Russian Photographer Irena Rozovsky opened her photography exhibit in Nuneman Hall (Building 1200) Friday, February 15th. The exhibition seated about 100 guests, who were audience to the photographer explaining and previewing two of her works, This Russia and One to Nothing, about her native homeland, represented by a slideshow on three screens placed strategically throughout the room.
The works depicted showcased some of the religious turmoil still present in the region, as well as heartwarming scenes of camaraderie and team work, like One to Nothing’s title piece, that shows two brothers wrestling on the beach in order to build strength and unison, necessary to survive in the troubled country.
This is the second in the scheduled Spring 2013 Exhibitions, following Lorena Guillen Vaschetti’s opening in January of her mental pondering of the past through photography running through April 14th and preceding two more, Janelle Lynch’s artist talk, book signing and reception for her work about the culture and past of Mexico on Friday, March 29th and Naten Dvir’s project featuring 18-year-old Arabs in Israel opening on Friday, February 15th, from 6-8PM.
Dana Papa’s work, “Not Natasha”, also opens on February 15th and runs until May 12th, but the artist talk and book signing have been canceled. More information can be found at the museum’s website.
