Jelena Berenc: marking a life

10/12/2009 The University of Wisconsin – Parkside is pleased to announce the “Jelena Berenc: marking a life” conceptual art exhibit on display from October 26th through November 26th. Jelena Berenc received her MFA in Painting and Drawing from the Art Institute of Chicago.  She describes her current portfolio as a study and documentation of existence.  “My artwork is based on durational, repetitional, excessive and endurance drawings.  This somewhat compulsive obsessiveness of excessive drawing of quantities or gestures becomes a document of time and the drawing’s creation; it becomes a document of experience itself.” Please join us for the opening reception, Monday, October 26th from 5-7pm in the Communication Arts Gallery.  Admission is free.  Please see the Art Department website for more information (www.uwp.edu/departments/art/).
