SUMMARY:Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light and Q&A with the Filmmakers
DESCRIPTION:Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light is a 2-hour documentary exploring the life and art of the most important woman artist of the 20th century – the ”Mother of Modernism.” In the 1920s\, O’Keeffe became famous for her paintings of flowers\, bones\, and the beauty of nature. She posed nude for shocking photographs by Alfred Stieglitz\, but denied that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s\, she emerged as an iconic role model for women. \nFollowing the screening\, Producer Ellen Casey Wagner and Director Paul Wagner will host a discussion to share insights into the making of the documentary and answer audience questions. \nIn 1989\, one year after they got married\, Paul and Ellen Wagner formed American Focus\,\ntheir non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of documentary films about America\nand her people. Since then\, they have released over thirty films\, including several feature\nfilms broadcast nationally on public television: Out of Ireland\, about the history of Irish\nemigration to America; Good Work\, about master craftsmen in the building arts; and Black\nin Blue\, about the four football players at the University of Kentucky who broke the color\nline in the Southeastern Conference. In 1999\, Paul and Ellen released Windhorse\, their award-winning dramatic feature film about young Tibetans and their struggle for freedom under the Chinese communist regime\, filmed secretly in China and Nepal. As a team\, Ellen is the president of American Focus and assumes the producing duties\, while Paul serves as the writer and director of their films. Prior to their formation of American Focus\, Ellen worked as a producer for WETA\, the public television station in Washington\, DC. \, and Paul was an independent filmmaker\, winning an Oscar and several Emmy Awards for his documentary work.

SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen – Hopper: An American Love Story
DESCRIPTION:A film by BAFTA award-winning director Phil Grabsky \n\n“An impressive biography”\nThe Guardian \nHopper’s work is the most recognizable art in America – popular\, praised\, and mysterious. Countless painters\, photographers\, filmmakers and musicians have been influenced by his art – but who was he\, and how did a struggling illustrator create such a bounty of notable work? \nThis new film takes a deep look into Hopper’s art\, his life\, and his relationships. From his early career as an illustrator; his wife giving up her own promising art career to be his manager; his critical and commercial acclaim; and in his own words – this film explores the enigmatic personality behind the brush. \nCombined with expert interviews\, diaries and a startling visual reflection of American life\,\nHopper – An American love story brings to life America’s arguably most influential artist. \n\n“A must-see”\nThe Spectator \n“An incredible document”\nMonocle \n \n

SUMMARY:Into the Wild\, Art Exhibit by Eileen Kennedy
DESCRIPTION:Artist Reception: Friday\, Sept. 26\, 6-8pm \nGallery Exhibit: September 1 – October 25\, 2025 \nEileen Kennedy’s narrative art explores the relationship between contemporary humans and the natural world. The artist holds a BFA from Pratt Institute. She also studied at the Arts Students League of New York\, the Hartford Art School\, and numerous workshops. \nKennedy emerged from Pratt in 1977 as an abstract painter; however\, within a few years the narrative urge brought her back to figurative work. She enrolled in night classes at the Art Students League to refresh her drawing skills and for the next two decades made life-scale\, figurative oil paintings and drawings influenced by the Flemish school\, especially Jan van Eyck and Rogier Van der Weyden. \nIn 2009\, she took some time out to explore egg tempera\, a medium that had enchanted her since she discovered the work of George Tooker while still in art school. She completed several workshops with contemporary egg tempera master\, Koo Schadler. Kennedy found this medium perfectly suited her linear style and love for detail. She soon gave away her oil paints and brushes. \nKennedy has exhibited throughout the mid-Atlantic region and beyond including the Brooklyn Museum\, Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art\, Monmouth Museum\, Widener University Art Museum\, Attleboro Arts Museum\, Painted Bride Art Center\, AIR Gallery\, Blue Mountain Gallery\, Monmouth University\, Williams Center for the Arts\, Manifest Center for the Arts\, Dacia Gallery\, Lore Degenstein Gallery and others. Her works have been featured in the New York Times\, Philadelphia Inquirer\, Newark Star Ledger\, American Art Collector Magazine\, Fine Art Connoisseur Newsletter\, Create Magazine and other publications. \nIn 1995 and 2022 Kennedy was awarded artist fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. In 2022 her work was included in the Lunar Codex Project\, which sent images of art from all over the world to the moon in 2024. Her work is included in the collections of the Yuko Nii Foundation\, Riverview Medical Center\, Pratt Institute and numerous private\ncollections. The artist lives and works in Toms River\, New Jersey. When not making\nart\, she plays mandolin in the Celtic trio\, The Kilkenny Cats. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen - The Danish Collector
DESCRIPTION:“This beautifully realised documentary showcases a treasure trove of some of the finest Impressionist artworks ever painted.”  Sydney Arts Review \nFor many years no-one was interested in the art of the Impressionists. Artists like Monet\, Degas and Renoir were vilified\, attacked\, and left penniless as a result. \nThen\, something remarkable happened. A new breed of collectors emerged and\, before long\, they were battling to acquire any work by these new\, radical artists that they could find. Amongst them was the visionary Danish businessman Wilhelm Hansen. It was an extraordinary moment in art history; full of drama\, intrigue and subterfuge. \n“Films such as… The Danish Collector are an invaluable step in ensuring that art is shared widely”  FilmInk \nSome collectors we may recognise and some we may not\, but Hansen amassed a remarkable collection housed at his summer home\, Ordrupgaard\, on the outskirts of Copenhagen. Exhibition on Screen tells his fascinating story and\, with exclusive access to a sell-out exhibition at London’s Royal Academy\, brings the extraordinary collection to the big-screen in glorious high-definition. \nFrom Hansen’s beautiful house and gardens at Ordrupgaard to the streets of bohemian Paris\, this film takes you on a journey to discover some of the best examples of 19th-century French art ever collected. \nDirected by David Bickerstaff

