SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: Heeseop Yoon
DESCRIPTION:January 21 – April 10\nIce House Gallery\nOpening Reception: Thurs. February 5\, from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.\nIllustrated Lecture: Wilson Hall Auditorium\, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. \nI begin by taking photographs of interiors such as warehouses\, storage spaces\, junkshops and basements; places where everything is jumbled\, disorganized and filled with piles of random stuff.  From these photographs I construct a view and then start to draw freehand.  I don’t make sketches or project images to make the drawings.  Once I put lines on the surface I don’t erase or remove them.  If I want to change the drawing I just add more lines on top of the existing ones. These ‘mistakes’ that I make in the process of my drawing appear as double or multiples lines as I apply ‘corrections’. They reflect the accumulation of time\, and how my perception has changed and become less clear over time.\nMost of the drawing installations are site-specific.  I usually visit the site before I start the piece and take measurements of the space where I will install the work.  Usually I have vague ideas about how the whole installation will sit in the space\, but most of the decisions I make happen during the process of making the piece in the studio. \nMost of my drawing installations are also room scale\, so I work section by section in my studio and don’t usually get to see the entire drawing until I have finish installing it. The whole piece is attached to the wall with the same black masking tape that I use for the drawing. I give each Mylar sheet a number and make a map of the drawing that shows which number goes where\, so installing the whole piece is just like a putting together a really big puzzle. \nI am mostly attracted to representing claustrophobic environments and defunct objects. At the beginning\, it started as more of a formal interest – I was attracted to these massive piles of things\, and the anonymous\, decontextualized quality they had.  I wanted to make still life drawings that were about perception and mark-making rather than the narrative of the objects themselves.  But the more I worked with claustrophobic spaces\, I stared to realize that these are the spaces hidden within our lives.  We have so many things that we forget about. We struggle for space for ourselves and for the things we own.  Now I am interested in these as lost spaces. \nMy work deals with memory and perception within cluttered spaces. I begin by photographing interiors such as basements\, workshops\, and storage spaces\, places where everything is jumbled and time becomes ambiguous without the presence of people. From these photographs I construct a view and then I draw freehand without erasing. As I correct “mistakes” the work results in double or multiple lines\, which reflect how my perception has changed over time and makes me question my initial perception. Paradoxically\, greater concentration and more lines make the drawn objects less clear. The more I see\, the less I believe in the accuracy or reality of the images I draw. \nArtist Website: heeseopyoon.com/

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: Hon Eui Chen - After the Sun
DESCRIPTION:January 20 – March 7\nRechnitz Hall\nDiMattio Gallery – First Floor\nLecture: Thursday\, January 29\, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m.  Wilson Hall Auditorium\,\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, January 29 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. \nThe poetics of intimate spaces and the exploration of the idea of home are what interest me in paintings and installation.  The subject of home remains an abstract concept and is the motivational force for my studio pursuits.  Born in a refugee camp that lies between Cambodia and Thailand\, I moved with my family to Mississippi at the age of six.  Growing up\, the sense of belonging and not belonging to the Southern culture of Mississippi affected my sense of identity.  The memories of my childhood on the Thai-Cambodia border became just a faint beacon of light as the years go by; the need to remember\, to retrieve those childhood memories of a past life remains a constant act in my work. \nIn my installations\, I make objects that convey themes of identity\, memory and longing to transform and activate a room.  I use acrylic paint\, varnishes\, resin\, plaster and photographs as the structural realization for a subject as formless and transitory as memory.  The concept of travel and memory are embedded in the current series of mixed media paintings – layered earthy\, dark colored background with graphite drawn trees and foliage and an overlay of concrete.  My work seeks to simulate the impermanence of memory\, the fleetingness of its existence in mixed media installations\, creating structures that translate the mind’s formless but living past into physical material and sensation and transforming space that poetically simulates a timeless place for recollection and dreams. \nArtist website: www.honeuichen.com \nImage Caption: Untitled\, 8” x 8”\, acrylic\, image transfer and concrete on panel\, 2014

