Carnegie Mellon and the Regina Gouger Miller Gallery Host 2005 Senior Exhibition "Spectacular! Spectacular!"

PITTSBURGH-—he Regina Gouger Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University presents the 2005 Senior Exhibition "Spectacular! Spectacular!," which will begin Friday, April 29, and have an opening reception 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Friday, May 6. The reception is free and open to the public.

"Spectacular! Spectacular!" contains a wide variety of work from 50 graduating students, including drawing, painting, sculpture, video, projections, performance and multimedia work. Students selected the title in reference to both the number and power of artworks in the show. Susanne Slavick, head of the School of Art, said, "These emerging artists have sought and delivered the spectacular, both deliberately and accidentally, sometimes as quiet epiphanies and sometimes as splashy spectacles, making art that matters with enviable energy."

"Spectacular! Spectacular!" runs April 29 - May 15, 2005. Gallery hours are 11:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. The Regina Gouger Miller Gallery is located in the Purnell Center for the Arts on the Carnegie Mellon campus. Parking is available in the East Campus Parking Garage, which is free on weekends. The Morewood Parking Lot is also free on weekends.

The School of Art is one of five schools within Carnegie Mellon's College of Fine Arts. The College of Fine Arts is a community of nationally and internationally recognized artists and professionals organized into five schools: Architecture, Art, Design, Drama and Music, and associated centers and programs.
