Whitewall | thirsty while drowning: Cole Sternberg Floods Villanova University with Art

Pearl Fontaine, Whitewall, 2022年12月12日

"Cole Sternberg’s “thirsty while drowning” is currently on view through January 18, 2023 at the University Art Collection and Gallery at Villanova University. The campus-wide exhibition by the artist and Villanova alum transforms the campus and gallery with thought-provoking works that, while entrancingly beautiful, scream out the impending consequences that we face at the hand of climate change.

 

“There's something special about the Villanova alumni network it really is a continuation of the community that I feel a part of every day. So to have such a renowned artist return to campus was a no-brainer,” said Jennie Castillo, the Curator of the University Art Collection and Gallery Director at Villanova University.

 

Sternberg’s objective with the exhibition was to activate the minds of the student body, engaging with them in far more intriguing ways than just canvases on the walls of a gallery."
