Tuesday February 28 7:30 p.m. Anderson Auditorium
Lecture by Dr. Nick Capasso, "Understanding Land Art"
Since the late 1960s, many sculptors have engaged in dialogue with nature and its processes to create monumental works of Land Art. These works have addressed, among other things, ancient architecture, relationships between nature and culture, environmentalism, and the materialism of the art world. Dr. Nick Capasso, Deputy Director of the deCordova Sculpture Park, will discuss the major issues and artists associated with Land Art, from "Earthworks" artists Robert Smithson, Walter deMaria, and Nancy Holt, to contemporary site-specific deCordova projects by Andy Goldsworthy and Alan Sonfist.

Sha Sha Higby: "In Folds of Gold"
Performances Friday March 9 and Saturday March 10 at 8 p.m. (seating available at 7:30)
Lab Theatre, Basement of Bresee Hall at Hartwick College
ShaSha Higby approaches dance through the medium of sculpture, using the body as a framework for her art. Performances are "moving poems" through which nearly invisible political/ecological comments on our success, and our demise, are revealed. "In Folds of Gold" explores what it is to be human and alive within a whimsical journey of life, death, and rebirth. Ephemeral images evoke the passage of time and day, the shifting of the seasons. Using the manipulation of hand crafted materials, textures and exotic sculptural costume interwoven with puppetry, dance and intricate props, her work creates a journey in which movement and stillness meet. Shreds of memory lace into a drama of a thousand intricate pieces, slowly moving toward a sense of patience and timelessness.
Performances are free and open to the public, sponsored by a Foreman Institute for the Arts grant in support of the 2012 campus theme: The Human Question.

Saturday March 10: Workshop: "Slipper Theater" 1:30-4:30 p.m. Lab Theatre, Bresee Hall

Tuesday April 10th Lecture by John Gargano - Associate Professor of Art at The University of Louisiana at Lafayette. John is a sculptor whose work "stems from a fascination with the primary quality of Pre-Columbian pottery, mechanisms and forms of the human body and objects from the industrial world. These elements are intuitively mixed and mashed to generate universal forms that have familiarity and feel new, yet retain a link to the past and a hint of identity." The lecture is in Anderson 138 at 6 p.m. For further information contact Stephanie Rozene x4833 or rozenes@hartwick.edu.
