Lee DESCRIPTION:In this exhibition\, artist and Monmouth University Art and Design faculty member\, Tonya D. Lee presents a collection of multi-discipline work that explores the abstraction of nature and environment through the combination shapes\, patterns\, moments and pauses that are derived from passive spaces\, fleeting thoughts and changing winds. Location and process are in a conversation about ephemeral moments of beauty. Using a multi-disciplinary process of combining painting\, drawing\, collage\, construction\, and digital media\, the obsessions with materiality explore form and color as an echo of the present overlapping past presents — form and color negotiating to exist as object and subject.

They are the daughters of Oceanus and Tethys. Coscia\, the Chief Photographer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has spent countless hours with classical sculptures\, photographing them in various settings and seasons. He focuses on the qualities of light on sculpture in changing conditions\, and the shifting effects of natural light on stone surfaces. His photographs of museum pieces explore elements of the art outside the context of the museum setting. \nHis recent work draws on Man Ray’s solarization techniques. This effect reverses the shadow areas and transforms the sense of weight and volume of the objects\, so that they appear suspended in air or water. The forms are evocative of earthly creatures or fossils; photographing and printing them using recreated old photographic techniques removes time specificity\, so that they also are suspended in time. \nCoscia\, Jr. received his MFA from Hunter College in 1989 and his BFA from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in 1982. His photographs have appeared in numerous publications and museum books\, most notably Light on Stone\, a photographic essay published by Yale Press in 2004.

The youngest artist ever inducted into the prestigious New York Society of Illustrators\, James uses his self-taught watercolor expression to paint some of the most recognized faces in the world\, from sports icons and presidents to Nobel Prize winners and CEOs. His award-winning art is showcased in museums\, galleries\, and private collections across the globe\, and his story has been told on national television and in the pages of magazines and newspapers. \nFiorentino uses his trademark detail and realism in watercolor to paint New Jersey’s most endangered and vulnerable wildlife species. His evocative artwork inspires viewers through his life-like depictions of rare wildlife in their natural surroundings. His paintings truly bring wildlife to life on paper\, and in doing so\, his art helps to educate and engage viewers about the precipitous declines that many of these species have undergone. \n“Though their painting styles differ\, Fiorentino is adept\, like Neiman\nwas\, at drawing\, which is of course the most fundamental skill required\nto succeed as a figurative artist. Very few wildlife artists that I know\nof can handle the human figure in convincing fashion. Fiorentino has\ndistinguished himself as a wildlife artist with skill and versatility\nthat positions him above the rest in this regard.” \nIn keeping with his expanding body of work\, James is a signature member of the Society of Animal Artists and Artists for Conservation in addition to the American and New Jersey Watercolor Societies and the Salmagundi Club. He also serves as a trustee for The Raptor Trust and D & R Greenway Land Trust\, both in New Jersey. \nRare Wildlife Revealed: The James Fiorentino Traveling Art Exhibition is sponsored by Omni Distribution\, LLC\, Flying Fish Brewing Company\, Merrill G. & Emita Hastings Foundation\, Studio 7 Fine Art Gallery\, and Somerset Patriots. \nThis exhibition is presented in partnership with Conserve Wildlife Foundation URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/fiorentino18/ LOCATION:Pollak Gallery CATEGORIES:Art Exhibitions,Arts at Monmouth,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/fiorentino_hero3.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20171210T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20171210T170500 DTSTAMP:20260512T062212 CREATED:20180725T203620Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180918T192530Z UID:40810101197-1512918000-1512925500@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:The Taming of The Shrew DESCRIPTION:Music Dmitri Shostakovich \nChoreography Jean-Christophe Maillot \nCast Ekaterina Krysanova (Katharina)\, Vladislav Lantratov (Petruchio)\, Olga Smirnova (Bianca) Semyon Chudin (Lucentio) \nBaptista struggles to marry off his tempestuous daughter Katharina\, a shrew who denies that any man could possibly be her match.

After Men At Work’s rise\, demise and a period of reflection\, Hay embarked on a solo career\, debuting in 1987 with Looking For Jack (the title of which supposedly referred to a brief encounter Hay had with actor Jack Nicholson). Hay continued to release critically acclaimed solo material with regularity throughout the 2000’s\, including Wayfaring Sons\, Peaks & Valleys\, Topanga\, 1998’s Transcendental Highway\, 2007’s Are You Lookin’ at Me?\, American Sunshine\, 2011’s Gathering Mercury\, which was followed in 2015 by Next Year People.  \nHay contributed “I Just Don’t Think I’ll Ever Get Over You” to the soundtrack of Garden State and has had roles in other cult movies such as Cosi and television shows such as Scrubs\, The Larry Sanders Show\, JAG\, The Mick Molloy Show and What About Brian. Hay has also been a member of Ringo Starr’s eighth and tenth All-Starr Bands. In 2017 Hay recorded and released his 13th solo album\, Fierce Mercy\, an epic\, cinematic step forward from the singer-songwriter who has become increasingly known for his wonderfully witty and intimate performances as well as his ever-present great voice and incisive song writing .  \nThe range of artists who have chosen to cite him as a muse is vast and varied and include the likes of Metallica and The Lumineers\, reflecting his continuing relevance and broad appeal.Presented by UMT presents URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/clhay17/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Arts at Monmouth,Concerts,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/colin_hero1.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
