A minimalist gallery space with white walls and a polished concrete floor features several wireframe sculptures arranged throughout the room. The thin metal outlines form abstract shapes resembling benches, a standing figure with a red element at the top, and a small rectangular structure. The sparse installation creates an open, airy exhibition environment.

The University Art Galleries premiered three new exhibitions on Jan. 13 which will be open for visitation until Feb. 10. These exhibitions explore a variety of topics and themes and provide immersive elements to place you into the artist’s world. The exhibits are as follows: “Painted Lady,” a solo exhibition by Ariel McCleese; “Do You Want to Quit? Intimacy, Site, Self” curated by Erin Gordon; and “Matters of Time” curated by Brianna BakkeBest. Each exhibit seeks to challenge and encourage visitors to reconsider preconceptions of abstract concepts such as time, self-consciousness and the internet as a flimsy site for discourse, among others.
