Dawn Williams Boyd: Scraps from My Mother's Floor, Rosalind Sallenger Richardson Center for the Arts
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
The Rosalind Sallenger Richardson Center for the Arts at Wofford College is pleased to feature the work of figurative quilt painter, Dawn Williams Boyd through March 30, 2019. Dawn Williams Boyd’s artwork reflects her interests in American history as it affects and is affected by its African American citizens. After 30 years painting in oils and acrylics on various surfaces, in 2002 Boyd began to 'paint' with fabric instead of on it. Her large scale ‘cloth paintings’ are representative, packed with vibrant, often life sized figures and are strategically embellished with beads, sequins, cowry shells and hand embroidery. Large pieces often take over 500 hours to complete. Through cutting, patching, surface embellishment and quilting, bits and pieces of fabric are transformed into modern visual storytelling.

Art Exhibit: Graphic Solidarity: The Internationalist Outlook of the Cuban Revolution
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Graphic Solidarity: The Internationalist Outlook of the Cuban
Revolution features posters produced in Cuba during the period
following the revolution through the 1980s. The posters highlighted in this
exhibition focus on Cuba’s efforts to spread the messages of their revolution
worldwide and to inspire others in the fight against oppression stemming from
the legacy of imperialism and colonialism. Primarily published by the OSPAAAL organization
based in Havana, these works helped to facilitate the internationalist outlook
and message of the Cuban revolution through their inclusion in the
Tricontinental Magazine which reached people in more than 60 countries
worldwide. The works in this
exhibition are on loan from the collection of Lindsay Webster, Spartanburg,
SC. Curated by Katie McCorkle, this exhibition is a culmination of
her year-long Art History and Government honors project.

Art Exhibit: Sacred and Secular: Netherlandish Baroque Paintings from Regional Collections, Richardson Family Art Museum
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Dynamic and theatrical, but also down-to-earth, moralizing, and
sometimes comic. Triumphant, grandiose, and propagandistic, and yet
also intimate and inward. All of these terms are applicable to the
art of the European Baroque, the cultural epoch of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries which produced an unprecedented richness and variety in
creative expression. Complex and conflicting forces across the
political, religious, economic, and social spheres of life account for this
artistic abundance. The Netherlands, a major center of artistic
production during the Baroque period, was home to many of these contrasts and
conflicts within its relatively small geographic boundaries along the northern
coast of Europe.
These diverse cultural forces are evident, in varying ways and
degrees, in a selection of paintings generously lent to Wofford College by the
Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery in Greenville, SC, the Columbia
Museum of Art in Columbia, SC, and the Robicsek Family Collection in Charlotte,
NC.

Art Exhibit: Stoppages by Michael Webster, Richardson Family Art Gallery
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
These sculptures are a collection of fragments,
contradictions, and run-on thoughts about the physical world. They emerge
from a fascination with systems of the built environment and objects that
occupy our space. When Webster collects found things, he often lives with
them for years before incorporating them into a sculpture, adding something to
their long-established history. A faded, peeled-up yellow road line is
the material embodiment of the syntax that organizes movement, but can we also
imagine what could exist beneath the road line, and allow an absurd moment to
unravel the margins of the system?

Art Exhibit: Graphic Solidarity: The Internationalist Outlook of the Cuban Revolution
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Graphic Solidarity: The Internationalist Outlook of the Cuban
Revolution features posters produced in Cuba during the period
following the revolution through the 1980s. The posters highlighted in this
exhibition focus on Cuba’s efforts to spread the messages of their revolution
worldwide and to inspire others in the fight against oppression stemming from
the legacy of imperialism and colonialism. Primarily published by the OSPAAAL organization
based in Havana, these works helped to facilitate the internationalist outlook
and message of the Cuban revolution through their inclusion in the
Tricontinental Magazine which reached people in more than 60 countries
worldwide. The works in this
exhibition are on loan from the collection of Lindsay Webster, Spartanburg,
SC. Curated by Katie McCorkle, this exhibition is a culmination of
her year-long Art History and Government honors project.

Art Exhibit: Sacred and Secular: Netherlandish Baroque Paintings from Regional Collections, Richardson Family Art Museum
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Dynamic and theatrical, but also down-to-earth, moralizing, and
sometimes comic. Triumphant, grandiose, and propagandistic, and yet
also intimate and inward. All of these terms are applicable to the
art of the European Baroque, the cultural epoch of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries which produced an unprecedented richness and variety in
creative expression. Complex and conflicting forces across the
political, religious, economic, and social spheres of life account for this
artistic abundance. The Netherlands, a major center of artistic
production during the Baroque period, was home to many of these contrasts and
conflicts within its relatively small geographic boundaries along the northern
coast of Europe.
These diverse cultural forces are evident, in varying ways and
degrees, in a selection of paintings generously lent to Wofford College by the
Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery in Greenville, SC, the Columbia
Museum of Art in Columbia, SC, and the Robicsek Family Collection in Charlotte,
NC.

Art Exhibit: Stoppages by Michael Webster, Richardson Family Art Gallery
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
These sculptures are a collection of fragments,
contradictions, and run-on thoughts about the physical world. They emerge
from a fascination with systems of the built environment and objects that
occupy our space. When Webster collects found things, he often lives with
them for years before incorporating them into a sculpture, adding something to
their long-established history. A faded, peeled-up yellow road line is
the material embodiment of the syntax that organizes movement, but can we also
imagine what could exist beneath the road line, and allow an absurd moment to
unravel the margins of the system?

Dawn Williams Boyd: Scraps from My Mother's Floor, Rosalind Sallenger Richardson Center for the Arts
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
The Rosalind Sallenger Richardson Center for the Arts at Wofford College is pleased to feature the work of figurative quilt painter, Dawn Williams Boyd through March 30, 2019. Dawn Williams Boyd’s artwork reflects her interests in American history as it affects and is affected by its African American citizens. After 30 years painting in oils and acrylics on various surfaces, in 2002 Boyd began to 'paint' with fabric instead of on it. Her large scale ‘cloth paintings’ are representative, packed with vibrant, often life sized figures and are strategically embellished with beads, sequins, cowry shells and hand embroidery. Large pieces often take over 500 hours to complete. Through cutting, patching, surface embellishment and quilting, bits and pieces of fabric are transformed into modern visual storytelling.