SUMMARY:EOS Encore - Michelangelo: Love & Death
DESCRIPTION:The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us\, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David\, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force\, the Sistine Chapel ceiling\, still leave us breathless today. \nSpanning his 88 years\, Michelangelo – Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence\, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life\, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy. \nThrough expert commentary\, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words\, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in 2025 to celebrate this iconic artist’s 550th birthday. \nSculptor\, painter\, architect\, poet\, genius – discover why Michelangelo is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of all time.

SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen - Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers
DESCRIPTION:200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works\, the National Gallery\, London is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time\, but perhaps the most misunderstood. \nThis film is a chance to reexamine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process\, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers explores the artist’s years in the south of France\, where he revolutionized his style. Van Gogh became consumed with a passion for storytelling in his art\, turning the world around him into vibrant\, idealized spaces and symbolic characters. \nPoets and lovers filled his imagination; everything he did in the south of France served this new obsession. In part\, this is what caused his notorious breakdown\, but it didn’t hold back his creativity as he created masterpiece after masterpiece. Explore one of art history’s most pivotal periods in this once-in-a-century show.

SUMMARY:Ocean Bodies\, A Solo Exhibit by Kimberly Callas
DESCRIPTION:Monmouth University’s Ice House Gallery presents Ocean Bodies\, a powerful solo exhibition by multimedia artist Kimberly Callas. The exhibition will open on February 6\, 2025\, with an evening reception from 5:30 to 7:30 PM\, and will run through April 4\, 2025. Ocean Bodies offers an immersive exploration of humanity’s interconnectedness with the ocean\, drawing on symbols\, archetypes\, and ecological narratives to invite contemplation and action. \nThrough sculptures\, large-scale drawings\, and mixed-media works\, Callas examines the “crisis of meaning” at the heart of the climate crisis and advocates for a shift in consciousness toward an “ecological self.” This concept\, central to her work\, reflects humanity’s integral role within nature rather than apart from it. In Ocean Bodies\, she uses water-based materials\, such as dyed fabrics\, India ink\, and water-soluble graphite\, to invoke the sea’s physical presence while exploring the symbolic depth of whales\, the horizon\, and the ocean itself as metaphors for the psyche and cosmos. \nAmong the featured works is a series of 10-foot mixed-media drawings inspired by historical nautical charts\, which pair psychological journeys with the migration of critically endangered North Atlantic right whales. Complementing these works are colorful life-size figurative sculptures and reliefs\, 3D-printed using bio-filament\, that further explore themes of renewal and interconnection. Through these works\, Callas poses urgent questions about the loss of meaning\, wisdom\, and biodiversity in the Anthropocene. \n“The ocean has a unique way to connect with people in an immediate and emotional way. Science and data can only tell us so much; art can speak to each of us in a way that is both uniquely personal and universal. Having Kimberly as the Urban Coast Institute artist-in-residence provided inspiration for some of the artwork in the Ocean Bodies exhibit\, which will in turn inspire others. She was also able to share her creative process with her students\, conducting lectures and using her art and sculpture as a pathway to ‘discovering the ecological self.’ This work reminds us that the worlds of art and science are two sides of the same coin\,” said Tony MacDonald\, J.D.\, Director\, Urban Coast Institute. \nCallas created much of the work in Ocean Bodies during an artist residency with Monmouth University’s Urban Coast Institute\, with additional research conducted at the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) and an artist residency at the Arts Quarter Budapest. This body of work seeks to merge art\, science\, and archetypal symbols to foster a deeper understanding of humanity’s place within the natural world and inspire meaningful environmental action. \nAbout the Artist \nKimberly Callas is a multimedia artist\, sculptor\, and the lead artist of the Social Practice project Discovering the Ecological Self. Her work delves into the human/nature relationship\, focusing on the concept of the ecological self. Recently\, she has incorporated cutting-edge technologies\, such as 3D printing with bio-filaments and CNC\, into her life-size sculptures. Art New England described her series Portrait of the Ecological Self as “unforgettable.” \nCallas’s work often involves community engagement. With her Discovering the Ecological Self social practice project\, featured in The Huffington Post\, she has led workshops across the U.S. and internationally. Her art has been showcased in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide\, earning her numerous awards and grants\, including the Pollination Project Grant\, the Urban Coast Artist-in-Residence award\, and the Puffin Foundation Grant. Her accolades include First Place in Sculpture at the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club’s Annual Exhibit in New York City. \nCallas’s recent exhibitions include the International New Media Exhibit at the CICA Museum in South Korea\, Crossing Boundaries: Art and the Future of Energy at the Pensacola Museum of Art\, and Ocean Swimmers (Entanglement)\, a solo exhibition in Budapest. In May 2025\, she will unveil a public art commission for the Lambert Castle Renovation in Paterson\, New Jersey. \nCallas holds an MFA from the New York Academy of Art and a BFA from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Monmouth University and maintains studios in Maine and New Jersey. \nEvent Details: \nExhibition: Ocean Bodies\nLocation: Ice House Gallery\, Monmouth University\, 400 Cedar Ave # 600\, West Long Branch\, NJ 07764\nOpening Reception: February 6\, 2025\, 5:30–7:30 PM\nExhibition Dates: February 6\, 2025 – March 23\, 2025\nGallery Hours: Mon-Fri\, 10am-5pm\, \nFor additional information\, please contact Scott Knauer\, 732.923.4786  or visit https://kimberlycallas.com/. \n

