This exhibition of paintings by Philadelphia artist Morgan
Craig explores how the abandoned architectural edifices from a post-industrial
era affect and influence a society. Large in scale, Morgan’s paintings depict
the stark interiors of forgotten and ruinous factories, prisons, or urban
structures. Craig has exhibited
throughout the U.S.A. Canada, Europe, and Australia, including OK Harris in New
York City, SPACES in Cleveland, the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts, and
the Australian National University. He has received numerous awards including a
Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant, Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grants and
Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowships. He has also participated
in residencies including Atelje Stundars in Finland, the Macdowell Colony, and
Bemis Center for the Contemporary Arts.
Fall gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.-7
p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.; and Saturday, noon-2 p.m. To find the gallery
when classes are in session, we suggest using the M6 parking lot on the north
corner of the campus. Enter through any door and follow the ramps uphill to the
highest point of the first floor, where the gallery is located. The gallery
windows overlook the outdoor fountain area.
As always, the exhibit and reception are free and open to the public.
This program is partially supported by a grant from the
Illinois Arts Council, a state agency. Parkland is a section 504/ADA-compliant
institution. For accommodation, call 217/351-2505.
