Slow Motion
Have you ever dropped a glass and wondered what’s physically happening in that split second when it shatters? The images by Dan Phakos ’11 were created in a controlled environment where the sound of impact triggers a strobe light, illuminating the scene for a fraction of second, long enough to capture the image on film. The result is perfectly frozen motion of an object being broken apart; a sight too fast to be captured by the human eye. “Slow Motion” is co-sponsored by the departments of Physics and Visual Arts.

Works by James McGarrell
This exhibit features “Orbiana Oliveto,” a suite of monotype drawings by Vermont artist James McGarrell with related poems by noted poet Rosanna Warren, as well as a selection of small paintings.

His work is included in the permanent collections of the Whitney, the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, among others.
Warren has served as chancellor of the Academy of American Poets and The New York Times Resident in Literature at the American Academy in Rome. She is a contributing editor of Seneca Review, the poetry editor of Daedalus and the Emma MacLachlan Metcalf Professor of the Humanities at Boston University.
McGarrell will speak Thursday, March 5, 2 p.m., in Reamer Campus Center Auditorium, followed by an artists' reception in the Arts Atrium, 4:30-6 p.m. Warren will give a poetry reading 6:30-7:30 p.m. in Visual Arts Room 215. Events are co-sponsored by departments of Visual Arts and English.
