The lower gallery in the University of Delaware gallery in the Crane Arts building has work by recently accepted artists into the MFA program.  The room always is a great space to show work, DoN found the current show of emerging talent to be rich, diverse and solid, the cement walls and floor offer a post-post neo-modernism vibe letting the art provide all necessary context.

Claudia Torres-Guillemand, Untitled, plaster and balloons.  Futurism is what DoN thinks of observing these objects like each piece is communicating the moment of it’s creation as in Umberto Boccioni’s, “Unique Forms of Continuity in Space”, 1913.

Kenny Delio, Extinction, brown stoneware and wire.  DoN LoVeS the mixed metaphors in the crafty sculpture with shades of Barney (the dinosaur), Alien, natural history, Metamorphosis – the reclining gesture implying a sleeping dragon or a turtle unable to right itself.  Deep.
