(MAHWAH, NJ) - Arthur Ganson: Kinetic Mandala, a Ramapo Curatorial Prize exhibition surveying the works of Arthur Ganson, opens in the Kresge Gallery in the Berrie Center at Ramapo College on November 2 and continues through December 7. A panel discussion with curator Daniel Mason and artists Arthur Ganson, Christina Campanella, Chehalis Hegner, and Randall Okita will take place on November 2 from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. in the Adler Theater, and will be followed by an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. An artist and curator talk will be held at 6 p.m. in the Kresge Gallery. The exhibition will showcase the career of the Boston-based artist, featuring more than 20 works that span the past 30 years of his achievement in kinetic art and video. Works inspired by Ganson’s art will also be featured including a musical score by Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez, photographs by Chehalis Hegner, and a short film by Randall Okita. In addition to these extant works, two new pieces have been specifically commissioned for this exhibition. New York-based composer Christina Campanella’s live-sound installation Breathe (2011) utilizes noises produced in real time from Ganson’s sculpture Machine with Breath (1992); and Boston-based photographer Chehalis Hegner has created a photograph that serves as the exhibition’s poster image.
