Puzzle Project

Pollak Gallery

We invite you to be part of the Monmouth University Puzzle Project, a collaborative group art exhibition. Participants purchase a 24″ x 24″ universal puzzle piece and then turn it into a unique work of art. When the piece is complete it is inserted into the puzzle, which will continue to grow over time on the walls of the Pollak Gallery. The University’s puzzle will eventually be added to over 5,000 other pieces for an exhibition in New York City. This project is co-sponsored by the Student Activities Board and the Center for the Arts.

The Puzzle Installation & Collaborative Project is a growing & traveling, group art exhibition. It was initially sponsored by the Monmouth County Arts Council and was created and developed by the artists Tim Kelly & Sandy Taylor (MCAC) and Marie Maber (Brookdale Community College) for the 2009 Teen Arts Festival at Brookdale. Click here for more information about the project.

To purchase a puzzle piece please come to the Pollak Theatre Box Office or email at SAB@monmouth.edu.

MONMOUTH UNIVERSITY PRESENTS:

This exhibit is a selection from Monmouth University’s extensive collection of Jacob Landau’s work. Each line of these images reveal an aspect of our humanity and affirms our inviolable individuality. He places the human at the center of our world because it is the individual who suffers and, at the same time, who envisions a world without suffering, so that it can be created. And in this act every human is an artist.

Open to public & docent tours available.
