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.

Which came first; the story or the illustration? When you think about the illustrated stories that you’ve read, whether they have been in the form of a graphic novel, a picture book, or comic strip–you might ask yourself this question.

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.

Hartman Union Building – Multipurpose Room

The second in a series of  “Water Week” events sponsored by Common Ground, PSU’s environmental and social justice student organization.

Water is the very essence of life. It sustains every living being on this planet and without it, there would be nothing. Come watch Irena Salina’s award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century – The World Water Crisis.

This hard-hitting film builds a case against the growing movement to privatize the world’s dwindling fresh water supply, and asks the question ‘Can anyone really own our water?’  One of the activists featured in the film is Maude Barlow, Chair of the Council of Canadians, who will be a Sidore Lecture Series speaker on water issues at PSU on March 2, 2010.
