Veronique Roux Art Show March 31-April 6 Posted: March 31, 2008 What's the Point?, which opens March 31 and runs through April 6 in Williston Library, is an exhibition with an unusual ambition: MHC language fellow Veronique Roux wants her work to talk to an audience interested in photography, French, studio art, philosophy, and art history.
Presenting both photographs and French word games, Roux has combined into one exhibition two shows that she presented in France. The series of photographs, titled Vanities, has strong references to seventeenth-century Dutch paintings and tackles subjects such as life, loss, time and death. French word games offer possible clues in reading the images. Both the photographs and word games question the meaning and the purpose of life. Roux, who was born and raised in France, received a master's degree in psychology in 1998. After years of practice, she quit and started to explore photography as a way to convey questions and thoughts. While at MHC for the 2007-2008 year, she has taken photography classes with Kane Stewart and Jean Marie Casbarian at Hampshire College. Roux's next project will include a series of portraits of MHC women in all their diversity. She hopes to present her new work in May. She also has started a project about national identities and stereotypes, using more than 100 people with passports from all over the world. What's the Point? is free and open to the public.
