Rommelt and her roommate Anna Brewer had an exhibit in Borland several weeks ago, but both said it didn't meet the stan dards for a proper art show. "We couldn't touch the walls in Borland, and the building had the most bizarre lighting and floor," Brewer (junior-arts and architec ture) said. "The point of the gallery is to be invisible so what ch aws attention is the work." On top of that, it's harder to generate a large gallery audience when exhibiting in a classroom See SHOWCASES.
