INTERIOR: Site-Specific Paper Installation
March 14 to December 30, 2011, at the Queens College Art Center (Benjamin S. Rosenthal Library, Level 6).
Marked by the artist's surreal sense of wit and whimsy, Suzanne Morlock's work communicates unstable ever-present tension by transforming the familiar, in this case newspaper, to give a new spin on recycling and to breathe life into cast off materials.
THE THWARTED KISS: A PANORAMA OF ART IN TURKEY
October 5 to January 12, 2012, throughout the Benjamin Rosenthal Library. Free and open to the public.
Curated by Paul Remeczki, Suzanna Simor, and Stevie Kasparian, Queens College Art Library. Part of the Year of Turkey at QC, this exhibition, drawn from the holdings of the Art Library, displays a sampling of the abundant diversity of visual art to be found in this bridge of civilization.
Music Library
The Aaron Copland School of Music: Past, Present, and Future
The Music Library is excited to announce our inaugural exhibit The Aaron Copland School of Music: Past, Present, and Future. The exhibit, which will be on display for the entire academic year, includes:
- A recently acquired manuscript of a composition by Luigi Dallapiccola (donated by George Sturm, a Queens College alumni and former student of Dallapiccola)
- Artifacts related to the founding of the School of Music, the naming of the Aaron Copland School of Music, and the new Music Building
- Manuscripts, rare books, and other items by and from past and current faculty and alumni
- Programs, photos, costumes, and other memorabilia from past and current Aaron Copland School of Music concerts and productions
- Glimpses of the future of our recent graduates and current students
We are grateful to Elizabeth Keitel, widow of Claude Palisca (a Queens College graduate and renowned musicologist) for donating the funds to build these beautiful display cases, and for Edward Smaldone for facilitating this project. Special thanks to Rebecca Hyams, who played a major role in selecting the items to display and installing the display; Min Ahn, who created all of the collages and helped with design solutions; and the entire Music Library staff for the help throughout the project. The Music Library would also like to thank the faculty and staff of the Aaron Copland School of Music, the Queens College Libraries, the Queens College Libraries Special Collections and Archives Department.
Please come enjoy the rich history of the Aaron Copland School of Music!
