Edelen and Schulz Exhibition
Ron Edelen: Visual Design
Visual Design explores the relationships between graphic form, communication, and technology. The very nature of the title speaks to Edelen’ s challenge to further define a contemporary viewpoint for today’ s diluted, interpretive discipline of visual design— not through words but through a vast mix of stylistic representation that pulls references from all other disciplines of visual art. The exhibition features a series of micro experiments, comprised of several static 2D and time-based graphic illustrations, all at variable scales and media.

Ryan Schulz: The Final Frontier
The Final Frontier frames escapist consumption as a contemporary tool to temper the toils and tribulations of late-stage capitalist American life. Ceramic vessels are used to reflect the fast food, slow food, and substances employed to cope through increasingly turbulent and unpredictable times. While traditional handmade ceramic pottery invites the user to partake in something special and qualitative, this series investigates the altered expectations that arise when the vessels bloat and contort into something phantasmal.

In honor of the quadricentennial of his birth, the spring term will feature special course offerings, film screenings, live theatre, guest speakers, period music, and other themed events. Best of all, the festivities will culminate in a production of Molière’ s masterpiece Tartuffe. As the French say, venez nombreux!( Come one, come all!)
