The University of Hawai'i Art Gallery kicks off the fall 2007 semester with "Island to Island: A Collaboration Between Three International Universities."

Nearly 50 artists from the University of Hawai'i, the Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, and the University of Tasmania Launceston are participating in this international cultural exchange that takes place during the University of Hawaii’s commemorative centennial year. The artists explored the similarities and differences of contemporary island life, and societal and personal issues.

In addition to considering the theme of the exhibition for their artwork, the artists had the challenge of creating a piece that fit in a cardboard box approximately 17 x 12 x 5.5 inches. Some of the artists created works close to this size, but others created modular works or installations that require larger spaces.

A range of paintings, sculptures, photographs, prints, installations, ceramics, and new media comprise this introspective exhibition.

This traveling exhibition was shown earlier this year in Tasmania and Penang.
