Upon request, a follow-up to the exhibition… Here are a few photos I’ve gathered of the Peraurim Exhibition, the Annual Florence Program Year-End Show held on Friday April 15th-16th 2008. This includes only a few photos of some of the work each of us created this past semester (due to slow internet connection at my place, they’ll be slowly but definitely coming!).
Nevena Niagolova, a 5th year student in the program (with the help of photos taken by Rob Palmer and cover photo by Melissa Espina) has so kindly dedicated her time and unique creativity to compiling a book for us that will be published in recognition and as a commemoration to some of the artwork we created this year in the program.
Shortly after the exhibit, we had a full intense (and also very inspiring) week of final critiques, with a panel that included our 2nd semester professor Martha Ladly, our history professor Peter Portical, and two visiting guests by professor Colette Laliberte and OCAD President Sara Diamond. And I can’t forget, also the critique, support, and encouragement from each of the fellow classmates in the program.
We ended the program with a full day of packing our work folio sopra folio di bubble wrap… now resting in a tall tube or box that are currently being shipped to Canada as I type!
We said our farewells and returned each of our set of keys to the studio in hopes that they will open doors to new experiences and inspirations for those who will be given the opportunity to delve into its nooks, corners, and crannies next school year. OCAD has been offering the Florence Off-Campus Studies to students and the opportunity to live and study abroad for almost 33 years now and it was truly an honor to be a part of it.
