BABSON COLLEGE
Points of View. Hollister Gallery On display until January 21, 2011 Hours: Monday – Thursday 8:00 am-7:00
pm
Dana Clancy’s artwork is about the rituals
associated with traveling and looking, with
places that are specifically set up as viewing
spaces. The artist is interested in the way we use photography to remember and
communicate a visual experience. She only paints
places that she has experienced in person and works
from multiple photographs to create a complex
composite image whose geometric edges draw
attention to the touch of the artist and reference the
immersive sometimes overwhelming experience of
being in these particular environments.
The paintings on view at Babson are an expansion of
her series exploring people’s interaction with art and
architecture in museums. Clancy has used her finely
tuned sense of color and form to re-frame spaces

within the Guggenheim, MOMA, Tate, and Mass MOCA, to make paintings that speak to the
intensity and alteration of memory.
In “Points of View” she has made a new series of shaped paintings based on Anish Kapoor’s
sculpture Cloud Gate and the Renzo Piano addition to the Art Institute of Chicago. Taking
her geometric perspective explorations into three dimensions through the use of
architectural model board as a painting surface allows Clancy to create intimate sculptural
paintings whose lines, shapes, and silver surfaces change as the viewer moves.
Dana Clancy is a painter and assistant professor at Boston University's School of Visual Arts.
She received a BA in English Literature from Vassar College and an MFA in Painting from
Boston University.
Ms. Clancy has exhibited her work in solo exhibitions at Boston University, the Danforth Museum of Art, the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, and Laconia Gallery in Boston's South End. She has been included in group exhibitions nationally, including Delta Axis at Marshall Arts, Memphis, and Bowery Gallery, New York.

Irena Salina's award-winning documentary investigation into
what experts label the most important political and
environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water
Crisis.
Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the

Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the
global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits
behind the water grab, while begging the question "CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?"
Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions
providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are
fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.

The Power of Positive Deviance: How Unlikely Innovators Solve the World’s Toughest Problems. 5pm. Olin 120
Globally, private and public institutions spend $50 billion annually on change efforts, yet 70 percent of these efforts fail. How do you even begin to find solutions?
Positive Deviance is based on the observation that in every community there are certain individuals or groups whose uncommon
behaviors and strategies enable them to find better solutions to problems than their peers, while having access to the same resources and facing similar or worse challenges. Positive deviants see solutions where others don't. And they're the key to spreading and sustaining needed change.
Monique Sternin co- founder of The Positive Deviance Approach and Randa Wilkinson, lead trainer of Positive Deviance from the Positive Deviance Initiative at Tufts University will share stories on how Positive Deviance has changed seemingly intractable
problems in multiple sectors. To learn more about Positive Deviance, visit: http://www.powerofpositivedeviance.com