SUMMARY:True Blues with Corey Harris\, Guy Davis\, and Alvin Youngblood Hart
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Corey Harris\, a MacArthur Grant recipient\, and featuring renowned roots musicians Guy Davis and Alvin Youngblood Hart\, True Blues chronicles the extraordinary living culture of the blues in an evening of music and conversation. In bringing the True Blues film to the concert stage\, the True Blues concert vividly brings to life this crucial wellspring of American music. \nBoth Corey Harris and Alvin Youngblood Hart were featured in Martin Scorcese’s “The Blues: A Musical Journey\,” which followed Corey on a roots journey to West Africa. Alvin contributed\, as well\, to Wim Wenders’ ”The Soul Of a Man” and Denzel Washington’s “The Great Debaters.” Guy has often followed in the Thespian footsteps of his parents\, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee\, most recently in the Broadway revival of “Finian’s Rainbow\,” and earlier in “Mulebone” and “Robert Johnson: Trick the Devil.” \nBlues is at the center of their artistry\, and the blues takes center stage in True Blues\, the concert.

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition - Evelyn Leavens Retrospective 1924 - 2013
DESCRIPTION:November 7 – December 19\nRechnitz Hall’s DiMattio Gallery\nOpening Reception: Friday\, November 14\, 2014 from 7 – 9 pm \nBorn in 1924\, Evelyn Leavens is a life long resident of Red Bank. Her first solo show was in 1952 at the Old Mill Gallery\, Tinton Falls\, known then for the introduction of Alice Neel and Martha Graham.\nIn 1958 a book of drawings “Boswells’ Life of Boswell” by Leavens was published by Simon and Schuster which became #2 on the New York Times children’s best seller that year. \nShe has received two fellowships from N.J. State Council of the Arts and was included in the 1977 N.J. Arts Council biennial at the Trenton State Museum. Her work has shown\, notably\, at City Without Walls\, Aljira\, Tweeds\, Summit Art Center and the Morris State Museum. \nPrimarily self taught\, she attended the Vermont Studio Center in 1987 where she studied with Malcolm Morley\, Archie Rand and Niel Welliver. \n“Black Convergence is a bit hard to describe. First\, it is not an abstract. It takes nothing from nothing. This painting is non-objective because it has nothing in its mind to start with. The first mark on the paper is the way to the second mark.  This progresses\, through many marks and changes to become a true non-objective. It makes many changes until\, through love and hate\, eventually becomes acceptable. I never give up”.\n– Evelyn Leavens \nThis exhibition will include works from throughout the artist’s life. \nImage Caption: Black Convergence\, 2012\, Watercolor on paper\, 16″ x 20”

SUMMARY:Our Town by Thornton Wilder
DESCRIPTION:November 5 – 9 and 12 – 15\, 2014Lauren K. Woods Theatre \nA University-wide production of the classic Pulitzer-Prize winning play by Thornton Wilder\, Our Town tells the universal story of small town America. Though taking place in the first decade of the 20th century and written in 1938\, Our Town has consistently been hailed as a theatrical masterpiece. A New York production won the Tony Award for best revival in 1989 and an off-Broadway presentation in 2009 won accolades from critics and audiences alike and ran for nearly 3 years.  Performed with little scenery and having the character of Stage Manager directly address the audience\, Our Town asks us to consider what is important in life. When Emily wants to relive a day in her life\, she is told “Choose the least important day of your life; it will be important enough.”

SUMMARY:Aquila Theatre’s Wuthering Heights
DESCRIPTION:Aquila Theatre brings to life Emily Bronte’s classic story of all-consuming passion with its new production of Wuthering Heights. \nThe novel\, one of the most famous works of world literature\, was first published in 1847 under a pseudonym and is Emily Bronte’s only work. Wuthering Heights recounts the tale of ill-fated lovers on the lonely moors of northern England. Heathcliff and Catherine meet as children when Catherine’s father brings the abandoned boy home to live with them. The two grow up together\, living freely on the moors while Heathcliff is tormented by Catherine’s brother. When Catherine’s parents die\, her brother turns Heathcliff out\, forcing him to live among the servants. Catherine marries and the crushed Heathcliff disappears. Years later\, a wealthy Heathcliff returns\, but is it too late for them? \nWuthering Heights is a deep and wide story of passion\, revenge\, family\, class\, and the supernatural. Over a century and a half later\, Bronte’s magnum opus remains incredibly moving. Bringing its signature style and dynamic approach\, Aquila re-imagines one of the most famous love stories ever told with this heart wrenching new production. Aquila Theatre is renowned for its ability to adapt works of classical literature into enthralling and mesmerizing live performances. Impeccable design and a unique physical style combine with a marvelous cast to make Wuthering Heights an exquisite and captivating theatrical experience. \nPre-Show Discussion with Cast at 7 pm

