CANTON  — St. Lawrence University’s Richard F. Brush Art Gallery will present two street art exhibitions from March 3 to April 18.

The large gallery will feature an exhibition, titled “Re-Writing the Streets: The International Language of Stickers” co-curated by Gallery Director Cathy Tedford and Oliver Baudach, while the hallway gallery will feature “Post-9/11 to Occupy Wall Street to Present Day: A Street Art Installation” by Margaret Chandler ’17.

Chandler, a St. Lawrence senior from Dorset, Vermont, who is majoring in global studies, will lead a gallery discussion in conjunction with the street art exhibition “Post-9/11 to Occupy Wall Street to Present Day” on Tuesday, March 14 at 4:30 p.m. at the Brush Art Gallery.

This event is free and open to the public.

The gallery discussion with Dave and Holly Combs, co-authors of “PEEL: The Art of the Sticker” originally scheduled for Wednesday, March 8, has been cancelled.

Chandler recounts that her interest in street art has spanned her entire St. Lawrence experience. “I’ve been studying street art since before St. Lawrence,” she says. “I have also been working with Cathy Tedford, director of the Brush Gallery, on stickers over the past two years. During my junior fall, I took a studio class with her focusing on stickers and street art, where I was able to learn more about sticker culture through her and her research.”

It was through that experience that compelled Chandler to pursue an independent study with Tedford that will be featured in this exhibition. “Together, we have collected between 60 to 70 different articles that focus on the post-9/11 Bush administration through Occupy Wall Street,” Chandler says. “Now we are trying to find stickers from the Women’s March and other blossoming movements that have emerged following Trump’s inauguration.”

Tedford adds that street art of various media, including stickers, posters, fliers, and other paper ephemera, are featured within Meg’s exhibition. The street art represents a wide and diverse array of political viewpoints and social issues, the subtleness in which the message is conveyed also varies.

The stickers in this exhibition ultimately create a timeline from 2006 to the present. “The exhibition demonstrates how stickers have been used in the United States throughout various social movements,” Meg says. “Through stickers you can hear the different voices within these movements, what people are actually struggling with, what people are facing… it is different from what the media portrays and what you read in the newspaper.”

The Richard F. Brush Art Gallery is free and open to the public from Monday to Thursday noon to 8 p.m., and Friday to Saturday from noon to 5 p.m.