SUMMARY:Ocean Bodies\, A Solo Exhibit by Kimberly Callas
DESCRIPTION:Monmouth University’s Ice House Gallery presents Ocean Bodies\, a powerful solo exhibition by multimedia artist Kimberly Callas. The exhibition will open on February 6\, 2025\, with an evening reception from 5:30 to 7:30 PM\, and will run through April 27\, 2025. Ocean Bodies offers an immersive exploration of humanity’s interconnectedness with the ocean\, drawing on symbols\, archetypes\, and ecological narratives to invite contemplation and action. \nThrough sculptures\, large-scale drawings\, and mixed-media works\, Callas examines the “crisis of meaning” at the heart of the climate crisis and advocates for a shift in consciousness toward an “ecological self.” This concept\, central to her work\, reflects humanity’s integral role within nature rather than apart from it. In Ocean Bodies\, she uses water-based materials\, such as dyed fabrics\, India ink\, and water-soluble graphite\, to invoke the sea’s physical presence while exploring the symbolic depth of whales\, the horizon\, and the ocean itself as metaphors for the psyche and cosmos. \nAmong the featured works is a series of 10-foot mixed-media drawings inspired by historical nautical charts\, which pair psychological journeys with the migration of critically endangered North Atlantic right whales. Complementing these works are colorful life-size figurative sculptures and reliefs\, 3D-printed using bio-filament\, that further explore themes of renewal and interconnection. Through these works\, Callas poses urgent questions about the loss of meaning\, wisdom\, and biodiversity in the Anthropocene. \n“The ocean has a unique way to connect with people in an immediate and emotional way. Science and data can only tell us so much; art can speak to each of us in a way that is both uniquely personal and universal. Having Kimberly as the Urban Coast Institute artist-in-residence provided inspiration for some of the artwork in the Ocean Bodies exhibit\, which will in turn inspire others. She was also able to share her creative process with her students\, conducting lectures and using her art and sculpture as a pathway to ‘discovering the ecological self.’ This work reminds us that the worlds of art and science are two sides of the same coin\,” said Tony MacDonald\, J.D.\, Director\, Urban Coast Institute. \nCallas created much of the work in Ocean Bodies during an artist residency with Monmouth University’s Urban Coast Institute\, with additional research conducted at the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) and an artist residency at the Arts Quarter Budapest. This body of work seeks to merge art\, science\, and archetypal symbols to foster a deeper understanding of humanity’s place within the natural world and inspire meaningful environmental action. \nAbout the Artist \nKimberly Callas is a multimedia artist\, sculptor\, and the lead artist of the Social Practice project Discovering the Ecological Self. Her work delves into the human/nature relationship\, focusing on the concept of the ecological self. Recently\, she has incorporated cutting-edge technologies\, such as 3D printing with bio-filaments and CNC\, into her life-size sculptures. Art New England described her series Portrait of the Ecological Self as “unforgettable.” \nCallas’s work often involves community engagement. With her Discovering the Ecological Self social practice project\, featured in The Huffington Post\, she has led workshops across the U.S. and internationally. Her art has been showcased in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide\, earning her numerous awards and grants\, including the Pollination Project Grant\, the Urban Coast Artist-in-Residence award\, and the Puffin Foundation Grant. Her accolades include First Place in Sculpture at the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club’s Annual Exhibit in New York City. \nCallas’s recent exhibitions include the International New Media Exhibit at the CICA Museum in South Korea\, Crossing Boundaries: Art and the Future of Energy at the Pensacola Museum of Art\, and Ocean Swimmers (Entanglement)\, a solo exhibition in Budapest. In May 2025\, she will unveil a public art commission for the Lambert Castle Renovation in Paterson\, New Jersey. \nCallas holds an MFA from the New York Academy of Art and a BFA from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Monmouth University and maintains studios in Maine and New Jersey. \nEvent Details: \nExhibition: Ocean Bodies\nLocation: Ice House Gallery\, Monmouth University\, 400 Cedar Ave # 600\, West Long Branch\, NJ 07764\nOpening Reception: February 6\, 2025\, 5:30–7:30 PM\nExhibition Dates: February 6\, 2025 – April 27\, 2025\nGallery Hours: Mon-Fri\, 10am-5pm\, \nFor additional information\, please contact Scott Knauer\, 732.923.4786  or visit https://kimberlycallas.com/. \n

