October 3 - 22, 2004
Michael Schael
Title: "Four Elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Form"
Reception: October 7, 5-7 p.m.
Gallery Talk: 5:30 p.m.
"From the time I became interested in clay, I was drawn to wood firing. This attraction led me through the States and Europe before I settled outside Madison in Cambridge, Wis. I bring to the work in this exhibition 14 years of production work and close to 20 years of firing wood kilns. For me, classic form 'caressed' by the sensuous touch of the flame creates objects that are an inviting expression of the four elements."
Oct. 24 - Nov. 12, 2004
Flo Oy Wong
Title: "(ART)iculation: Stories of Ancestry, Identity, and Culture"
Public Lecture: Nov. 4, 4:30-5:30 p.m., Anderson Auditorium, Predolin Humanities Center, 1000 Edgewood College Dr., Madison
Reception following lecture: 5:30-7 p.m.
California-based installation and mixed-media artist Flo Oy Wong uses photographs, rice sacks, rice, beads, sequins, and suitcases to create art from her life as a first-generation American of Chinese descent. Her visual stories of ancestry, identity, and culture focus on the little-known drama of ordinary people-her parents, her husband, and herself-who are an integral part of the United States of America.
Nov. 14 - Dec. 3, 2004
Kelly Parks Snider
Title: "Dialogues with Silence"
Reception: Nov. 20, 5-7 p.m.
Gallery Talk: 5:30 p.m.
"My paintings express the dimensions, the quirks, the many facets I detect in a subject. I rely on pastels and acrylic paint, but I incorporate whatever other materials help me convey the traits I think are worth noticing, celebrating, even puzzling over. Sheep's wool, pieces of fabric, gravel, newspaper...these are some of the materials that I combine with pastels in order to draw attention to my subject. What I am after is a forceful expression of the profound connection I feel to another person, an idea, or a dimension of my life. My hope is that the viewers will feel that connection just as powerfully."
December 5 - 17, 2004
Maria Liebl
Title: "Senior Exhibit: On Simplicity and Beauty"
Reception: December 9, 5-7 p.m.
Gallery Talk: 5:30 p.m.
"'May go with luck whoever believes to be astute / because he has been able to accumulate objects, / poor mortal that soulless and brutal / has lost the love and has lost the respect for himself. / On the other hand to stop love / is to pretend to stop the universe. / Who carries love assumes his pain / and neither the sun or his reverse will stop him.' -- Silvio Rodriuez"
January 9 - February 4, 2005
Marilyn Annin
Title: "Materials Figured"
"My work consists of a series of sculptured garments with each acting as a metaphor for a specific attitude or custom of our culture. I focus on garments as portraiture, as commentary, and as satire."
February 6 - 25, 2005
Laurel Lueders
Title: "And Now . . . ?"
Reception: February 10, 5-7 p.m.
Gallery Talk: 5:30 p.m.
"Using video installations and digital photographs, I reflect upon the recent political climate in the United States, both as I have observed in this country and while living abroad. Specifically, I react to a post-9/11 world, where fear, uncertainty, and paranoia pervade; where surveillance, loss of civil liberties, and media cover-up become a cultural norm. I question the reliability of physical evidence, particularly as we enter the unknown territory of a digital age."
February 27 - March 18, 2005
Mayumi O. Takayama
Title: "Fragments of Imagination"
Reception: March 3, 5-7 p.m.
"What we know sets limits on what we actually come to see and experience. In this sense, we cannot see and experience things as they are, but do so only through the interpretive lens that we have come to wear. My paintings in this show play with and trouble the taken-for-granted correspondence between the signifier and the signified, inviting you to the world of infinite signification."
March 20 - April 8, 2005
Mike Wodyn
Title: "Ideas on a Plane - Paintings About Paint"
Reception: April 6, 5-7 p.m.
Gallery Talk: 6 p.m.
"When I begin a painting, it is not my intention to create the illusion of something on the canvas, such as a figure or landscape. Instead, the painting itself is the object, and the colors, textures and shapes created by paint on the canvas are the subject matter. Much like a carpenter who doesn't try to disguise the fact that he works with wood, I am not trying to hide the fact that what I am presenting is paint on canvas."
April 10 - 29, 2005
Student Exhibition
Reception: April 13, 5-7 p.m.
A self-juried exhibition of works in a variety of media by Edgewood College art students. Reception co-sponsored by the Edgewood College Alumni Association.

In 1998 Matthew Shepherd was kidnapped, beaten, and left to die tied to a fence outside Laramie, Wyo., because he was gay. In response to this hate crime, the Tectonic Theater Project conducted interviews with the community and created this deeply moving theatrical collage, which explores the depths of hate and fear and the heights of compassion and community. "An amazing piece of theatre...leaves us sadder, wiser, and tentatively more hopeful...." - NY Post
