Lori Nix Visiting Artist Lecture at Colloquim

Chazen Museum of Art room L160

March 21 4:30-5:30 pm

Working in her home/studio, Nix combines cardboard, foam, glue and paint to construct small dioramas which she then photographs with an 8 x 10” camera. Often taking up to seven months to complete, these large scale photographs of everyday places – a laundromat, bar, library, aquarium – fall victim to decay, referencing the effects of man. Using humor as her anchor, Nix’s work challenges our perceptions of reality, as she reminds us of our responsibilities.

Painting with Light, with Eric Curry

The following short video tutorial and artist's interview demonstrates how industrial/fine art photographer Eric Curry used the 'Painting with Light' technique to create Submarine. By creating multiple photographs all exposed by lighting different details of the same scene, and then layering those same photographs back together into a single magical image, it does seem that the sum of the parts total more than the individual frames.

Scholarship to Attend Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine.

The UW Arts Faculty raised funds that established a dedicated Fund at Haystack which provides one scholarship for a UW student to attend a two week workshop at Haystack School each summer.

Typical courses include ceramics, wood, glass, fibers, metal, drawing, paper, printmaking, artist's books and mixed media.

The Scholarship pays for tuition, room and board for a 2-week workshop. You are responsible only for getting yourself there and back.

In order to apply for the Haystack scholarship you will need to submit the following to Teri Van Genderen in an envelope marked Haystack:

1) 8 JPEGs of your work on a CD/DVD (labeled with your name, medium used, dimensions.)
2) A separate image information sheet with the same information
3) First and second choice of workshop
4) A cover letter that explains your choices of workshop and why the workshops fit your specific creative directions
5) Resume

The deadline for the materials is Monday March 10th 4pm to the Art Office Front Desk.

PS: This is the only scholarship that is specifically for UW Students however, you can also apply directly to Haystack for work/study scholarships. They offer quite a few scholarships every summer.

Saatchi Gallery looking for online student community involvement

Dear Tom

I have recently been reviewing our website www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk and it caught my attention that very few students from University of Wisconsin - Madison have joined our online student art community STUART http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/stuart/

As we continue to develop new and exciting opportunities for the artists on the site we are also hoping to ensure that students of the highest calibre are fully aware of the site and the resources it has to offer them.

We hope it provides a suitable platform for students to present their portfolio to a global audience, gathering ideas and inspiration through discussion with their peers and through the presentation of over 40,000 professional artists’ portfolios that are currently featured on the site.

I wish to highlight to yourself and your colleagues three of the more interesting sections of the site which may prove particularly useful, this includes the essays section, the crits section and the Magazine which features up to date news about exhibitions from around the world.

We recently had our first major STUART exhibition in the UK featuring the winners of our 4 New Sensations competition set up for graduating artists in conjunction with the broadcaster Channel 4. From the 20 finalists 2 Graduates’ work was acquired by the Zabludowicz Collection and many of the other students sold work to private collectors and were invited to participate in Solo and group exhibitions at professional galleries including the Alexia Goethe Gallery, Primo Alonso gallery and the Royal Scottish Academy.

We also took a selection of Saatchi Online and STUART artists to the Zoo Art fair in London providing the opportunity for the artists to sell their work commission free at this prestigious event which runs alongside the Frieze art Fair. Our aim for the next year is to continue to give our student artists similar opportunities internationally.

I wanted to double check that you received information about the site previously and ask whether you had any feedback about the site from colleagues or your students about ways to improve the site to make it a more effective learning tool. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the project

Kind regards, Phoebe
