Reflections: Painting With Pixels at Hallwalls

The Polish-American Photo Workshop Exhibition opened last Friday, April 17 during the Ignatian Scholarship Day in Alumni Hallway, the corridor that connects Old Main to the Bouwhuis Library. The exhibition is a result of a photography workshop organized by prof. P.J. Moskal (Digital Media Arts Program, Canisius College) and prof. Mariusz Dabrowski (Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in Poland). The workshop took place in the north African country of Tunisia in January of 2009. Four Canisius College students attended the workshop along with Academy students from Warsaw.  The exhibition is curated by Ms Magda Sykulska, a doctoral candidate at the Academy, who visited Canisius College and who also gave a presentation in the class of prof. Justine Price about prof. Dabrowski’s photography teaching techniques. This exhibition was recently presented in Poland at the Museum Palace at Wilanow, a former royal residence and one of the most prominent museums in Poland. The exhibition will be on view till Friday, April 24th, 2009.
