Events held in conjunction with Print Dialogue
Days
Grab your lunch, bottled water and an hour and join Appalachian
State University faculty and Turchin Center for the Visual Arts
staff for an adventure in art. Lunch and Learn is a series of
programs providing opportunities to learn more about the work
in current TCVA exhibitions or related subjects. It’s informal
and a fun, friendly way to explore art. Programs begin in the
TCVA’s Lecture Hall, ground floor, West Wing. Check at the
front desk for directions. The October Lunch and Learns are:
October 17, noon-1pm: Multiplicity and Originality — What
is an original print?
Join Department of Art faculty member April Flanders as she discusses
the concept of an original print. In addition, she will talk about
the different processes used by printmakers. The prints included
in the Mayer Gallery Exhibition Prints! Pow! Wow! A Conversation
in Print will serve as a reference for the discussion. This lecture
and the exhibition support Print Dialogue Days, a symposium hosted
by the printmaking area of Appalachian’s Department of Art.
October 31, noon-1pm: Mel Stanforth: These Folks Ain’t
Company
Join students from the Department of Art’s Visual Arts Guide
course for a look at the work of Mel Stanforth who taught at East
Carolina University from 1969 until 2001. Stanforth has earned
acclaim both as a teacher and as an artist, and inspired numerous
young artists over the last three decades…. He continues
to inspire.
The TCVA also features My Time with Magritte — Suzi Gablik,
October 4, at 6:30pm, in the Turchin Center Lecture Hall, West
Wing. Acclaimed art critic and author Suzi Gablik reads from her
most recent autobiographical book Living the Magical Life: An
Oracular Adventure. This engaging memoir offers a glimpse into
her life and work, including eight months living with acclaimed
surrealist artist Rene Magritte and his wife. After the reading,
Gablik participates in an informal discussion related to her time
spent in the Magritte household. This program supports the Department
of Theatre and Dance production This is Not a Pipe Dream.
