About the Exhibition

Returning to Providence College after nearly a decade, PC alum (‘07) and New York artist Will Hutnick transforms Hunt-Cavanagh Gallery to present But We’re Getting Off the Subject, an immersive installation that celebrates color and the playful re-use of materials and abstractly personal histories. The installation features a series of interconnected wall drawings and mobile-like sculptures made up of his signature scrap paintings—bits of tape and overspray that have been stripped from his studio walls and carefully arranged on paper and clear mylar.