According to Peter Ames Carlin’s biography BRUCE\, that summer he used money earned from painting his aunt’s house to purchase an $18 acoustic guitar\, a copy of 100 Greatest American Folk Songs and then “committed himself to mastering the instrument.” Fifty years have passed since that fateful summer\, and Bruce Springsteen is now one of popular music’s most beloved\, significant and enduring artists. \nThe Friends and Monmouth University will sponsor a unique Springsteen-themed forum entitled in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Bruce Springsteen’s first major steps towards becoming a professional musician.\nThe structure of the forum will be centered around a series of moderated panel discussions on various Springsteen-related topics\, allowing the audience to hear from and interact with a variety of authors and scholars.

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: David H. Wells
DESCRIPTION:September 2 – November 14\, 2014\nIce House Gallery\nOpening Reception:  Thursday\, September 25\, from 4:30 – 7:00 p.m. \nAn exhibit about the empty homes and foreclosed dreams littering the American landscape in the wake of the foreclosure crisis. \nOwning a home was once the American dream. At the peak of the foreclosure crisis\, one in five American homeowners was either behind on their mortgage payments or in the process of foreclosure. Their empty homes and foreclosed dreams are powerful symbols of lives shattered and families devastated. \nAfter a house is foreclosed upon there is a fleeting moment when the ghosts of the one-time owners are all that is left – before the houses are cleaned and returned to the real estate market.  The remaining signs of life photographed during this period of time echo the voices and footsteps that once filled these emptied houses. \nI focused on empty homes\, as they are immovable objects and stand in stark contrast to the highly mobile American dream. I chose not to focus on individual families in foreclosure because I wanted to explore the issue from a broader perspective. The final work is made more powerful by its lack of literalism and its attention to chillingly mundane objects.  An open-ended canvas\, viewers can project their own ideas into the photographs – about home\, America and family\, into the empty spaces of the houses. \nI started the project in April of 2009\, with the goal of understanding the upheaval we are living through. I initially photographed in the Central Valley of California\, an epicenter of the foreclosure crisis. Then\, I worked in Rhode Island\, which has a foreclosure rate very similar to California’s. To date\, I have photographed in eighteen states. \nMy audience is America itself\, including those who worry about the possible foreclosure of their own dreams\, those who have already experienced that trauma and anyone concerned or interested in what’s happening to the American dream.

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: MAVIS SMITH / THINK AGAIN
DESCRIPTION:September 2 – October 17\, 2014\nRechnitz Hall\nDiMattio Gallery – First Floor\nOpening Reception: Friday\, September 19\, from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. \nWe interact with hundreds of people throughout our lifetimes\, yet can we ever hope to grasp the intricate web of experience that makes them tick? Imagining the hidden realities of other people’s existences is a continuing theme in the work of artist Mavis Smith. “It’s not so much specific people or events\, but the general sense of unknown depths that intrigues me”\, says Smith. “It does not have to be dark; heroic acts toward total strangers or simple people rising to extraordinary occasions are equally in the mix.” Smith\, who’s works are often done in egg tempera\, brings an almost surreal aesthetic to her paintings that further suggests the dislocation of appearances and realities. \n“I have a love/hate relationship with egg tempera. It’s a labor intensive medium\, but the luminous effects you can achieve makes it seem worth it to me. I build up layer upon layer of thicker paint\, alternating with sheer washes of pigment – back and forth\, back and forth. The actual process is very meditative\, and I believe it contributes to my subconscious imagination coming into play.” \nBucks County\, PA resident Mavis Smith studied at the Pratt Institute in the 1970’s\, and has exhibited her work in Holland and Switzerland as well as Santa Fe\, New York City\, and several venues in NJ and PA including a solo show in 2012 at the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown\, PA. She is also a prolific illustrator and author of children’s books\, having authored 10 and illustrated at least 75. This exhibition samples a range of Smith’s work from years past\, as well as several new pieces\, including both paintings and works on paper as well as some recent sculptural works incorporating egg shells.

