Alumni Invitational 6 - Tang Teaching Museum

Overview

Alumni Invitational 6 continues a series of exhibitions featuring artwork by Skidmore College alumni artists. This iteration includes seven artists—Atlan Arceo-Witzl, Paris Baillie, Franne Davids, Jessie Edelman, Crystalle Lacouture, Gregg F. Moore, and Grace Sachi Troxell—who work in a variety of media.

Featured Artists and Media

• Atlan Arceo-Witzl ’18: mixed-race Chicanx artist, printmaker, educator. Creates new screenprint edition for the exhibition, encouraging visitors to take one.
• Paris Baillie ’17: director and animator of short films focusing on wistful characters and dreamlike worlds. Her work, alongside a selection of stop-motion films curated by Baillie, will be presented in a two-part film screening.
• Franne Davids x’72 (1950–2022): largely self-taught artist who produced over 400 paintings, often featuring imagined people.
• Jessie Edelman ’08: makes paintings exploring boundaries between public and private spaces, distance, desire, and longing, using found images, memories, and her own photographs.
• Crystalle Lacouture ’00: works primarily in printmaking, painting, and installation, drawing on sacred geometries, patterns, symbols, and coded forms of communication.
• Gregg F. Moore ’97: explores the relationship between ceramics and practices of gardening, farming, cooking, and eating. His work for Alumni Invitational 6 will be a new iteration of Pot Shop, an ongoing collaboration with artist Polly Apfelbaum.
• Grace Sachi Troxell ’13: uses clay to explore entanglements between organic and inorganic materials, and form and deformity. Her biomorphic sculpture incorporates casts from vegetables or body parts.
