a series of transparencies and interactive media from deep space captured by
the Hubble Space Telescope while orbiting the earth over the past 16
years. The exhibit will be on
display from August 27 to December 14. The grand opening event, "An Evening
with the Stars," will be held September 7. Matthew Bobrowsky, an astronomer at

of Maryland's University College, will give the opening address.

KINETIC GALLERY:Paul Dodd is a Rochester-area artist who has worked
as a graphic artist for the Crime Analysis Unit of the Rochester Police
Department, where he was responsible for handling mugshots. During his time
spent in this unit, he became "infatuated with the range of expressions –
the nonverbal communication of emotions – and the reactions that we have
in looking at these point blank head shots." As a student of Fritz Lipp at the
Creative Workshop at the Memorial Art Gallery, Dodd's use of non-traditional
subject matter in his work makes his work particularly thought-provoking,
pressing the viewer to wonder about the full nature of the individual staring
out from the canvas. It's no wonder Dodd finds that "these photos of members of
our community are as interesting as classical portraits". Dodd will display his
work at 7 p.m. The exhibit is free
and open to the public.
