Faculty Talk Series, Gray-Jones Room
(Academic)
|
Description: |
Dr.
Bill DeMars (Government and International Affairs) will present, "Political Deliberation in The Fellowship of the Ring"
Abstract: In The Lord of
the Rings novels, scenes of political deliberation—discussing and deciding what
must be done to achieve a collective goal—are many and long. However, these
scenes are neglected in both the massive Tolkien literature and the Peter
Jackson films. This talk focuses on The Fellowship of the Ring, including
hobbit decision making, formation of the Fellowship, and the problem of Tom
Bombadil. Lunch provided for faculty attendees. Just
tell the AVI folks that you are a part of the Faculty Talk Series.

Art Exhibit: Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection, Richardson Family Art Museum, upper level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson
Collection showcases forty-one artists—both native Southerners who recorded
their own region and distant places, and others who were transitory visitors or
seasonal residents. The result is a varied assortment of individual approaches,
and, in the words of the popular American Impressionist Childe Hassam, “some
things that are charming.”Many of the painters on viewembraced the central tenets of
Impressionism: light-filled natural settings loosely painted in high-key colors
with visible brushstrokes; fluidity of form; and an emphasis on atmospheric
transience. A “scenic impression” is the evocation of something seen, rather
than its literal transcription. In terms of subject matter, it is most
frequently a landscape, but it can also extend to a figurative composition set
outdoors. The artist’s experience—his or her impression of the scene at
hand—is paramount. The earliest paintings in the exhibition date from the 1880s and
illustrate a Barbizon-inspired aesthetic consisting of dark tones and simple
landscapes. Other works postdate Impressionism and display greater concern for
expression and form, along with an awareness of the picture plane.

Exhibit: The Richardson Family Art Gallery features the works by Kaye Savage and Colleen Balance
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Kaye Savage, interested in chemical,
physical, and biological interactions across different scales of time and
space, in Earth’s surficial environments, presents both
place-based, incorporating terrain patterns and natural materials from sites
that she explores, and data-based, depicting patterns observed
by herself or by scientists that she meets in the field, as graphic
elements. Her pieces engage with locations from the Blue Ridge to the South
Carolina coast.
For Ballance, It has been more than a
bit of a stretch to return to her roots as an artist and attempt to create work
not based on theatrical text. However, once she worked with her
watercolor guru, and traveled to Morocco and southern Spain to further her MENA
studies, she was fortunate to find the inspiration she needed. The Saharan sand
of Erg Chebbi and the miraculous decorative tile motifs at the Alhambra and
madrasas of Fes provided her the mental freshness and soul touching spark to
produce what viewers can find in her works.

Exhibit: Japanese Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras, Richardson Family Art Museum, lower level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Japanese
Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras (1603-1912) displays a variety of cultural expressions of
Japan, including tea ceremony implements, woodblock prints, porcelains, and ink
paintings. The Edo Period (1603-1868), named after the Shogun capital, is
one of the most prosperous and thriving in the history of Japanese art.
The political stability established by the Tokugawa family prompted an increase
in artistic, cultural and social development, with flourishing and distinctive
aesthetics represented in paintings, ceramics, woodblock prints and decorative
arts. The Meiji Period (1868-1912), an era of radical social and
political change from feudalism to modernity and adopted Western influences,
witnessed a blending of cultures and an innovative interchange of old ideas and
new in Japanese art. This exhibition intends to further enhance scholarly
research for students in ARTH 322 Art of Japan, and several of the labels in
this exhibition will be written by students. Featured
works are loaned from the Shiro Kuma Collection of Edwin and Rhena Symmes in
Atlanta, GA, from the Edmund Daniel Kinzinger (1888-1963) Collection of Japanese Prints loaned by
David and Barbara Goist in Asheville, NC, and from the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Hunter Stokes ('60) in Florence, SC.
