“MISHAP contained” is an exhibition with an opening reception on Friday, October 23 from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. in the Peter A. and Mary Lou Vogt Gallery located in the Andrew L. Bouwhuis Library.
“MISHAP contained,” new paintings and prints by Sara M. Zak, quietly examines the tragedy of military training deaths or, as referred to in a 1994 government study, “mis-haps.” There are, on average, 230 reported military training exercise deaths a year. The installation at Canisius deals solely with F-111 aviation deaths occurring between 1967 and 1994; of the 115 airmen to die in the F-111, 94 of them perished in training exercises.
Zak’s paintings explore the shifting nature of time, place, concept, actuality and paint. She juxtaposes unrelated moments in time while showing a dichotomy between a planned concept and an actual existence. With these subtle landscape works, she explores the triviality and the monumentality of the accidental.
