resident fellow at the Skowhegan (Maine) School of Painting & Sculpture. He began teaching at UW-L in 2009.
The gallery is open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays; 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Thursdays; and noon-5 p.m. Sundays. Admission is $5 for adults; $3 for those 62 and older; and free for children, children, students, members and military families.