SUMMARY:Mike Richison\, Electo Electro 2024
DESCRIPTION:Monmouth University’s Prof. Mike Richison (Graphic Design) will perform his Electo Electro 2024\, updated for the 2024 election cycle. This interactive installation combines audience participation\, music\, news footage\, and politics. The project allows participants to remix videos from political rallies\, debates\, and news in a structured sixteen beat loop. The touchscreen design is a parody of the system employed by the Accuvote\, a voting system that is difficult to audit and susceptible to hacking. The parody continues into the format of the installation itself which will resemble a polling station. \nRichison will introduce his project\, perform\, and then open up his event for discussion. If you cannot make it to Richison’s live performance\, stop by the Ice House Gallery to see his project on display for the semester. For more on the project\, see Richison’s discussion of it in the Journal of Network Music and Arts. \nFor more information\, contact the co-chairs of ArtNOW\, Prof. Amanda Stojanov at astojano@monmouth.edu or Prof. Dickie Cox at rcox@monmouth.edu

SUMMARY:I Wish That I Had Spoken Only of It All
DESCRIPTION:Sheryl Oring\, Performance of I Wish to Say | 11am-1pm | Rebecca Stafford Student Center Patio \nArtist Talk | 4:30-5:30pm | Great Hall Auditorium\nExhibition Opening Reception | 5:30-7:30pm | DiMattio Gallery\, Rechnitz Hall \nWith backgrounds in journalism and fine art\, Sheryl Oring began her ongoing project I Wish to Say in 2004 from a concern that many people’s voices were not being heard. She started to take dictation from the public about what they wanted to say to the (next) President. Dressed as a 1960s secretary with a typewriter\, she records whatever participants say onto a postcard\, making copies with carbon paper. During larger events\, a secretarial bank takes dictation. Oring mails the postcards to the White House and exhibits copies. To date she has typed over 4241 postcards. In this artist talk\, Oring will discuss I Wish to Say\, now in its 20th year\, alongside her other socially engaged art projects. \nThis talk is in connection with the exhibition I Wish That I Had Spoken Only of It All: 20 Years of Sheryl Oring’s I Wish to Say\, which is on display in Rechnitz Hall’s DiMattio Gallery for the Fall 2024 semester. A reception and performance of I Wish to Say in the DiMattio Gallery will follow this talk. \nAbout the Artist \nSheryl Oring examines critical social issues through projects that incorporate old and new media to tell stories\, examine public opinion\, and foster open exchange. Using tools typically employed by journalists (the camera\, the typewriter\, the pen\, the interview\, and the archive)\, she builds on her experience in her former profession to create installations\, performances\, artist books\, and internet-based works that address themes of citizenship\, free expression\, first amendment rights\, story-telling\, and activism through art. Oring received her MFA from the University of California at San Diego. She is currently a board member for the National Coalition Against Censorship. She has held several academic positions\, most recently serving as the Dean of the School of Art at University of the Arts in Philadelphia. \nOring has shown her work at the O1SJ Biennial; Bryant Park in Manhattan; the Brooklyn Public Library; and the Jewish Museum Berlin. She has also presented work at Art in Odd Places in New York; the Art Prospect festival in St. Petersburg\, Russia; Encuentro in São Paolo\, Brazil; and the International Symposium on Electronic Art in Dubai. She has completed public art commissions at the San Diego and Tampa International Airports. Collecting institutions include the Library of Congress; Museum of Modern Art; Tate Britain; Bibliothèque nationale de Luxembourg; and many others. \nFor more information\, see: https://www.sheryloring.org/\nOr contact Dr. Corey Dzenko\, cdzenko@monmouth.edu \nThis exhibition was made possible with funding from the Edna Wright Andrade Fund of the Philadelphia Foundation and from the Diversity Innovation Grant Program coordinated by the Office of the Provost and Intercultural Center at Monmouth University. Thank you also to ArtNOW\, the Helen Bennett McMurray Endowed Chair of Social Ethics\, and Monmouth University’s Department of Art and Design and Department of Curriculum and Instruction.

SUMMARY:Mike Richison’s Election Collection: 2004-2024
DESCRIPTION:Mike Richison’s Election Collection: 2004-2020 showcases 20 years of design and video art inspired by the presidential election cycle. Richison began working with this topic in 2004 when he created a short video loop of George W. Bush drinking water during the debates. This evolved into performances and interactive video projects that break down language into musical and abstract elements. \nThe culmination of these explorations is Electo Electro 2024\, an interactive installation that enables participants to produce techno-inspired beats using video clips of presidential candidates. This project combines iMacs\, iPads\, custom software\, and the housing from decommissioned Diebold AccuVote TS voting booths. Users can remix videos from political rallies and debates in a structured sixteen beat loop. An iPad-based touchscreen design parodies the system employed by the AccuVote\, a voting system that was difficult to audit and susceptible to hacking. \nAs a parody\, the format of Richison’s installation resembles a polling station\, while the branding and graphic elements of the project hearken back to vintage electronic devices. The AccuVote debuted in the early 2000s as the poster child of the Help America Vote Act. After its widespread adoption\, a group of researchers discovered a long list of vulnerabilities that can lead to stolen votes\, lost votes\, or a failure of the computer itself. The project deals with expectation\, failure\, and vulnerability \nOn the opening day and throughout the run of the exhibit\, Richison will perform and demonstrate this project. His goal is to “encourage users to examine media and become individuals who can control media\, rather than be controlled by it.” \nThis event is being held in conjuction with ArtNOW’s Mike Richison\, Electo Electro 2024 on October 4 at 10:15 AM.  \nAbout the artist\, Mike Richison: Mike Richison is a multimedia artist and an Associate Professor at Monmouth University\, where he teaches motion graphics. He employs a variety of approaches to artmaking\, including sculpture\, graphic design\, and interactive video. His work utilizes found objects\, such as turntables\, voting booths\, and scavenged video clips as well as the Max MSP Jitter programming environment. Richison has exhibited at Autonomous Cultural Centre Medika (Zagreb\, Croatia); Figment NYC and Art in Odd Places (New York); and Peters Valley School of Craft and Morris Museum (New Jersey). His projects have received attention in outlets such as Leonardo\, VICE\, FACT Magazine\, Hyperallergic\, WABC-TV Channel 7 News New York\, and The Washington Post. Before moving to New Jersey in 2007\, he lived in the Detroit\, MI\, area for several years.

