Hamilton's Emerson Gallery will present an artists’ talk with Samuel Pellman, the Leonard C. Ferguson Professor of Music, and alumna Miranda Raimondi ’08, on Thursday, Feb. 18, at noon in the gallery. Pellman and Raimondi will discuss their work, "Music From Space: Samuel Pellman and Miranda Raimondi’s Selected Nebulae."
The work features electroacoustic vignettes created by Pellman that draw upon visual space observatories and paired with video edited by Raimondi. The piece is part of LOOK UP, four concurrent exhibitions featuring works by Hamilton College alumni, faculty and students, which runs until April 18. The exhibitions and associated events are free and open to the public.
The other three exhibits that make up LOOK UP include:
· " From 60,000 Miles Away: The Glass Galaxies of Josh Simpson" presents works of glass by noted artist and Hamilton alumnus Josh Simpson ’72.
· " Visions of Earth-Sky: MesoAmerica and the Cosmos," drawing from the Emerson Gallery collections and examining the role of the cosmos in pre-Columbian civilizations in the Mesoamerican region.
· " Teaching the Stars: Prints and Photographs from the Christian H.F. Peters Papers" presenting a series of photographs from Peters’ own observations as a 19th century Hamilton astronomy professor as well as his teaching materials.
