"ABANDON"

Artist Tony Matelli has taken a unique stance in the exploration of nature versus culture by recreating familiar weeds-the rebellious sort that "sprout like elegant anger on the concrete sweep of urban America"-in an exhibit that captures how these often unwanted plants reflect the social quest for beauty and control. "ABANDON" is on display through March 10 in the Lightwell Gallery adjacent to the main UB Art Gallery in the Center for the Arts, North Campus. Gallery hours are Wed. through Sat. from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sun. from noon to 5 p.m.

"Fakeye"

Eminent Yoruban artist Lamidi O. Fakeye is widely acknowledged as the finest traditional wordcarver in Nigeria. As part of the Department of African American Studies' ongoing celebration of its 30th anniversary, Fakeye's work is on display in the UB Art Gallery through Nov. 18. While his complex, highly detailed work is rooted in the traditional Yoruban system of apprenticeship, it also is informed by his studies in the conventional European canon. Gallery hours are Wed. through Sat. from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sun. from noon to 5 p.m.

"Still 1999: New and Past Work"

The radical work of three architects trained at the distinguished Cranbrook Academy by Daniel Libeskind (who designed the controversial Jewish Museum in Berlin) and D. Hoffman, who have themselves emerged as leading contemporary architects is on display in the Dyett Gallery on the third floor of Hayes Hall in the School of Architecture and Planning through Dec. 11. The exhibiters are Frank Fantauzzi, UB associate professor of architecture ; Terence Van Elslander, a Toronto architect who is also on the architecture faculty of the University of Toronto, and James Keyden Cathcart, an architect with the New York firm of Ralph Appelbaum Assoc., which designed the exhibitions for the Holocaust Museum in Washington. As part of the exhibit, the three developed a permanent "installation" that has produced a radical new sense of space within the gallery itself. They cut a very large rectangular piece out of the gallery wall above the door and rotated it 90 degrees within its original space. The resulting vertical plane extends into and out of the gallery. This visual extension of the space links the gallery with the rest of the third floor of Hayes Hall, altering and complicating the visitor's perception of the environment. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon. through Fri.

"New Artists: Undergraduate Works at UB"

The work of undergraduates in the Department of Art will be on display Nov. 19 through Dec. 10 in the Art Department Gallery on the lower level of the Center for the Arts. Gallery hours are Tues. from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wed. through Fri. from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sat. from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call the Department of Art, 645-6878, ext. 1350