SUMMARY:I Wish That I Had Spoken Only of It All: 20 Years of Sheryl Oring’s I Wish to Say
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Corey Dzenko\, Associate Professor of Art History\nWith backgrounds in journalism and fine art\, Sheryl Oring began her ongoing project I Wish to Say in 2004 from a concern that many people’s voices were not being heard. She started to take dictation from the public about what they wanted to say to the (next) President. Dressed as a 1960s secretary with a typewriter\, she records whatever participants say onto a postcard\, making copies with carbon paper. During larger events\, a secretarial bank takes dictation. Oring mails the postcards to the White House and exhibits copies. To date she has typed over 4241 postcards. \nFor this exhibition\, MU’s DiMattio Gallery will chronologically display hundreds of I Wish to Say postcards\, photographs\, and videos of performances\, along with larger prints of select postcard texts. A timeline on the wall will note the presidential elections that span Oring’s project. The empty wall space for 2024 will fill as MU student-typists add postcards they collect during the current election season. The other half of the gallery will showcase a selection of Oring’s related projects that all involve a question\, active listening\, and a typewriter for a secretary to record dictation. These include Collective Memory (September 2011)\, recorded memories of the 9-11 attacks; Travel Desk (2014)\, travel stories that were then carved into a wooden table now installed in the San Diego International Airport; and other artworks. \nMulti-part programming will include an artist’s talk to showcase Oring’s timely and inclusive artmaking practice. MU students will participate as typists at numerous live events throughout the exhibition’s duration. MU faculty from various disciplines will hold public teach-ins in the gallery about topics related to Oring’s project. Finally\, MU is collaborating with nearby Neptune and Long Branch school districts so that high school students can dictate their own postcards to the future president. As an educator\, Oring has involved younger constituencies\, empowering the next generation of participants in both US democracy and artmaking. \nOring performs I Wish to Say: Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\, 11am-1pm\, Rebecca Stafford Student Center Patio \nArtist talk: Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\, 4:30-5:30pm\, Great Hall Auditorium\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\, 5:30-7:30pm\, DiMattio Gallery\, Rechnitz Hall \nAbout the Artist\nSheryl Oring examines critical social issues through projects that incorporate old and new media to tell stories\, examine public opinion\, and foster open exchange.

SUMMARY:The Cardboard Show
DESCRIPTION:Monmouth University\, in conjunction with Parlor Gallery is thrilled to kick off the year with a captivating art exhibition that transcends traditional boundaries. Prepare to immerse yourself in a world of limitless imagination at the much-anticipated Cardboard Show\, an extraordinary celebration of free-form and experimental creativity. \nThe Cardboard Show is the result: a collection of large-scale sculptures and forms in three distinct voices\, united by medium\, friendship\, and a commitment to a playful approach to creating art for its own sake. These three artists sequestered themselves in Parlor Gallery last January and opened the doors to the public a month later to share their fantastical and unique cardboard creations in an immersive type of presentation. For the continuation of this project\, the artists will follow the same practice of collaborating in the same space at the same time\, building these wonderous creations on site starting January 16th\, 2024\, and will continue to construct and design the exhibition until the opening night on February 9th\, 2024. \nDemo and Meet & Greet:\nThursday\, March 21st. Demo from 3-4 and continuation of the Meet & Greet from 4 – 6. \nOpening Night Reception: Friday\, February 9th from 6-9pm. In addition to the opening reception\, there will also be an artist meet & greet and informal artist talk during the exhibition. \nUnveiling the Magic:\nThe Cardboard Show is a testament to the power of collaboration. Three visionary artists—Porkchop\, Bradley Hoffer\, and Jason Stumpf—invite you to witness the evolution of their fantastical creations. Having sequestered themselves in Parlor Gallery last January\, the artists opened their doors to the public a month later\, sharing the enchantment of their unique cardboard world. \nCreating Wonders in Real-Time:\nAs part of the ongoing project\, these artists will once again unite under one roof\, infusing life into their cardboard wonders starting January 16th\, 2024. Witness the magic unfold as they construct and design this extraordinary exhibition\, culminating in the grand opening on February 9th\, 2024. Join us on a journey where art transcends boundaries\, fueled by the collaborative spirit of three local artists and friends. In addition to the cardboard sculptures\, each artist will also be exhibiting a selection of each of their respective work. \nAbout the Artists: \nBradley Hoffer is a multi-disciplinary artist\, designer\, carpenter\, and maker of original and preconceived concepts. Living and working most of his life in NJ; he received a BFA in sculpture from Mason Gross school of Visual Art at Rutgers. Bradley’s distinct style/work is recognizable using continuous line along with a balance of colors. For this show at Monmouth University\, he is exploring a new complex level of layers in three dimensions. Cardboard is the medium that is being used to accomplish the new sculptures. Bradley is also revealing a collection of paintings that have been in the works for the past 6 years. \nJason Stumpf is multidisciplinary artist based in Asbury Park\, NJ. A woodworker for over 30 years\, his work ranges from sculpture and furniture to cabinetry and wooden boats. His work is influenced by a fascination with structure\, minimalism\, and materiality.  Jason furniture designs often take inspiration from archaic forms and techniques. Those influences are expressed through a minimalist\, modern design ethos. His sculptures stretch that practical design aesthetic into abstracted forms and ideas. \nPorkchop is a multi-disciplinary artist from New Jersey. He has an MFA in Sculpture from VCU and a BFA in Fine Arts from University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Porkchop has established a great presence through his magnificently scaled murals\, including the extensively documented scenes he composed along the Asbury Park Boardwalk in conversation with the sea. Narrative is a prevalent theme in his work. Denizens and visitors to Monmouth County have been enjoying Porkchop’s vibrant and colorful artwork and murals for years\, but in most recent manifestation\, the artist strips his works of his normally vivid palette and instead employs intentionally ritualistic and graphic monochromatic designs and symbols accented with Gold. Influenced by ancient history\, mythology\, religion and literature\, the artist Porkchop sources out\, manipulates\, and casts familiar objects. He then painstakingly recreates their surfaces giving them a new existence into a dark and curious storyline. The application of paint into his intentional ritualistic designs followed by flawless coats of glossy resin is an act of pure precision and care\, like the work of a surgeon or mortician. There are often unexpected but pleasant marriages of imagery and object. By stripping these pieces of his usual vibrant palette\, Porkchop’s choice of black & white emphasizes the narrative in the works\, which becomes difficult to ignore. Presenting these pieces in symmetry creates an alter that pulls the stories altogether.

