Textiles: Pattern, Ornament, And Culture Exhibition

Posted by -->

Oct	Dec
7	5

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.

In an exploration of the collaborative process between an illustrator and author, Plymouth State University presents Illustrating VanderMeer: a glimpse into the collaborative works of Author, Jeff VanderMeer and Illustrator, Eric Schaller, October 15 – November 23 at Lamson Library.

Faculty Art Exhibition

4	9

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.
