“Insomnia” displays students’ search for sleep

Jonathan Ehrenberg, an instructor in the Fine Arts Department, curated an exhibition in the Peter Fingesten Gallery titled Insomnia. The show is on display from Nov. 3-24. The description for the exhibit discussed insomniacs' search for sleep at night and how in the process, they enter a sort of unexplainable dream realm. Ehrenberg mentions that insomnia forms a "tension between the known and the unknowable."

The works on display were from artists Jessica Dickinson, Lui Shtini, Joshua Abelow, Kevin Ford, Matt Ducklo, Oliver Michaels, Sean McCarthy, Darina Karpov, Vera Iliatova, Andrea Dezso, Julia Brown, Melissa Brown, Jonathan Ehrenberg, Dana Frankfort, Chie Fueki, Jackie Gendel, Laura Kim, Christopher Patch, Maria Rapoport and Craig Taylor. In the middle of the exhibit stood a clothed mannequin upside-down with his head in a bag of tennis balls. The art varies from paintings, sketches, photography, and the installation.
