The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) Art Gallery's first exhibition of 2010 will be Leftovers: Spaces, Materials, People. The exhibition will be on display Jan. 21 through Feb. 6. An opening reception will take place on Thursday, Jan. 21, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Leftovers: Spaces, Materials, People is curated by Wes Janz, Ph.D, Professor of Architecture at Ball State University. The exhibition is part of onesmallproject, which was inspired by living conditions in the working class neighborhoods of Bangkok, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Colombo, Delhi, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Los Angeles, Mumbai, New Orleans, St. Petersburg, and Singapore. It addresses the one billion leftover people - typically called squatters, self-builders, slum dwellers, informal settlers, or displaced persons - who claim leftover spaces in cities and live in unauthorized dwellings made of scavenged, leftover materials.