SUMMARY:Inviting Motion  (Sabbatical project Wobbe F. Koning)
DESCRIPTION:Inviting Motion\nBe invited by motion. What will you give up by giving in? \nInviting Motion is an interactive Virtual Reality (VR) experience with themes of enticing\, luring\, attention grabbing\, and having to give something up when we give into attractions. \nTalk: 11:45am-12:30pm | The Great Hall Auditorium\nDemo: Experience Inviting Motion – 12:35pm-1:30pm & 2:50pm-4:30pm | Demo: IDM Lab (Plangere 135)\n\nThe Experience \nAfter going through a simple onboarding process to calibrate and tweak the experience\, you\, the user\, are initially tasked with finding a human form in the noise of particles that surround you. After your attention is grabbed\, you will be invited\, and then teased a little. You can enjoy exploring the interactions\, but what are you giving away? Are you being scrutinized? \nThe experience generally last about 5 to 10 minutes \nAbout the Project \nAs part of his Sabbatical from Monmouth University\, Wobbe F. Koning returned to his alma mater The Ohio State University and worked with the community at the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) to produce this VR experience. Motion Capture was used to create the attention grabbing and inviting motions\, which are sparsely represented (using a limited amount of points) but are still instantly recognizable as human. \nThe project was a collaboration\, and took shape as a result of the interactions with the ACCAD community. \nBios:\nWobbe F. Koning is an award winning animator and digital artist often combining 3D Computer Animation and video with audio to create mostly linear single channel works. Next to creating 3D printed stop motion animations\, he has been exploring Virtual Reality (VR) as a medium\, experimenting with different approaches while relying on his experience as filmmaker. Though not in his nature\, he has been letting go of the total control the creator has over linear storytelling\, and in stead embraced the interactive nature of VR. \nEarlier work includes on-stage videos for dance performances\, and multi screen installations. At Monmouth University he teaches animation in the Department of Art & Design. \nRaven Serenity Glover received their bachelors degree in Simulation\, Animation\, and Gaming at Eastern Michigan University. There\, they gained skills in 3D animation and character modeling. In their undergraduate research symposium project\, Dynamic Storytelling with Animation\, Raven Serenity explored the potential advantages animation has over traditional filmmaking in telling dynamic narratives. As part of the MFA program in Digital Animation and Interactive Media at The Ohio State University\, Raven Serenity hopes to further expand the utilization of animation to promote self-awareness and self-expression.

