The 22nd annual Student Exhibition, presented by the Bell Gallery and the Department of Visual Art, is open to all Brown students. Past exhibitions have included works in a wide range of media, from painting to printmaking to video installations. Each student is allowed to submit two works for evaluation by the judges, and within 24 hours the judges select the works that will be exhibited.

This year the show includes works by: Megumi Aihara, Jonathan Allmaier, Thomas Beresford, Sarah Bernard, Amy Bilderbeck, Kern Bruce, Zachary David Culbreth, Caryn Davidson, Mark Domino, Alissa Faden, Lucas Foglia, Edrex Fontanilla, Brandon Gross, Christopher Gudas, Gudrun Gunther, Nicole Herschenhous, Loren Holland, Sibel Horada, Clare Johnson, Darren Jorgensen, A-mi Kim, Max Kuller, Joanne Leavy, Matt Lewkowicz, Polina Malikin, Philip Maysles, Sarah O'Dea, Andrea Parada, Nathaniel Pollard, Ann Rundquist, John J. Speicher, Vivian Tang, Jenna Wainwright, Maria Walker, and John Wiener.

"The exhibition provides the public with an opportunity to explore the formal and conceptual concerns that engage the student artists at Brown," said Vesela Sretenovic, curator at the Bell Gallery.

This year's jurors are Laurie Riccadonna and Julian LaVerdiere. Riccadonna, who lives and works in Jersey City, N.J., received her M.F.A. from Yale University and has taught painting at Pennsylvania State University and Brown. She currently teaches at several colleges in New Jersey and was recently awarded a New Jersey State Council on the Arts Fellowship in painting and two Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation fellowships. She has exhibited her work in both solo and group exhibitions in New York, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

LaVerdiere is a sculptor living and working in New York City. He also received an M.F.A. from Yale University. His elaborate projects explore the intersection of architecture, sculpture and design, as well as history, commerce and science. They include Memorial for the Dawn of the Communication Age, a glass-encased shipwreck that commemorates the failed attempt to lay telegraph cable beneath the Atlantic, and the recent Towers of Light, a temporary monument made of light that was inspired by the attacks on the World Trade Center. LaVerdiere's work has been shown at Exit Art and Matthew Marks Gallery in New York, at Switzerland's Geneva Biennial and at Miami's Museum of Contemporary Art.
