College of Charleston in Charleston, SC, Offers Annual Student Exhibition
The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston's School of the Arts will host the annual juried student art exhibition, Young Contemporaries 2006, at the Halsey Gallery in Charleston, SC. The exhibition will be on view from Mar. 31 to Apr. 28, 2006.
This year's juror is
Gideon Bok, a recent Guggenheim recipient and a professor of art
at Hampshire College in Massachusetts. The Studio Art Department
at the College offers instruction in painting, drawing, printmaking,
sculpture, and photography. Each spring, students at the College
who have shown exceptional artistic ability are invited to submit
their work for jurying in hopes of having their work exhibited
in the professional gallery setting of the Halsey Institute.
Concurrent with the Young Contemporaries show in the gallery
is the Salon des Refuses in the student gallery. The origin
of the "Salon des Refuses" dates back to Paris, 1863
when an exhibit was held by command of Napoleon III for those
artists whose works had been refused by the jury of the official
Salon. In 1863 the Salon rejected paintings, which caused such
a protest from the rejected painters and their supporters that
they formed their own exhibition, "Salon des Refuses".
Among the painters in the "refused" show were Camilled
Pissaro, Henri Fantin-Latour, James M. Whistler and Edouard Manet.
Young Contemporaries
2006 is co-sponsored
by the Halsey Institute, the Department of Studio Art, and the
College of Charleston's Visual Arts Club.