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: Robert Mueller - Selected Works From the Monmouth University Permanent Collection
DESCRIPTION:September 2 – October 17\, 2014\nRechnitz Hall\nDiMattio Gallery – Second Floor \nInspired by mathematical models\, literary sources\, and his own social consciousness\, Robert Emmett Mueller\, artist\, engineer\, inventor\, author\, musician\, puppet maker\, and general wizard\, is on a never-ending search for visual equivalents to his ideas. \n“Such is his mind\, and such is his personality that I know whatever he is doing artistically is a search for form\, a search for beauty\, and a search for the meaning of things”\, said Bernarda Bryson Shahn\, and artist and Mueller’s longtime neighbor in Roosevelt\, New Jersey. \nMueller’s creations are largely varied.  They include woodcuts\, like a recent triptych entitled: Ravages of Pre-emptive War; The Devil Stalks Baghdad; America’s Bitter Presence\, whose theme is the U.S. invasion of Iraq.  Many of Mueller’s pieces can be found worldwide and are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Museum of Modern Art\, and The Pushkin Museum in Moscow\, the New Jersey State Museum\, the Rutgers University Museum\, the Victoria and Albert Museum of London\, and other museums worldwide.  He is also a painter who describes his personal style as “Mathematico-abstract.”  Mueller has written two books\, The Science of Art\, published in 1967\, and Inventivity\, published in 1963. \nMueller’s own “inventivity” took a circuitous route to art.  He grew up in St. Louis\, where his father was a baker and his mother was a seamstress and milliner.  After serving in the Navy\, he was sent to a college preparation program in Asbury Park and later graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. \nAfter moving to New York City to study philosophy at New York University\, Mueller began to meet artists from Roosevelt\, which was begun as a planned workers’ community but had evolved into an artists’ colony that included\, among others\, Ben Shahn\, and Gregorio Prestopino\, both who influenced Mueller’s work.  Mueller moved to Roosevelt with his wife Diana Lobl\, an attorney\, in the 1950’s.  They now have two grown children\, Rachel and Erik. \nMueller said that through Roosevelt he became “conscious of human inhumanity\, moral and social problems\, the depths of degradation\, and the heights of elegance over which human nature ranges”\, and he believes that artists should use their work to react to crises in society\, to encourage protest\, and to fight for economic\, political\, and human well-being. \nIn this exhibition\, all of the above are skillfully communicated. \nImage Caption: Classic Figure\, 1996\, Woodcut\, 23 1/2″ x 17 1/2″

SUMMARY:In the Mood: 1940s Musical Revue
DESCRIPTION:Much more than a concert\, IN THE MOOD presents a retro 1940s musical revue featuring the IN THE MOOD Singers and Dancers with the sensational String of Pearls Big Band Orchestra. The music and the arrangements are as authentic as it gets. This was a time that all America was listening and dancing to the same kind of music. \n\nIn the 1940s\, the combination of up-tempo big band instrumentals and intimate\, romantic ballads set the mood for a future filled with promise\, hope and prosperity. This was the time when the music moved the nation’s spirit!

