ARTWEEK 2.0 

The Art and Art History Department is pleased to present ARTWEEK — October 25-28, 2010!

ARTWEEK emerges from departmental efforts to diversify our programmatic offerings, find collaborative opportunities for faculty and students alike, and offer a wide range of art-related events to the campus community. 

ARTWEEK kicks off with a Gallery Opening and Artist Reception - Tenterhooks: Karley Klopfenstein and Anja Marais, includes open studio and curatorial lab events, the no-holds barred Faculty Throwdown!, and culminates in a lecture by Argentinean mixed-media artist Mirta Kupferminc.

Stay tuned for further announcements and details for specific events.  Below is the full ARTWEEK calendar.

ARTWEEK, FALL 2010

Monday, October 25

* Artist Talk - David Constable
10:40-11:50, MH 132
David Constable received his undergraduate painting degree in Aberdeen, Scotland and an MFA from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. He exhibits his work widely with shows this past year in New York, Chicago, and Scotland. He currently teaches at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise.  His paintings, layered with broken patches of color, are suggestive of pixelated digital imagery. This reveals his interest in an increasingly digitized world in which our engagement with each other and the land becomes ever more superficial and shifting.

ARTWEEK WRAP UP
* Artist Lecture – Mirta Kupferminc
The Skin of Memory: Space of Repression and Expression
Born in Buenos Aires in 1955, the daughter of Holocaust survivors, Kupferminc employs magical realism in her artwork to illustrate loss, dislocation and renewal as a path to healing. Her presentation will explore how her artwork combines photography, video, installation and embroidery in an attempt to trace and transcend a legacy of pain.
