Current Exhibition

Connectivity Art Show

'Connectivity'

Joe Batt
Nov. 10-Dec. 5

The Alexander Gallery presents "Connectivity," a solo exhibition of work by artist Joe Batt.
This exhibition runs Nov. 10-Dec. 5. A reception will be held Tuesday,
Nov. 18, noon- 1 p.m. and Batt will speak about his work at 12:30 p.m.

In "Connectivity," figurative ceramic sculpture and mixed media drawings are used
to create an installation that explores the link between human relationships and digital technology. This
work utilizes a child-like lens to create narrative that invites the viewer to think critically about our
growing digital consumption and what it means to connect with others through it.

Batt is a full-time art instructor at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, Wash. His work has been
supported by the Northern Clay Center, Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts and the Red Lodge Clay
Center.

For further information about this exhibition, contact Kate Simmons at 503-594-3032 or
kates@clackamas.edu. The Alexander Gallery is located in the Niemeyer Center at Clackamas
Community College. The gallery is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. with the exception
of campus holidays. Admission is free.
