Artists and Exhibitions

A female-presenting person who is reaching towards the viewer, with their hand partially obscuring their face. The image is very pixelated, consisting of geometric shapes rather than a clear image. The image becomes more unintelligible the closer the viewer gets to it. The image is white and green, the same colors found throughout the Union Website.

"Disconnections" - Video Exhibition by Claudia Krogmeier

From the artist: Claudia Krogmeier explores the veil between the physical and the psychological. In her work, she aims to disorient viewers within cycles and fragments of the interior self. Disconnections experiments with the disintegration of human communication and invites viewers to consider what defines a social glitch.

Disconnections will be open in Gallery 1308 at Union South from November 14th, 2025 through January 16th of 2026. Galleries are open from 8am - 10pm, Monday through Sunday. (with the exception of holiday/winter closures)

A mixed media collage by Jason Ruhl from the exhibition "The Mind Plays Tricks on You, You Play Tricks Back". It mainly consists of neutral colors, with some portions of blue, and smaller portions of red and orange. The shape is geometric, yet irregular, with varied geometric shapes and thin lines protruding from the main form.

COMING SOON: "The Mind Plays Tricks on You, You Play Tricks Back - Exhibition by Jason Ruhl

From the Artist: Since first encountering Jean Arp's Untitled (Collage with Squares Arranged according to the Law of Chance) in an Art History class in the late 90s, I have been captivated by the notion of serendipity. This fascination has evolved into an exploration of the balance between chance and intention in my work. At what point does this embrace of randomness shift from unique inspiration to a tired cliché? This question Pushes me to navigate the fine line between spontaneity and predictability. Each piece becomes a conversation between the unexpected and the meticulously fabricated. If I am not in complete control of the creative process, does that undermine the authenticity of the work? Or does it open doors to possibilities that I could never have anticipated

An opening reception will be held at the Class of 1925 Gallery on the Second Floor of Memorial Union on November 21st from 5:30-7:00pm. Light refreshments will be provided!

A mixed media work by Russ White. A masculine figure is crawling out of a yellow-gold square. The figure's torso and right arm is photorealistic, their right leg is only outlined, and their left leg, left arm, and face are abstracted in red and green scribbles and shapes.

COMING SOON: "Somebodies" - Mixed Media Works by Russ White

From the artist: Russ White’s work consists of large scale, mixed media portraits and figure studies, combining colored pencil, acrylic, charcoal, and pastel. Some sections are laboriously rendered bits of colored pencil photorealism—a very meditative process—while others are scribbled or painted quickly and freely, dissolving these bodies into some abstraction.

An opening reception will be held at Main Gallery on the Second Floor of Memorial Union on November 21st from 5:30-7:00pm. Light refreshments will be provided!
