Class Note 2011
Issue
Jan - Feb 2016
Hey there, ’11s. As I write this, I’m eagerly awaiting the Dartmouth-Harvard football game here in the Boston area in just a few days. Of course, when you read this, that game will be many weeks in the past, but whatever the outcome it sounds as though we have quite the Dartmouth fan base that will be bringing the noise (and weather permitting, the funk) to the stadium this Friday.
Now onto the updates. Ron Chavarria, an artist who goes by Logan De La Cruz, is based in New York City and working as a studio assistant at Jeff Koons Studio while he builds his own career. A painting from his “Long Live McQueen” series, which debuted in the Jaffe-Friede Gallery in a 2012 show, is now featured in an exhibition called “Power of Ruins” at the Palazzo Altemps in Rome. The show opened in October and runs through January. So get to Rome already and check out the painting! (Seriously, though, big congrats to Logan on his success!)
Speaking of art, Abigail Holden opened a new gallery in October in Boston featuring rotating monthly exhibitions. “Abigail Ogilvy Gallery is a contemporary art gallery showing early-career, emerging artists,” Abigail writes. “The artwork will include painting, sculpture and mixed-media pieces in a variety of styles and techniques.” Added bonus: Another classmate, Natalia Wrobel, is showing her work at the gallery in April. Learn more about Abigail’s gallery at www.abigailogilvy.com and Natalia’s work at nataliaswrobel.com. Triple bonus: The chair of Dartmouth’s studio art department, Soo “Sunny” Young Park, will have a solo exhibition in the gallery in June. Way to go, Ab and Natalia!
Some exciting news from Jennifer Shin: After living in New York since graduation, she’s off to Paris. She most recently worked in business development at MakerBot, a 3-D printing company, and will be working at an augmented reality startup in Paris. She says she’s looking forward to catching up with other alums in the area.
Finally, thanks to a group text thread, I’m catching up right now with Lia Grigg and Eric Durell, who both started business school this fall. Lia is at Yale School of Management, Eric is at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and both are off to great starts.
That’s it for this round of updates. Please be sure to send updates big and small my way, and cheers to the new year!
