DENTON'S THIN LINE FILM FEST ANNOUNCES 2012 LINEUP

Texas' international documentary film festival brings an array of talent and entertainment to Denton February 10th-20th, 2012

Denton, TX (January 18, 2012) -Thin Line Film Fest, Texas' only international documentary film festival, today announced their 5th annual festival lineup.  This year more than 80 stellar feature and short films from around the globe will be screened at the historic Campus Theatre and other venues in downtown Denton, February 10th-20th, 2012.

This year's scheduled features films cover an array of topics including the biographies of inspirational and revolutionary figures, a behind-the-scenes look at teenage bullying in BullyCam, an examination of the indie rock scene in China, and the challenges, struggles and uplifting accomplishments of both humans and animals from all parts of the world.

In addition, Thin Line Film Fest will showcase a number of documentaries, acclaimed by critics and included on the Oscars shortlist.  Buck follows the life of acclaimed 'horse whisperer' Buck Brannaman who recovered from years of child abuse to become a well-known expert in the interactions between horses and people. Battle for Brooklyn follows the story of Daniel Goldstein as he struggles to save his home and community from being demolished to make way for the densest real es tate development in U.S. history.  Jane's Journey provides unprecedented access to Dr. Jane Goodall on her mission to save our endangered planet. Other presentations include, Nostalgia for Light, winner of the International Documentary Association's Best Documentary, The Other F Word, which shows what happens when some of punk rock's most famous leading men embrace fatherhood, Seeing in the Dark, a PBS documentary, and Who Took the Bomp? Le Tigre on Tour.

"I started Thin Line Film Fest five years ago in Denton because documentary film gives a unique perspective to often overlooked subjects.  Documentaries can make the viewer see things or think about things in a completely new way," said Joshua Butler, founder of Thin Line Film Fest.  "Denton is the perfect setting for this type of festival because it shares the same independent and creative spirit. I'm excited how this year's festival is coming together and can't wait to kick things off February 10th."

Last year, The New York Times dubbed Thin Line Film Fest as "one of the things to do" that week which featured the Texas premiere of Troubadours, fresh from Sundance Film Festival, as well as This Way of Life and Enemies of the People ; both off the 2010 Oscar shortlist for Best Documentary. The 2012 festival promises to be bigger, better and more revered - already having received nearly twice the number of films submitted to be considered than in the previous year.

The full Thin Line Film Fest 2012 Lineup can be found now at www.thinlinefilmfest.com.

Doctoral candidate Laura Lee McCartney's research brief and accompanying images outlining her dissertation research was 1 of 8 chosen to illustrate chapters within the new book, Arts-Based Research Primer, authored by James Haywood Rolling, to be published by Peter Lang. This new introductory research text on arts-based research will be detailing dissertations and other graduate level research either successfully proposed, in progress, or recently defended. Her brief will be highlighted within a chapter of the textbook as an exemplar of arts-based research methodology.

Jeremy Lupe had his paper accepted for "Art and Struggle," a graduate symposium presented by the MA Program in Contemporary Art, Design and New Media Art Histories at OCAD University, Toronto, Canada. This year's symposium explores how the term "struggle" contains both liberating and oppressive connotations. The resulting tension has long been considered an inherent aspect of art production. Struggle manifests in various forms, whether political, cultural, economic, or personal. While the "struggling artist" has been a problematic art historical trope, the symposium seeks to revisit the issue of struggle in an unromanticized, contemporary vein within the visual arts.

Congratulations go out to Art Education MA student Jessica Nelson. She has just accepted a position at the Dallas Museum of Art as the Center for Creative Connections Gallery Coordinator. In the position she will support and promote exhibition-related projects and programs in the C3 gallery and works with museum visitors of all ages. Programs in C3 focus on the C3 core values of innovation, experimentation, creativity, collaboration and visitor focus. The center bridges our everyday experiences of looking with the transformational experiences of seeing, creating, and connecting deeply with works of art.

"When a ‘feminist' artist is not a feminist: challenging Cindy Sherman's constructed position in discourse," Courtnee Sower's paper for the graduate art history methods seminar, was accepted for the 16th annual New Frontiers in Graduate History Conference in Toronto at York University, Canada's third-largest university and its leading interdisciplinary research and teaching institution. Courtnee developed her research on Cindy Sherman's photograph, Untitled, 1982, as part of the seminar's partnership with the UNT Art Galleries in Collections, Cultures and Collaborations, an exhibition series that fosters student research to advance art history knowledge about university and regional collections.

