This is an all-media, annual juried group exhibition of undergraduate students at the University of Missouri hosted by the George Caleb Bingham Gallery. The juror for this exhibition will be Dr. Kurt Rahmlow. Professor Emeritus Jerry Berneche and his wife provided the monetary awards.

Kurt Rahmlow is assistant teaching professor of Modern and Contemporary Art at the University of Missouri. He specializes in nineteenth- and twentieth-century art of Europe and America, as well as in aesthetics and critical theory. His primary research interests include avant-garde artists' communities in Europe, particularly in France, and avant-garde approaches to decorative art. His intellectual interests also include the history of automotive design and representations of automobiles and "car culture" in Modern and Contemporary Art. Dr. Rahmlow received his Ph.D. in art history from the University of Iowa in 2008. His doctoral dissertation, “Anterior Decorators: Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Avant-Garde Environments at Arles and Le Pouldu,” details the terms in which two artists envisioned ideal artists’ communities and interprets the decorative ensembles that they created to house, encourage, and instruct those groups. In addition to surveys of pre- and post-war visual culture, Dr. Rahmlow has designed more focused courses on Symbolist Art in Europe, 1870-1920; Modern Sculpture; and Earthworks and Environmental Art. He has presented his research at the annual meetings of the Society for Utopian Studies and the College Art Association.

Closing Reception and Awards Ceremony will be held on
Thursday, February 26, 2009, from 4:00-6:00 pm.

Both the exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
