Exhibition Opportunities!!

Hello Art and Design:

In just a couple of weeks, we will be collecting work for two juried student art exhibition opportunities in the Rueff Galleries. Please encourage your students to enter!

We are collecting entries February 8 – 10, 2016, in the Patti and Rusty Rueff Galleries.

A&D Undergraduate Exhibition Quick Points

·         Enter up to three works in any medium, but work must be created as part of an A&D course

·         2D works do not have to be framed for entry, but will need to be “exhibition ready” for exhibit, if selected

·         $700 in scholarship awards will be presented in the following areas: Three in Fine Art, Three in Design, One in Photography. Honorable mention awards will be presented as well.

·         Exhibition dates are February 23 – March 24, 2016, in the Patti & Rusty Rueff Galleries

·         Details are available in the gallery and online:https://www.cla.purdue.edu/academic/vpa/rueffgalleries/Undergraduate/index.html

Westwood Quick Points

·         Undergraduate *and* graduate students are eligible to enter

·         Enter up to four works in any medium; work does not have to be created as part of an A&D course

·         2D works do not have to be framed for entry, but will need to be “exhibition ready” for exhibit, if selected

·         Work will be on display in Westwood, the home of Purdue’s president

·         Work is on display for six months, and Westwood is not a public exhibition space. Artists will be invited to the house for an exhibition reception at some point during the exhibit.

·         Details are available in the gallery and online:https://www.cla.purdue.edu/academic/vpa/rueffgalleries/Westwood/index.html

We will be collecting work for both competitions at the same time this year, and students may enter and exhibit the same piece in both shows (there will not be a schedule conflict). Motivated by numbers? Last year, the Undergraduate Exhibition had 107 entrants submit 235 pieces and 110 works were accepted. Westwood averages about 50 entrants per show, each entering 2-3 pieces with about 50 works accepted. Let’s increase those entry numbers and make some great shows!

Today's class is canceled due to the instructor's emergency. 

We will do what was planned for today on Monday. 

Thank you.

Left to Our Own Devices?
By Monika Sziladi

The rapid development of wireless communication, social media, reality television, crowdsourcing and the proliferation of photography by the general public have had a clearly discernible impact on human behavior. Posing, posting, sharing, self-broadcasting, commenting, texting, and multitasking are replacing conversation and reflection. Narcissism and anxiety are among the most common types of psychological disorders affecting people today. The figures in my images, like most of us, are caught constrained by mobile devices and image consciousness. While navigating the professional and social competition of our economically divided and ecologically precarious world, our ubiquitous practice of (self-) promotion generates sufficient noise to render us invisible and ultimately turn us into interchangeable voices, inaudible within the crowd. On the other hand, our recorded and broadcast self-expression, mined by big data, threatens our privacy and agency over our choices. Digital technology transforms our traditional sense of public and private. In parallel, the sense of space and perspective in my work alludes to a collapse between the physical and the virtual. As the borders disintegrate, I aim to create images that simultaneously produce humor, awkwardness, liberation, and suffocation, with the intention of replicating and enhancing the unsettling sense of being exposed in an increasingly virtual world.