Morehshin Allahyari's Your Night/My Day Project, as proposed for an assignment in the graduate art history art and technology since 1900 seminar, was accepted for a scholarly presentation in Come Together: Digital Collaboration in the Academy and Beyond at Queen's University, Ontario. The conference seeks to explore the relationship between digital technology and academic, activist and artistic collaborations. Your Night/My Day, which began in the fall of 2010, is a collaborative project curated by Morehshin and Eden Ünlüata to excavate the process of cultural exchange- or lack thereof - between Iran and the United States. The project employs digital media to create an intercultural dialogue and exhibition. Works it generates highlight the dysfunctional nature of cultural exchange between the two cultures. In addition, Morehshin's panel, "Self-Exile, Self-Censorship" was accepted for a scholarly presentation in Drawing the Line(s): Censorship & Cultural Practices, the 47th Annual Comparative Literature Conference at California State University Long Beach. This interdisciplinary gathering of scholars, artists, and practitioners from all walks of the arts and the academy, aims to consider censorship in a broad scale across time periods, disciplines and languages.

"The Adaptation of Myths with the Changing Times," Sandra Hernandez's proposed paper from the graduate art history art and technology since 1900 seminar, was accepted for presentation by the annual national conference of the 2012 Popular Cultural Association and American Culture Association in Boston.

"The Semiotics of a Smile: Signs of Failure Along Dallas Hike & Bike Trails," Jeff Joiner's proposal for a paper from an assignment in the graduate art history art and technology since 1900 seminar, was accepted for publication as a chapter in the forthcoming book, Signs and Symbols in Workplace and Public, Annie W.Y. Ng and Alan H.S. Chan, Eds (Nova Science Publishers in 2013). Jeff's research originated and developed under the guidance of Michael Gibson in the Design Research Methods course that is part of CVAD's Design: Innovation Studies MFA program.

Dear colleagues,
I'm so proud to be able to let you know about some of the recent
international and national professional successes facilitated through
CVAD's Art History classrooms. While this is in no way an exhaustive
list, I wanted to forward along these wonderful instances of good news:

From an international "competition [that] was especially fierce this
year," CVAD and Honors College undergraduate art history major Briana
Camp's paper, "Expressively Mapping the Molly: Emotional Geography and
Visual Representation in the Print Culture of Eighteenth-Century London,"
was selected for presentation at the Social History Society's Annual
Conference 2012, to be held at the University of Brighton, UK. The Social
History Society was founded in 1976 to encourage the study of the history
of society and cultures by teaching, research, publication and other
appropriate means. Since then it has organised a conference annually and
acted to represent the interests of social and cultural history and of
social and cultural historians both within higher education and in the
wider community. The society is based in the UK but is concerned with
social history internationally and it all its broadest forms. During
spring 2011 Briana developed her research in Denise Baxter's Senior Art
History Seminar . This academic year she is advancing her research as an
Honors College Undergraduate Thesis guided by Dr Baxter and Jennifer Way.
Briana was awarded funds from the UNT Student Government Association's
B. Craig Raupe Travel Grants to partially offset travel costs associated
with attending the conference.

"When a 'feminist' artist is not a feminist: challenging Cindy Sherman's
constructed position in discourse," Courtnee Sower's paper for the
graduate art history methods seminar, was accepted for the 16th annual
New Frontiers in Graduate History Conference in Toronto at York

interdisciplinary research and teaching institution. Courtnee developed
her research on Cindy Sherman's photograph, Untitled, 1982, as part of
the seminar's partnership with the UNT Art Galleries in Collections,
Cultures and Collaborations, an exhibition series that fosters student
research to advance art history knowledge about university and regional
collections.

Morehshin Allahyari's Your Night/My Day Project, as proposed for an
assignment in the graduate art history art and technology since 1900

Digital Collaboration in the Academy and Beyond at Queen's University,

On Saturday, December 3,  CVAD Professor Vincent Falsetta will be involved in two simultaneous receptions in Dallas. One is a solo show of his  index cards at the Reading Room (see below) and the other is part of a three-person show featuring Falsetta and two CVAD alumni.  “Recurrence Relation: Three Generations of 500X”-  will feature the works of Vincent Falsetta, Paul Booker and Brian Spolans curated by Leslie Murrell  for the 500X Gallery. This show will include Falsetta's  color studies and two paintings from the 1970s when he was an early  member of 500X.  CVAD faculty member Elaine Pawlowicz will also have a solo show at the 500X gallery opening that evening.

 
The Index Cards: Vincent Falsetta will open at The Reading Room on Saturday, December 3 from 7 to 9 pm and continue through December 31. There will be an artist talk on Saturday, December 10 at 4 pm.
 
"Process as content is for me a form of indexing the moment",  Falsetta says about his practice. The index cards date back to the 1980's. There is a format that he follows. First the work is described in detail: dimensions, materials, when the canvas was stretched, then title and any dedication. There is usually but not always a thumbnail of the work, sometimes a diagram or chart, and questions that he poses to the work and to himself.  He writes, deliberately, with a crow quill pen and ink, thus slowing the process down and making it more than just documentation or a journal entry. There are over 600
mixed- media cards.
 
