<span style="font-size: large;">Conceptual artist Tim Schwartz is
known for blending old and new technologies, often studying the losses
that occur with digitization—and what are the effects of this loss? Mastering
the very system he often critiques, he uses digital methods that help us to
highlight gaps in the transfer of information. For this installation, Schwartz
used an algorithm to select nearly 600 volumes which form a portrait of book browsing
habits at DU. He has created a space for people to use as a traditional
library, while physically and digitally documenting their interactions with
books.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Please join Victoria H.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Installation artist Sandy Skoglund turns the familiar into
something strange and unknown through object placement, repetition and
coloration. Her installation focuses on the reuse and reinvention of books that
have been discarded. No longer do books sit idly on the shelves; they take on a
life of their own. While imbued with playfulness and energy, Skoglund’s
narratives convey a sense of uneasiness. The chaos of the scene opposes the
Dewey Decimal structure and quiet atmosphere we expect from our books and
libraries. She provokes the sensation one might feel upon entering a disrupted
library.</span><br />

Professor of Drawing at the University of Denver. Her work encompasses a variety of themes and
uses various materials to focus on the human presence. These materials might include a traditional
portrait done in oil, an abstract painting in encaustic, or any variety of
found objects. More recently, Professor
Howard has incorporated shoes into her work.
Symbolic of people through presence and absence, these forms become
sculptural investigations of the ephemeral.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Australia’s most talked about contemporary artist and a
figure of increasing international stature, Richard Bell describes himself as
“more an activist than an artist.” Didactic yet humorous, Bell’s vivid and
provocative paintings and videos signal an important and powerful voice in
contemporary art. This is the first mid-career survey in the U.S. of the work
of this important Aboriginal activist/artist.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Richard Bell uses a wide range of media including painting,
performance, and video to challenge western conceptions of what encompasses
“indigenous” or “folk” art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He utilizes

In early publications on this type of imagery, scholars assumed that images of the Bodhi Tree, Wheels, and Stupas conveyed symbolic representations of the Buddha’s presence. Instead, Dr. Huntington interprets these images as reflective of pilgrimages made by the laity to significant sites of early Buddhist worship. In her lecture, she exposed some of the Eurocentric preconceptions of early scholarship on Indian Art, and discussed the ways in which statues of the Buddha were imbued with reliquary power by the addition of scrolls and wooden backbones. </span></span></div>Jesse Lairdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13521354309890918266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266905664433680643.post-37833865429612466612012-04-19T13:02:00.001-07:002012-04-25T09:55:48.220-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As students spilled out of class, a crowd had already gathered for the opening of the School of Art and Art History's Faculty Triennial. There was a great mix of excited students, experienced artists and dedicated art lovers - snacking and imbibing as they perused the incredible offerings of DU's faculty. A scan of the room quickly reveals the skill, creativity, and unique perspective of the instructors. This inspiring show was deftly curated and designed by Dan Jacobs and his gallery staff, grad students Anna Estes and Nessa Kerr. Students do not grow without the knowledge and inspiration of their teacher, so it is a great opportunity to celebrate the art of these important motivators. </span>Jesse Lairdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13521354309890918266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266905664433680643.post-39066995719032359002012-02-02T11:41:00.000-08:002012-02-09T17:29:31.043-08:00Marsico Visiting Artist Toni Mosely's Workshop: Creating Prints with DU Students<h1 align="left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br />

Catherine Chauvin's "Experiences in the Visual Arts" class helped her mix ink. It was a typical snowy Wednesday in Denver, the perfect day for the Workshop to start. First, the "Screen Print" class created rubbings all around the Shwayder Art Building. These became the base of several photo-screen prints which were used as the base of prints created by workshop participants. They then used the screens to print their own textures, layering hand cut stencils on top. Since the class used this method in their assignments, the preview of this tricky process helped immensely. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span">On Thursday, Susan Meyer brought in two drawing classes to participate in the</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">workshop. The first class had beginning students who used the textures and hand cut stencils to create their prints. Then, </span><span class="Apple-style-span">the intermediate class used a water based monotype process in order to have a</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">more drawing-based experience. The day flew by with many students stopping by from</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">2-D Foundations to Advanced Problems, all looking forward to making prints. </span><span class="Apple-style-span">By the time Catherine’s Experiences in the Visual Arts class met, they found all the </span><span class="Apple-style-span">ink they had mixed had been used! They decided to make a group piece – based on</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">an Exquisite Corpse and each of them printed an individual piece as well. All in all,</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">over 50 people participated in the workshop, all printing in one day. After that, Toni</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">was “a bit knackered” (exhausted) for her talk that evening – but it was well</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">attended and she shared with the students a different view of artmaking and maintaining</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">a studio practice wherever you go!</span></span><br />
