ONEONTA, N.Y. -- An exhibit entitled "Entanglements" featuring
recent paintings by Oneonta artist Madeline Silber will open in the New
Gallery in the Fine Arts Building of the SUNY College at Oneonta on February
4 and run through February 29. An artist's reception will be held at 5 p.m.
on Thursday, February 7. Admission to the gallery and the reception is
complimentary, and members of the community are invited to attend.
In her paintings, Madeline Silber says that she is "wrestling with the
predicament of trying to attain some sort of equilibrium within the
precariousness of our contemporary relationships." A color brochure with an
essay by Thomas Piché, Jr., will accompany her show at SUNY-Oneonta.
Madeline Silber has exhibited her paintings both nationally and
internationally in gallery and museum shows for the past 20 years. Most
recently, she had a solo exhibition of her paintings and prints at the
School of Art Gallery, Munson Williams Proctor Arts Institute, in Utica.
Recent group shows that featured Silber's work include the Mohawk Hudson
Regional Exhibition at the Albany Airport, the Roberson Regional at the
Roberson Museum in Binghamton, and the Former Fellows of the Fine Arts Work
Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts. In April, Silber's painting "Sway"
will be included in the 61st Exhibition of Central New York Artists at the
Munson Williams Proctor Institute.
Silber holds a bachelor's degree from Sarah Lawrence College and a
master's degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art. She has been
awarded artist's residencies at Yaddo, the Fine Arts Work Center in
Provincetown, and the Millay colony. She has also received three Special
Opportunity Stipends from the New York Foundation for the Arts. Silber has
taught art in several colleges and worked in museums and galleries.
Under the direction of Tim Sheesley, the SUNY-Oneonta art galleries are
open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. when the College is in
session. More information about the exhibit or the galleries is available
