Art students depict change by bringing LA seasons into Powell rotunda
The UCLA Campus has a few dedicated exhibition spaces, but students often organize and install their own shows in creative venues outside of those galleries. This show, organized by the Art History Undergraduate Student Association is taking place in Powell Library, and features work by art department students Ago Visconti, Alaina Dexter, Richard Nam, and Ricky Amadour among others.
"Students in search of some sunlit studying need not look any further than the campus library’s rotunda.
The Art History Undergraduate Student Association created an art exhibition in Powell Library focusing on different incarnations of the four seasons, revealing each artists’ personal relation to seasonal change. The exhibition opened Thursday and will run until Feb. 1 in the rotunda of Powell Library.
“At its core, the exhibition is about seasons and change struggling in a city that is eternally the same,” said Ricky Amadour, a fourth-year art and art history student.
The idea for the AHUSA exhibition’s theme sprang from a joke about the irony of seasonal change within Los Angeles, a city famous for its year-round summer. Madelyn Duncan, the co-president of AHUSA, said the members of the association then came together to form an art exhibit around the theme of seasons."— Kaia Sherry, Jan. 16, 2018
