Contemporary Sculpture
Location: University Art Gallery
Description: Contemporary Sculpture
University Art Gallery
Reception: Tues. Oct. 6, 4-6 p.m.
Gallery talk by Professors DeHoog and Nelson, 5 p.m.
Curated by John DeHoog and Brian Nelson, Contemporary Sculpture shows the work of eight established and emerging sculptors who address such current issues as consumption, waste, science, the body, war, and commoditization. Despite their topicality, these sculptures are largely abstract and highly attentive to the formal aspects of sculpture. Each artist represented acknowledges the traditions of sculpture while managing to upend customary expectations. Eileen Doktorski (Utah) and Mike McFalls (Georgia) use trash as both subject and medium, while Stephen Cartwright (Illinois) employs laser etching and rapid prototyping to explore the time honored subject of the natural landscape. Technically, the works range from the virtuosic precision of Dustin Farnsworth’s (Michigan) bentwood forms to the improvisational freedom of Travis Townsend’s (Kentucky) whimsical constructions. Other artists included in the exhibit are Maki Hajikano (Texas), Dora Natella (Indiana), and Anthony Cervino (Pennsylvania).

"In Whose Honor" Film Documentary
Location: Student Center Room 300
Description: In Whose Honor takes a critical look at the long-running practice of "honoring" American Indians as mascots and nicknames in sports. It follows the story of Native American mother Charlene Teters, and her transformation into the leader some are calling the "Rosa Parks of American Indians" as she struggles to protect her cultural symbols and identity. In Whose Honor looks at the issues of racism, stereotypes, minority representation and the powerful effects of mass-media imagery, and the extent to which one university will go to defend and justify its mascot.
Facilitated by Professor Lori Burlingame
