schedule (reverse chronological order)

April 14, 7-8pm: "Role of the Beholder"
In a spiritually decadent and materialistic fashion one may assume that the visual art object (such as a sculpture or painting) is complete in itself.  This lecture will examine the role of the beholder and the concept of transactionalism.  The overused paradigm of the tree-falling-in-the-forest-sound argument is ridiculous when applied to, well, trees, but very accurate when applied to art.  For the experience of art is a purely human phenomenon.  Without us, it does not take place.

March 8.  Juror for NKU student art.

February 24, 7-8pm: "Process Art: Revisiting a Facet of Modernism"
Many forms of what we may call a Realist approach to the arts begin with an idea or image for the artist within their mind which is then subsequently rendered outwardly.  Process art is a mode of creating in which the discovery takes place while the work is being executed.  In order for this mode of creating to be successful, there are multiple features that an artist may wish to learn about that should or could take place.
