Clemson University in Clemson, SC,
Offers Exhibit that Looks at How Place May Determine Your Identity
Clemson University in Clemson, SC, is presenting the exhibit, Where You're From, featuring works by Donna Mintz, William Mize, Beverly Buchanan, Frances de La Rosa, Ilene Sunshine, Mark Flowers, and Jim Campbell in the Lee Gallery, on view through Sept. 26, 2008.
The basic values and views of an individual
usually spring from their home and that home's place. Where
You're From looks at home place as a wellspring of principles
and perspectives. The south has a particular understanding of
home place as essential to values and view and thus identity.
Southerners when introduced to strangers will almost always ask
"Where you from?" the contracted question of polite
conversation aimed at getting to know someone. "Where you're
from," is also a declaration that acknowledges the influence
and preeminence of home place.
This exhibition was curated to compliment the Summer Freshman
Reading, One Foot in Eden by Ron Rash.
The exhibition includes: Donna Mintz's installation, reliquary; paintings by William Mize, Beverly Buchanan, Virginia Derryberry and Frances de La Rosa, sculpture by NYC based Ilene Sunshine, mixed media work by Pennsylvania based Mark Flowers, and Mill Village Dreams, a series of prints and paintings by Jim Campbell from Greenville, SC, will be on view.