CRESSON have always been interested in a broad range of art topics\, styles and techniques and has followed her heart and not limited herself to just one or two topics\, series or styles. \nAncient cultures and architecture\, botanicals\, maps & ephemera\, the landscape\, weather systems and climate\, insects\, birds\, Asian culture\, kimonos\, bonsai design\, endangered species\, marine life and the seashore – these are all topics that have interested her for many years and she returns again and again to them for inspiration. Using these as inspiration and metaphor her interest is also in the exploration of human interaction and the natural world – the navigation between what is hidden and what is revealed. \nRecently she has concentrated her explorations into the connection between geometry and Nature. She has explored this by juxtaposing hard edge geometric design form\, scientific illustrations\, and pattern against organic landscape shapes\, portions of sketches\, and textured paint. \nMany of the artist’s pieces combine drawing\, type\, painting\, graphic design\, digital imagery\, and original photography. A majority of her prints and images over the years have reflected interests in nature and landscape\, legend\, myth\, storytelling\, and spirituality. They complement a 35-year interest in anthropology and archaeology with particular interest in the cultures of Egypt\, Japan\, China\, South American Mayan and the Anastazi. \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pat Cresson – Taj Mahal\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pat Cresson – Vintage Fish\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pat Cresson – Blue-Lagoon-Kimona-Series-Green-Frog\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pat Cresson – Prevailing Winds\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Pat Cresson – Moose and Elk\n				\n		\n\n“Cresson has often taken a collage approach in her creative work and this is clear in both paintings and prints. In painting\, the artist’s use of oils\, wax\, and mixed media enhances both the collage look of her work and her atmospheric approach to color. In printmaking\, her use of chine-collé and the collograph process heightens the variety of textures and colors in her work. Whether one looks at the paintings and the prints on display here\, or the drawings and digital images available on the artist’s website\, there are opposing areas of abstract color\, a wide array of textures and transparencies\, and recognizable images (or in some cases\, the vague suggestion of images). Color is one of the artist’s strengths\, and her use of it ranges from the poetic to the dramatic. The paintings\, which tend to be more abstract than the prints\, contain some of her most ethereal color combinations. Line is another strength\, especially in the prints that utilize the inherently linear process of intaglio etching.” \nDr. Kate Ogden\, Professor of Art History\, Stockton State University\, NJ \nThis work was supported\, in part\, by several Grant-in-Aid-for-Creativity awards and the Urban Coast Institute at Monmouth University.

SUMMARY:Jacob Landau: The Prophetic Quest
DESCRIPTION:An art exhibition that explores a range of works over a long career\, created by the American artist\, humanist\, and teacher Jacob Landau. The exhibition features a selection of some eighteen works. All are from Monmouth University’s extensive collection of Jacob Landau’s work\, comprising over 300 prints\, drawings\, and paintings. The collection was gifted to Monmouth University in 2008 by the Jacob Landau Institute of Roosevelt\, NJ. \nReception: Thursday\, April 13\, from 4– 6 pm \nAbout Jacob Landau:\nBorn in Philadelphia in 1917\, Landau launched his career as an illustrator\, winning national prizes at age 16 and a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art. He went on to have over sixty one-person shows\, featuring a wide range of drawings and paintings. The recipient of numerous awards\, including Guggenheim and National Arts Council grants\, many of his works are featured in permanent collections\, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A master teacher\, he retired as professor emeritus at New York’s Pratt Institute. In 1996\, he was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts by Monmouth University. \nFor Jacob Landau “art enables us to see the world whole and undivided.” And at its center lies the artist’s desire for justice in this world. The current exhibit reveals that his entire career was driven by such a quest from an early work with conte crayon\, “Two Women in Market” and his “Mine Strike at Auchel” through an “Einstein” portrait\, as well as watercolor pochoirs of “Malachi” and “Isaiah” who call for justice and whose bold colors and sinuous lines derive from their respective stained-glass windows that Landau created for the Keneseth Israel Synagogue in Elkins Park\, PA (just outside Philadelphia)\, two of ten windows\, each towering 5’x20’\, that flank the prayer hall. \nLandau’s Isaiah and Malachi watercolors exhilarate\, even as they confront the viewer. We realize that the prophet does not predict the future but reveals the present\, witnessing injustice\, condemning it\, and proclaiming alternatives—actions. Clearly\, Isaiah’s words pierced the artist’s heart: “Seek justice\, relieve the oppressed.” \n And we see Landau’s struggle in his quest as a citizen of our world and as an artist in a series of sketches and preparatory drawings for his portrait of Malachi as well as those of Amos\, Hosea\, and Jeremiah. We are also given an image of a world without justice\, Ezekiel’s Vison of Dry Bones\, and a glimpse of a promised new world to come\, New Jerusalem. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Night Sea Journey - An Artist Talk by Associate Professor Kimberly Callas
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor Kimberly Callas will give an artist talk on the artwork she created during a two-year Monmouth Fellowship\, where she served as the artist-in-residence for the Urban Coast Institute. During the fellowship\, Callas created a series of large-scale (10′) drawings that connect images of the ocean\, ocean archetypes\, and the human body. Inspired by historical nautical charts hand-drawn and mounted on muslin\, Callas’ drawings are made of graphite\, dye\, and India ink on paper and dyed muslin. They are then mounted on canvas. In the drawings\, Callas uses latitude\, longitude lines\, and depth charts to ‘specifically place’ the work in places that follow the Right Whales’ annual migration through the Jersey Shore. The drawings include symbols like the Whale\, Fish\, Boat\, Net\, and Horizon Line\, and archetypes like ‘the night sea journey\,’ a journey navigated by stars to a new shore.\n \nKimberly Callas is a multi-media artist\, sculptor\, and the lead artist of the Social Practice project Discovering the Ecological Self. She uses digital emerging technologies with traditional hand and clay modeling techniques to create life-size figures that combine the human body with symbols and patterns from nature. The figures are drawn or cast in plaster or bronze\, 3D printed or routed out of wood with a CNC. Ground pigments\, beeswax\, and natural materials such as wasp paper or birch bark are often used to finish the work. \nHer work has been exhibited internationally in galleries and museums and has received national and international grants and awards. Recent awards include a Pollination Project Grant\, an Urban Coast Artist-in-Residence\, and a Monmouth University Faculty Fellowship. In 2020\, she received 1st Place Award in Sculpture at the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club’s Annual Exhibit in New York City. Other recent exhibits include the 2019 International New Media Exhibit at the CICA Museum in South Korea\, Summer Exhibition at Flowers Gallery in New York City\, 9×12 at Dual Galleria in Budapest\, Hungary and Crossing Boundaries: Art and the Future of Energy at The Pensacola Museum of Art\, Pensacola\, FL. Her work has been published in Post Human\, New Media Art 2020 by CICA Press and has appeared in the Huffington Post and Art New England. Callas received her MFA from the New York Academy of Art and her BFA from Stamps School of Art at the University of Michigan. She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Monmouth University\, in West Long Branch\, NJ and maintains a studio in both Maine and New Jersey. \n***This lecture can also be viewed virtually through Zoom – please CLICK HERE to register to receive the zoom link*** \n

