"MFA Thesis Exhibition 1999." Nine graduating students in the Visual Arts division of the Graduate School of the Arts will show their recent work, including paintings, drawings, photographs, sculpture, video and installations. The group of young artists includes Monique Andre Aiuto, Matthew Brannon, Timothy Gardner, Ian Jehle, Sissel Kardel, Victoria Kostadinova, Katherine McVety, Gregory Mahoney and Kiki Seror. Thelma Golden, special projects curator for the Peter Norton Family Foundation and former curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, serves as curator for the exhibit. Commenting on the wide diversity of art-making practices represented in the exhibition, Golden says, "It would be artificial to try to attach a theme to all that is presented here, but there are some interesting points of connection." The exhibit remains on view through June 5, 1999. Gallery hours are Wed.-Sat., 1:00-5:00 P.M. Admission is free. Wallach Art Gallery, 8th Floor, Schermerhorn.
"Infinite Riches in a Little Room: The Collections of the Rare Book and Manuscript Library (RBML)." Drawn from the library's rich bibliographic and historical resources, this exhibit will be on view in a rotating display through Oct. 29, 1999, at the Kempner Exhibition Room of the RBML, 6th Floor, Butler Library. Less a traditional "treasures" show than a kaleidoscopic view of the kind of primary resources a leading research library offers to the global community, the exhibit contains the curators' choice of books, manuscripts, maps and archival materials that illustrate the themes and formats represented in the collections. Each display case is dedicated to items in one of the 20 collections in the library. The Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts case focuses on the philosopher Boethius, author of one of the most popular texts of the middle ages, The Consolation of Philosophy, which was written while Boethius was imprisoned, just before he was tortured and put to death. Other cases feature artists' books; materials surrounding the publication of James Joyce's Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. A case on early writing surfaces displays a Babylonian document relating to the adoption of a female slave written in cuneiform four thousand years ago and a letter on papyrus written to a Greek businessman in 257 B.C. The exhibit may be viewed Monday, Noon-7:45 p.m. and Tuesday-Friday, 9:00 a.m.-4:45 p.m.
The department of Intercollegiate Athletics presents an exhibition of photographs entitled "Columbia University Athletics through the Lens of Arthur Frank." The collection comprises 44 black and white photographs of the University athletic program, 36 of which have never previously been shown. The photographs depict various teams in action and at practice, as well as show other sports-related campus activities. The exhibit is, among other things, an homage to past and present Columbia athletes. Frank, a practicing lawyer and a 1956 alumnus of Columbia College, has shown his work at galleries in New York, Denver and Cheyenne, Wyoming, and has photographs in the permanent collection of the NYC Fire Department Museum, as well as a number of corporate, private and other public collections. His photos have won awards at the Salmagundi Club's annual juried exhibition and in the 1998 Maine Photography Workshop's Ernst Hass competition. The exhibition can be seen between 9:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Monday-Friday. Low Rotunda.
