SAVANNAH, Ga. - The Savannah College of Art and Design presents three new exhibitions-a group exhibition featuring the work of SCAD painting seniors, a group exhibition featuring the work of the university's painting alumni and a solo exhibition that features the work of visual artist Victoria Fu. All three exhibitions highlight SCAD's dynamic painting department by showcasing the diverse work of students, alumni and the painting department's visiting artist at SCAD-Lacoste for Winter 2009.

Victoria Fu's "The Afterlife of Memory" will be on display April 2-29 at the Hall Street Gallery, 212 W. Hall St. The opening reception will be April 2, 6-8 p.m. at the gallery. The exhibition explores Fu's interest in fictional histories and false nostalgia with new LCD videos imbedded in large locket-like sculptural works. In addition to being SCAD-Lacoste's visiting artist, Fu was a 2006 participant in the Whitney Independent Study Program and at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.

The "2009 Senior B.F.A. Painting Exhibition," April 3-27 will be on display at Alexander Hall Gallery, 668 Indian St. This annual exhibition features work in a range of media by SCAD-Atlanta and SCAD-Savannah painting department seniors. These works explore traditional and contemporary methods of painting as well as new conceptual approaches. The exhibition and reception are in conjunction with the painting department's Open Studio Night, April 4, 5-8 p.m.

In honor of SCAD's 30th anniversary, the exhibitions department will host a painting alumni exhibition juried by members of the exhibitions department and current painting faculty, April 3-May 1 at the Pei Ling Chan Gallery, 322 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The exhibition will not only reflect on SCAD's outstanding alumni but also bring together an outstanding group of artists to exhibit new works that show their development over the course of their artistic careers.

All exhibitions are free and open to the public.
