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.

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.

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.

The whispery vocal verses and Coldplay-inspired ivories of the band’s early singles “Boston” and follow-ups “Sweet and Low” and “Hey Now” vaulted to the Top 10 at AAA Radio. \nThen in 2011\, for the band’s self titled album on Epic\, Layus\, had a major surprise with a punchier\, more immediate sound that carried melodic currents of Soul Asylum\, Tom Petty\, Chris Isaak and Bruce Springsteen. Now the new album reconciles the various facets of the Augustana sounds through a succinct rhythmic attack and crisp production — with bright radio-ready anthems like “Ash and Ember” sharing the ride with introspective plaints like “Remember Me\,” under the flag of Layus’s unerring pop instincts. \nOpening the show will be Jim and Sam. With the aid of producer Lasse Marten(Lykke Li\, Peter Bjorn & John\, Chrissie Hynde) Jim and Sam will complete their debut album (recorded at the legendary Puk Studios in Denmark). \n  URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/augustana/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/Augustana-4-300dpi.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20141006 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20141012 DTSTAMP:20260403T144601 CREATED:20180725T204429Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180725T204429Z UID:40810102757-1412553600-1413071999@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:Spirit Week 2014 DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 6\, 2014: Shadow’s Birthday\nCome to Magill Commons Dining Hall at 6:30 pm to celebrate Shadow’s birthday. \nWednesday\, October 8\, 2014:  81st Founder’s Day Celebration and Convocation\nJoin the Monmouth University community in celebrating the life and founding of Monmouth University.  This year’s convocation address will take place in Pollak Theatre beginning at 2:15 pm.   Founders’ Day is a campus-wide event that celebrates Monmouth University’s founding as a junior college in 1933.  The first Founders’ Day was held in 1983 as part of the University’s 50th anniversary celebration and has since become a University tradition.

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 URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/aquila-theatres-wuthering-heights/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Artful Explorations of Gender,Arts at Monmouth,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/Wuthering-Heights1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20141008T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20141008T163000 DTSTAMP:20260403T144601 CREATED:20180725T204429Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180725T204429Z UID:40810102760-1412776800-1412785800@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:Founders' Day Live Stream DESCRIPTION:View the Founders’ Day event live starting at 2:15pm: http://new.livestream.com/monmouthlive/founders2014 URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/founders-day-live-stream/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/monmouth-welcome-710x355.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20141008T141500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20141008T141500 DTSTAMP:20260403T144601 CREATED:20180725T204434Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180731T133427Z UID:40810102784-1412777700-1412777700@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:81st Founders' Day Celebration and Convocation DESCRIPTION:Join the Monmouth University community in celebrating the life and founding of Monmouth University.
