In the Press

There are a few names worth watching, most notably photographer and mixed-media artist Aram Asarian. The small alcove connected to the Pinkard Gallery holds “Alteration of Plants,”a tiny showcase of Asarian’s work with living plants, hemmed in occasionally smashed sinister-looking geometric constructions of metal and glass. These works deserve a look.

Something new on our radar this month is the collision of art and botany at the Maryland Institute College of Art. To those of us who boast a green thumb, putting stakes around a tomato plant or training a vine up a trellis is nothing new, but what if a work of art could change the way your garden grows? MICA’s Pinkard Gallery presents a show by student Aram Asarian entitled Alteration of Plants, an exhibition of the sculptures that alter plant growth.
