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. 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:The Big Event - Day of Community Service
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, Nov. 9\, 2024 \n10 a.m. to 2 p.m. \nGiving back to those who need help is what the Big Event is all about. \nThe Big Event is the single largest community service project that takes place at Monmouth University every year. Every fall\, approximately 200 to 400 members of the Monmouth University community sign up to be a volunteer at one of the 10 to 25 Big Event work sites in the towns that surround campus. \nThe Big Event has become somewhat of a national phenomenon at a number of colleges and universities throughout the United States. It originated at Texas A&M University in 1982 when 6 students felt the need to give something back to the communities of College Station and Bryan Texas. \nDuring the Spring 2000 semester\, members of Monmouth University’s Student Government Association attended the Conference of Student Government Associations (COSGA) at Texas A&M where our Senators learned all about the Big Event. They decided it was a program that should be brought back to the Monmouth community. \nTwenty four years later\, the Monmouth University Big Event has become a signature program for SGA. The Big Event is held in fall and anyone affiliated with Monmouth University is encouraged to become a Big Event volunteer. If you are a member of a club\, organization\, fraternity/sorority\, athletic team\, department\, office\, or all by yourself\, we hope you will want to join the Big Event volunteer team. \nWould you like to become a Big Event volunteer? Contact SGA by calling 732-571-3484 or email SGA@monmouth.edu.
