The University of Akron’s Mary Schiller Myers School of Art announces a major show in the Emily Davis Gallery titled “Man and Beast, Part II of Regional Collections,” from April 4 to April 27, 2005. Curated by Art Professor Mark Soppeland, the exhibition examines the relationships between humans and animals, and raises questions about the distinctions and definitions of arts, crafts, commodities and artifacts. An opening reception on April 4th from 4:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the Gallery is free and open to the public.
The “Man and Beast” exhibition presents a historically and culturally diverse range of attitudes in the use of animal imagery in art, craft, and design, and encompasses a wide range of related fields including industrial design, fashion and furniture design.
