T he Museum of Art proudly announces the exhibition, Terry Slade: Dreams and Apparitions, opening with a reception on April 16. The centerpiece of the show is the installation titled Mantra for the Survival of the Earth, com- missioned specifically for the Edward Wales Root Sculpture Court. Mantra is an ex- traordinary mobile sculpture composed of 365 richly colored fused-glass disks and measuring 14 feet in diameter. Museum visitors may view the sculpture from multi- ple levels under varying conditions of natural light, which promises to create an ex- perience of immeasurable beauty. The exhibition continues in Gallery One South with drawings and smaller glass sculptures by Slade. With Mantra for the Survival of the Earth, Slade explains, “The circles are made of glass, a beautiful yet fragile material that reflects, refracts, and re- constitutes light. The glass is used to emphasize the fragility of our existence on the third planet from the sun. For millions of years the earth has rotated on its axis every 24 hours while orbiting our sun at 64,000 miles per hour, com- pleting one solar year every 365 days. We are suspended in the vacuum of space at a nearly constant distance of 93 million miles from the sun, which is our only source of light.” Terry L. H. Slade is Chair of the Depart- ment of Art and Art History at Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York, where he has been Professor of Art and Sculptor in Residence since 1983. Slade has had more than 100 solo-artist exhibitions throughout the United States and residencies and exhibitions in Great Britain, Italy, France, Spain, and Japan. Slade’s work is rep- resented in private and public collections in the United States, Japan, and Europe. A reception in the Edward W. Root Sculpture Court is set to honor Terry Slade in conjunction with artists in the exhibition Elemental.
