"Reticence," a mixed media installation by Andrew Connelly, lecturer in the School of Art, is one of more than 40 artworks on display in the "Joint Faculty Show: School of Art, School of Architecture and Department of Art History and Archaeology." The exhibition opens Nov. 6 in the Gallery of Art and will remain on view through Dec. 9.

Those who teach, to correct a popular misimpression, most decidedly can do. Case in point: Washington University's "Joint Faculty Exhibition," which opens next month at the Gallery of Art. The exhibit will showcase the work of more than 30 faculty from the schools of Art and Architecture and the Department of Art History and Archaeology in Arts and Sciences. The exhibit opens with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 6 and remains on view through Dec. 9. It features more than 40 works of art in a variety of media, ranging from painting and sculpture to illustration and photography to architectural drawings and models. Also included are fashion designs, ceramics and site-specific installation art. The exhibition marks the first outing for curator Amanda Beresford, who joined the gallery's staff in early October. A native of Australia, Beresford comes to the University from the Cecil Higgins Gallery in Bedford, England, where she served as director, and from the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
