Project Description  

 

September 10–13, 2003
Larry Kirkwood
The Body Image Project:
Beauty as a Relative Concept.
Williams Center Lobby Installation
Since 1993, Kirkwood has made more than 300 plaster and resin body casts that have become starting points for discussions about self-image, eating disorders, and the concept of “beauty.” This lobby installation is cosponsored with the Counseling Center, and presented in conjunction with the performances of Headlong Dance Theater's Britney’s Inferno.


 October 15–November 25, 2003
Bodo Korsig
Present and Past
Recent woodcuts, photographs and objects.

Korsig is a professor of art at the Academy of Fine Art, Trier, and Lafayette's first Max Kade Center for German Studies artist-in-residence. His recent fascination with neuroscience has led him to use German and English phrases, such as wir erbrachen uns, Swallow Your Pride, and LOVECANCER, and abstract forms that attempt to visualize brain function response to them.

Eighth Biennial Roethke Humanities Festival Exhibition
March 22–May 7, 2004
Meredith Monk: Archeology of an Artist 2

A pioneer in what is now called “extended vocal technique” and “interdisciplinary performance,” Monk creates works that thrive at the intersection of music and movement, image and object, light and sound, in an effort to discover and weave together new modes of perception. This exhibition includes a reinstallation of Silver Lake With Dolmen Music, originally created in 1981; a film loop of six works spanning the period from 1966 to 1994; and photo panels that document the history of Monk’s extraordinary career.
