Liretépa - Li(ght)+Re(flection)+Te(xture)+Pa(ttern) and Fo(rm) (October 2 - 31, Tatkon Center Art Gallery):
In this exhibit the photographer, Landscape Architect student Leigh McGonagle, focuses on 4 elements called Liretépa, also known as Li(ght) + Re(flections) + Te(xture) + Pa(tterns) and Fo(rm).  Each display case of digital photography, primarily from the Ithaca area, is based around one of these 4 themes. Her work in this exhibition spans the last 4 years with the Ithaca Gun Factory photographs being the most recent.

Coming Out of the Shadows: Latin American Women Tell Herstory (September 28 - October 4, Tatkon Student Art Gallery):
Sasha Lopez of Sigma Lambda Upsilon, Inc. provides information about one of the sorority’s national initiatives known as RAICES (ROOTS). This year’s RAICES theme, "Coming Out of the Shadows:  Latin American Women tell Herstory", will focus on revolutionary Latin women and their contributions to society.

Christopher Donohoe ‘09 (October 5 - October 31, Tatkon Student Art Gallery):
The focal point of this collection is the 24"x36" piece--Portrait of a Woman.  The festive colors yet solemn demeanor of the pieces reflect a certain ambivalence.  Overall, the collection draws inspiration from Egyptian scrolls and the plant life of the Nile River. This Egyptian influence, in turn, reflects the postmodern tradition by appropriating the spirit of the past in new and fresh ways.
