Art Auction: November 21

The work above is a mixed media sculpture by Siyoung Rhie, an MFA candidate 2004. It is part of the MFA 2nd Year Exhibit which has been rescheduled to begin November 17 and runs through November 28 at Meyerson Gallery. The MFA Benefit Auction will start at 7 p.m., not 5 p.m. as stated in the November AT PENN.

There will be a Benefit Auction highlighting artwork of the School of Design&'s 21 MFA candidates on November 21 from 7 until 10 p.m. in Meyerson Gallery. These works will be featured in an exhibit there November 17--28 in Meyerson Gallery.

Original artwork will be for sale and the proceeds go toward the MFA Class of 2004 Thesis Fund. Over 50 works of art will be available for purchase some starting at an estimated value of $50. In addition to artwork, tickets will be auctioned for Walnut Theatre, facials and hair care from Philadelphia salons, and dinner at the city&'s finest restaurants and hotel packages.

Among the 50 or more works up for auction, Helen Chuang&'s drawings reveal landscapes composed of organic floral and fauna anomalies, referencing her research in the Australian outback. The works from Pauline Halper and Jeremy Vaughn contrast near-human forms with both eccentric fantasylands and ornate nightmares.

Text coexists with images in the works of Demetrius Oliver, Jacqui Lantigua, and Ernel Martinez, exploring the effects of popular culture on social histories and vice versa. The compositions of Sean Riley, Lysa Janssen and David Southwick evoke a pixilated navigation of 21st Century consciousness.

There will be a free preview from 3-5 p.m. for Penn faculty and staff, where absentee bids will be accepted. The auction is from 7-8 p.m., followed by the reception/cocktail party from 8-10 p.m. featuring live music. The exhibition and benefit auction are open to the public. Admission is $5 and includes entrance to the auction and cocktail party.
