Obscurities, the new art exhibit at Goucher College, features works that describe a departure from form, place, communication, or identity; captures the mystery and anxiety therein; and invites the viewer to peer closely and discover the obscure.

The 17 artists — Christopher Attenborough, Lauren Brick, Karl Connolly, Eric Dyer, Mark Eisendrath, Michael Farley, Kyle Freeman, Leslie Furlong, Alexander Heilner, Justin Kelly, Joanna Kopczyk, Nate Larson, Andrew Laumann, Michael Northrup, Kelly Shaw, Marni Shindelman, and Stewart Watson — all were nominated for the 2011 Baker Artist Awards, which support the Baltimore region’s artists and promote the city’s rich cultural offerings.

The exhibit, which is free and open to the public, runs in the Silber and Rosenberg galleries on Goucher’s campus from Tuesday, August 30, to Sunday, October 16. The art can be viewed Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. An artists’ reception will be held Thursday, September 22, 6-8 p.m. Call 410-337-6477 or visit www.goucher.edu/silber for more information.
