Terry Rosenberg: Figuring Motion


Inter-disciplinary exhibition comprised of large scale paintings. Rosenberg uses movement as his main concept and form. His unfolding brushstrokes communicate the kinetic power of dance as it occurs. Rosenberg states “I am interested in revealing the qualities of the transient, transparent and ephemeral, which are inherent in all aspects of the human condition and especially identifiable in dance.”

Events in conjunction with exhibition:
Artist Lecture / Reception - A public lecture by the artist Terry Rosenberg will be held that highlights his technique and artwork. Reception will follow immediately after.

Artist Lecture: Tuesday, January 22, 6 PM in Mitchell Auditorium, Seigfred Hall 519

Reception: Tuesday, January 22, 7-9 PM

Performance in progress - Rosenberg will demonstrate his approach to art making through a live drawing performance. His work merges performing and visual art into a new and unique experience. School of Dance participants: Mickie Geller, Tresa Randall, Ruben Graciani, Marina Gobins Walchli. Wednesday, January 23, 7 PM, Putnam Hall

Art / Dance Exercise Class - An interactive class that integrates the arts and dance disciplines will be lead by the artist. Class is open to the public, no experience necessary. Interested participants should bring a large drawing pad, charcoal and comfortable clothing. School of Dance faculty: Mickie Geller, Tresa Randall, Ruben Graciani and the School of Art faculty: Matthew Friday and Todd McGill. Thursday, January 24, 1 - 3 PM, Putnam Hall, Dance Studio

A highly competitive juried exhibition featuring the artwork created by School of Art undergraduate students.

Juror’s Lecture: Monday, March 3, 7 pm

Mitchell Auditorium, 519 Seigfred Hall

Exhibition Reception:

Thursday, March 6, 7-9 PM

Award notification ceremony - 7:30

Christine Heindl received her MFA in Painting from Cornell University. She has exhibited her work at many galleries nationally including at White Columns and Clementine Gallery in New York City. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in Painting in 2001. Her work has been reviewed in Art in America and the New York Times, among other publications. She currently lives in New York City.

Heindl's current paintings explore a pattern language that we move through every day. Heindl states: "Things change all the time. As Gertrude Stein said, "Things are exactly the same and exactly different". I like to think there is a world we don't see and energies below and above our perception. I like to think about the transistor radio I had as a kid. It was tiny and the whole world was in it - moving through it. My work is a way for me to make a place to be and I inhabit my paintings in the way I inhabit the world."

From Page to Stage: The Technology of Theatrical Design

Tom Fiocchi, Kjersten Lester-Moratzka, David Russell

The School of Theatre will present a showcase of costumes, props and stage-set design, highlighting the fusion of old and new technologies forged on the road of perpetual problem solving to create new visions. Objects in theatre design are taken out of their historical context and thrust onto the stage where they must perform in new ways, survive catastrophe, and adapt to evolving materials. Artists and master Craftsman in their disciplines bend and tweak the rules of traditional techniques to bring forth objects to fulfill the design and performance objectives of theatrical productions.


Reception: Tuesday, February 12, 7-9 PM

Gallery talk: Friday, February 1 at noon in Trisolini Gallery (hosted by School of Art Theatre)

Tom Block - INTO THE SINGULARITY
A 24-panel, 72-foot long by 6' high painting expresses the seething singularity of humanity, crushed to its breaking point beneath the calm, repressed interior experience of the "realized" mystic. Fusing color, a morass of hands, screaming faces and the dribbling tears of line, this works explores the horrifying interior space created by the mystical path. It is an empty, narcissistic and rudderless journey, leading only to a cul-de-sac of a-human experience.
Artist Lecture: Thursday, October 25, 6-7 PM, Baker Center 231
Reception: Thursday October 25, 7-9 PM

BIOMODD: A Living Game Computer as Social Sculpture - by Angelo Vermeulen

Biomodd is a social and interactive art project that brings together ecology, game culture and installation art. The work tries to visualise and rework the intricate relation of organic life, technology, pleasure and consumption. Inspired by the case modding scene, a monumental custom computer that is built as a form of expanded sculpture. Inside the case, excess heat of overclocked processors is recycled by an elaborate living ecosystem. The computer hardware is used as server for a new computer game. The objecive of this game is to bring some of the main themes of Biomodd into an imaginative multiplayer game experience.
