Textiles: Pattern, Ornament, And Culture Exhibition

Silver Center for the Arts

Opening reception: October 7, 4–6 p.m.

Panel discussion: Weaving, Industry, Art, and Design, November 2, 4–5 p.m.  D&M building Room 314

This exhibition will explore aspects of textile history, function, and design. Making textile is a basic human activity that spans virtually every culture and civilization, yet it is also among the most elaborate of artistic undertakings. Rich with symbolic and functional history, the textile industry was the first industry to be fully mechanized in Western Europe and helped usher in the Industrial Revolution. Strong economic pressure and market demand have remained integral to the process of constant upgrade in technologies for design and production of textiles.

The exhibition features an array of works by  textile designer Amin Kalaf.

Karl Drerup Art Gallery

Opening reception: November 4, 4–6 p.m.
Panel discussions:
The Path of an Artist, November 10, noon
Artistic Philosophy, November 18, noon

An important connection between faculty and students occurs when faculty exhibit their own work. This special exhibition presents an opportunity for students and members of the PSU community to become better acquainted with art department faculty outside the classroom, as artists working in a variety of media. Whether they are presenting works from early in their careers, current pieces, or experimental work, faculty welcome viewers into the private realm of the teacher as artist.

7:00 pm

7pm, Smith Recital Hall @ Silver Center for the Arts

Born in 1970, Kevin Young is widely regarded as one of the leading poets of his generation, one who finds meaning and inspiration in African American music, particularly the blues, and in the bittersweet history of Black America. His newest book is Dear Darkness (Knopf, 2008). His earlier collection, Black Maria: Poems Produced and Directed by Kevin Young is a “film noir in verse,” a playful homage to the language and imagery of Hollywood detective films. He currently is a professor of poetry at Emory University.

All readings are free and followed by a reception and book signing.
Visit the Silver Center Web site for more information and to order tickets.
