Art Down

It felt strange seeing all of the paintings and drawings from the exhibition Nzambi (God) down off the walls at the Italian Academy this week. Columbia had requested that the show stay around another month after the festival ended in June so more people on campus could see it. I went to the gallery and removed the paintings, took off the hardware, pulled off the wall labels. The room felt so lonely. The director of the Italian Academy, Rick Whitaker, told me that he already missed the works. 

I stacked them together, jigsaw-puzzle-like and took a photo. They are off to a new destination. Where? We're not quite ready to say. But we're excited about it. Stay tuned.