SUMMARY:Jacob Landau: The Prophetic Quest
DESCRIPTION:Jacob Landau: The Prophetic Quest\, An Exhibit of Selected Drawings and paintings by renowned American artist\, humanist\, and teacher Jacob Landau.  The selected works on display were completed by the artist in preparation for his stained glass masterpiece\, The Prophetic Quest\, a series of ten monumental stained glass windows housed in the Keneseth Israel synagogue\, just north of Philadelphia. In addition to the artwork\, copies of the recently published book; The Prophetic Quest: The Stained Glass Windows of Jacob Landau\, will also be on hand for review. Copies of the book are also available for sale at the University Bookstore. \nDesigned by the renowned American artist Jacob Landau\, The Prophetic Quest encompasses ten masterful abstract pieces of stained glass that depict the lives and words of the biblical prophets\, each towering nearly twenty-five feet high and spanning five feet across.

Personal reflections written by artists\, art historians\, poets\, clergy\, and congregants about their experience of The Prophetic Quest round out the volume with new ways to view and appreciate Landau’s creation. \nBorn in Philadelphia in 1917\, Landau launched his career as an illustrator\, winning national prizes at age 16\, and a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art. He went on to have over sixty one-person shows\, featuring a wide range of drawings and paintings. The recipient of numerous awards\, including Guggenheim and National Arts Council grants\, many of his works are featured in permanent collections\, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

SUMMARY:Sam Cusumano
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual Arts-Engineering talk/performance/workshop with Sam Cusumano. Cusumano is an Engineer for the Arts living in Philadelphia working with students\, artists\, musicians\, and curators to create educational interactive electronic devices and installations. As part of his creative practice\, he has connected plants and fungi with synthesizers to make music. Biodata Sonification is the process of representing invisible changes in plants to create music. By detecting microcurrent fluctuations across the surface of a plant’s leaf\, these changes are used to generate MIDI notes which can be played through a synthesizer or computer to create sound. In this virtual presentation Sam Cusumano will explain methods used to tap into the secret life of plants\, showing how to translate data for making music\, and discuss the implications of interpreting biodata. Audio examples of Biodata Sonification will be performed live using analog synthesizers\, digital audio workstations\, and synth apps along with a Snake Plant\, large Monstera\, and various Cacti. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. \nFree and open to the public\, but registration is required. \nThis event is being recorded for educational and archival purposes and it may be posted on our website. By participating in this presentation\, you give permission for Monmouth University to record the presentation for University purposes. You understand that your name\, likeness\, voice and statements may be recorded. If you do not wish to be recorded\, a recording of this presentation will later be available upon request\, and you can contact Amanda Stojanov\, Assistant Professor of Digital Media (astojano@monmouth.edu) with any questions you may have regarding the presentation.

SUMMARY:Electo Electro 2020 - Interactive Workshop and Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:With Mike Richison \nSpecial Guest: Patrick Murray\, Monmouth University Polling Institute \nARTIST TALK:\nWednesday\, October 7\, 6:00 PM \nWORKSHOP:\nWednesday\, October 7\, 7:30 PM\nAttendees who are planning to participate in the 7:30 workshop are kindly requested to download and install a demo version of max msp jitter. This is not required. https://cycling74.com/downloads\n \nElecto Electro 2020 is an interactive installation combining audience participation\, music\, news footage\, and politics. The project allows participants to remix videos from political rallies\, debates\, and news in a structured sixteen beat loop. The touchscreen design is a parody of the system employed by the Accuvote\, a voting system that is difficult to audit and susceptible to hacking. The parody continues into the format of the installation itself which will resemble a polling station. There will be an artist talk at 6:00 followed by a Max MSP Jitter workshop at 7:30 pm. \nMike Richison is a multimedia artist and an Assistant Professor at Monmouth University in New Jersey where he teaches motion graphics. He employs a variety of approaches including sculpture\, graphic design\, and interactive video. His work utilizes found objects such as turntables\, voting booths\, and scavenged video clips as well as the Max MSP Jitter programming environment. Mike has exhibited at Autonomous Cultural Centre Medika (Zagreb\, Croatia); Figment NYC and Art in Odd Places (New York); and Peters Valley School of Craft and Morris Museum (New Jersey). His projects have received attention in outlets such as Leonardo\, Noisey (Music by VICE)\, FACT Magazine\, Hyperallergic\, WABC-TV Channel 7 News New York\, and The Washington Post. Before moving to New Jersey in 2007\, he lived in the Detroit\, Michigan area for several years. \nThese events are FREE and open to the public\, but please register if you plan to attend.\nThey are virtual only. A Zoom link will be provided when you register. \nThis event is presented in collaboration with Galleries and Collections and the Monmouth University Polling Institute.
