The University of Lethbridge gets a lot quieter in May and so do the exhibits in the university’s art gallery.
‘In the Stillness,’ which opened May 7, features a variety of sculptures from  the gallery’s collection.
“I wanted to have more sculptures for this exhibition because we haven’t had  any for a while,” said exhibition curator Jane Edmundson.
“I wanted  to put pieces that you have to spend a lot of time with,” she said adding the pieces, while unusual, are a lot more sedate than some of the art often on display at the gallery.
“It’s a very calm, quiet atmosphere,” she continued adding all of the pieces were carefully chosen
“Some of the colours were really too bright or they looked too much like something,” she said adding the cornerstone  piece is one of several pop artist Robert Rauschenberg’s pieces — a viola in a metal muck -bucket— called ‘Tibetan Garden Song.’
“He’s more known for being a pop artist. We have a couple of his pieces in the collection. We’ve had this one in the ’90s and it was shown a lot then but it hasn’t been  shown for about 10 years now,” she said.
 The exhibition runs from May 7-Sept. 10 in the main gallery at the University of Lethbridge.
