The Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Visual Arts at Princeton University is set to present Panama Canal, an interactive, multimedia exhibition by senior Cara Michell of sculptures and assemblages that explore acts of exclusivity and privatization in urban spaces.
The work will be on exhibit April 7 through 11 with a reception where visitors can meet the artist on April 10 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Lucas Gallery. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
Michell is majoring in visual arts at Princeton through a collaborative program of the Department of Art and Archaeology and the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Visual Arts. She is also pursuing a certificate in Urban Studies, which feeds into the content of her work.
Her sculptures and assemblages in the gallery will fall into three types: structures whose functions are uncomfortably ambiguous, permeable barriers, and structures whose functions are contradicted, such as a bench with a hole where one might sit.
The show will also feature photography and two-dimensional assemblages inspired by Michell’s research in several cities.
The Lucas Gallery is located at 185 Nassau Street, Princeton.
