Multimedia Art Show in Romano Gallery

Art by Amy Hufnagel is now on display through December 2 in the Romano Gallery of Armstrong-Hipkins Center for the Arts; an artist’s reception was held on November 9.

Hufnagel explains that she “makes multimedia art about the things that confuse her.” Such topics include telecommunications, technological reliance, illness and the body, and landscape degradation. She employs photography, painting, sewing, drawing, mono-print processes, and text to build visual sentences. This Frelinghuysen artist’s experiences in Malaysia influence her latest body of work.

Chris Funkhouser performed a set of poems from Malaysia at the reception. His poetry uses video, soundtracks, hypertext and performance to expand the meaning of the written word. Funkhouser, who notes that cyberpoetics is a growing literary field, is a full professor at New Jersey Institute of Technology. He has just returned from completing a Fulbright Fellowship where he developed work that can be viewed online at http://web.njit.edu/~funkhous/13states.

The Romano Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; other hours by appointment. For more information on this exhibit, please call (908) 362-6121.