SUMMARY:ETHEL featuring Kaki King: ...And Other Stories
DESCRIPTION:Known worldwide for transcending the limits of tradition\, the New York City-based string quartet ETHEL\, comprised of Ralph Farris (viola)\, Dorothy Lawson (cello)\, Kip Jones (violin) and Tema Watstein (violin)\, has for the past decade and a half actively\, aggressively\, joyfully\, adapted their epic skill-set to the presentation of rainbow-colored music of every style and description. Guitarist Kaki King\, recognized as one of “The New Guitar Gods” by Rolling Stone has\, likewise\, won an enthusiastic international following as her gutsy\, honest\, and astonishingly beautiful works seem to defy gravity. Brought together\, these celebrated sound worlds intermingle and swarm to create a glorious and inspired collaboration. \n … And Other Stories is an electrifying immersion in brilliant instrumental skill\, rich sonic adventures\, and flights of fantastic storytelling. The collaboration is anchored by a groundbreaking re-imagining of Bach’s masterful Brandenburg Concerto #6 and also includes works from ETHEL’s repertoire by Phil Kline and John Zorn. Original works by Kaki King and a world premiere composition for ETHEL & Kaki King by Serbian composer Aleksandra Vrebalov round out the program.

SUMMARY:33rd Annual Black Maria Film and Video Festival
DESCRIPTION:The films that become the centerpiece of the Black Maria Film and Video Festival honor the vision of Thomas Edison\, New Jersey inventor and creator of the motion picture.  It was his New Jersey studio\, the world’s first\, which he called the “black maria” (pronounced “mariah”) after which the festival is named.  The cutting edge\, cross-genre work that makes up the festival’s touring program\, has been traveling across the country every year for decades.  Black Maria focuses on diverse short films – narrative\, experimental\, animation\, and documentary – including those which address issues and struggles within contemporary society such as the environment\, public health\, race and class\, family\, sustainability\, and much more. These exceptional works ranging from comedy to drama to the exploration of pure form in film and video are not sidebars to feature length films\, they are the heart and soul of the festival. The program is free and all are welcome. Works which will be screened are unrated; some of the content is sophisticated and might not be suited to younger audiences. \nFilms:A Place of Spirit – Jury’s Choice6.5 min. by Natalie Conn and Jay Weichun\, Brooklyn\, NYThis is the story of Andrea Phillips\, a Staten Island based artist\, facing eviction from her home after 44 years.  Rather than center itself around the policy issues associated with Andrea’s eviction\, “A Place of Spirit” focuses on Andrea’s emotional and spiritual relationship to her eccentric\, unique and uncommon home.Something Like Whales – Jury’s Choice5 min. by Nora Sweeney\, Val Verde\, CA.In a dying industrial neighborhood in Cincinnati\, Ohio\, the Queensgate Train Yard pulses with life. A local worker describes the haunting sound emanating from the yard as ‘something like whales.’  This poetical film was shot in part with a camera obscura.  \nFor The Birds – You Be the Judge: Peoples’ Choice Award14 min. by Tara Atashgah\, Santa Monica\, CA. Inspired by a true story\, “For The Birds” follows a young Iranian girl as she is taken to the gallows to be hanged\, having been accused of adultery. In her final moments\, she imagines her fate in the hands of the surrounding townspeople.Close the Lid\, Gently: A Home Document Scan – Jury’s Choice5.5 min. by Ariana Gerstein\, Barton\, NY.A video made entirely from two home desktop scanners – one a photo scanner\, the other a refurbished low-end document scanner. Each has its own texture and sees the domestic environment in its own particular way\, one scan at a time. This piece deals with the deliberate misuse/re-purposing of commercial image producing machines for a slow\, individual\, low tech\, approach to the motion picture making process.The Apothecary – Jury’s Choice17 min. by Helen Hood Scheer\, Palo Alto\, CA.A moving portrait of beloved druggist\, Don Colcord\, in a rural Colorado outpost. Don is a man who operates the only pharmacy within 4\,000 square miles.  He navigates a profound divide between his public persona and his personal life.  To the community\, he is jovial and heroic.  At home\, he is impotent and isolated due to his wife’s disability.  “The Apothecary” explores notions of individual duty and obligation in the face of privately held grief and ambivalence. \nWise Choice or Lucky Guess – Directors’ Choice3.5 min. by Ellen Raines\, Fox Point\, WI.A recently deceased man has to make a choice between heaven and hell\, while sitting on an escalator.Rehearsal – Directors’ Choice 11 min. by Tom Rosenberg\, Austin\, TX.