Falsetta is Professor of Painting/Drawing at the College of Visual Arts and Design, University of North Texas. His work is represented by Conduit Gallery in Dallas and has been shown at the Museum of Southeast Texas, Nancy Margolis Gallery (New York), Anya Tish Gallery (Houston), the Bluecoat (Liverpool, UK), Galveston Art Center, El Paso Museum of Art and OK Harris Gallery (New York).  Falsetta was a finalist for the 2007 Hunting Art Prize. This December his work can be seen at two other venues: 500X Gallery and Conduit.
 
The Reading Room is a project space dedicated to the intersection of the visual and literary arts and is located at 3715 Parry Avenue. It is open by appointment: Karen Weiner at 214-952-4109.

CAMCSI (The Contemporary Arab and Muslim Cultural Studies Institute) announces its Spring Semester Film Series:

February 15th: Shirin -- http://iii.library.unt.edu/record=b3867107~S12
"Ostensibly an adaptation of a 12th century Persian poem about a young princess courted by two men, a nobleman and an artist, Kiarostami never shows us the film in question. Instead, we are invited to reconstruct the narrative from dialogue and sound, as well as the emotions that flash across the faces of a rapt, mostly female audience."--Container.
 
March 14th: Edge of Heaven -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0880502/
A Turkish man travels to Istanbul to find the daughter of his father's former girlfriend.
 
April 11th: The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0294806/
Kamran is a 12 year old boy in the present day who discovers that his ancestor is the 11th Century Mathematician, Astronomer, Poet of Persia, Omar Khayyam. The story has been passed down in his family from one generation to another, and now it is his responsibility to keep the story alive for future generations. The film takes us from the modern day to the epic past where the relationship between Omar Khayyam, Hassan Sabbah (the original creator of the sect of Assassins) and their mutual love for a beautiful woman separate them from their eternal bond of friendship. Filmed almost entirely on location in Samarkand and Bukhara, Uzbekistan

All presentations will be in Chilton Hall 111c, the Media Library

These children and teens, often from third world countries, have been orphaned, neglected, or disadvantaged. This semester, our art education students received photos of kids from Ecuador and they worked from these photos to create portraits. The portraits will be delivered to the Ecuadorian children and teens on February 1^st. The goal of the project is to inspire caring, global friendship, and a positive sense of self. The portraits will be on exhibition for three weeks, November 15- December 6, 2011. http://www.memoryproject.org/

WHAT: College of Information Colloquium Series Presents Michael Nelson, October 24, 2011 at 6:pm in DP 185.

TITLE: Memento: Time Travel for the Web

DESCRIPTION: Despite being the primary medium for our cultural and scientific record, the Web remains surprisingly ephemeral.  Many pages change over time, and most of those changes are often lost forever. A lucky few manage to are retrained for posterity, perhaps in wiki "history" lists or web archives like the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. In both cases, the prior versions have URIs that are protocol-wise disconnected from the URI of the current resource.  Indeed, the lack of temporal capabilities in HTTP prevents getting to an archived resource on the basis of the URI of its original. This turns accessing archived resources into a significant discovery challenge for both human and software agents, navigating a series of site-specific, ad-hoc solutions.  The Memento solution adds a temporal dimension to HTTP capabilities applied in a novel way to add the temporal dimension. The result is an inter-archive framework in which archived resources can seamlessly be reached via their original URI: protocol-based time travel for the Web.

BIO SKETCH: Michael L. Nelson is an associate professor of computer science at Old Dominion University.  Prior to joining ODU, he worked at NASA Langley Research Center from 1991-2002.  He also spent the 2000-2001 academic year as a post-doc at SILS, UNC at Chapel Hill.  He is a co-editor of the OAI-PMH and OAI-ORE specifications and is a 2007 recipient of an NSF CAREER award. He has developed many digital libraries, including the NASA Technical Report Server.  His research interests include repository-object interaction and alternative approaches to digitalpreservation.  More information about Dr. Nelson can be found at: http://www.cs.odu.edu/~mln/

UNT senior named finalist in international Adobe competition

DENTON (UNT), Texas - University of North Texas senior Brady Jackson has been named a finalist in the mobile design category in the international Adobe Design Achievement Awards, which had more than 4,600 submissions and is billed as “the world's premier design, film, and interactive media competition for higher education students and faculty.”
Jackson’s project is one of three entries chosen as finalists in the mobile design category. As a finalist, Jackson has earned a free trip to the awards ceremony at the 2011 International Design Alliance Congress Oct. 24 – 26 in Taipei to find out if he’s a winner.
Jackson designed a concept for an iPad app that would allow people to donate sugar-free confectionery to diabetic camps for kids. The project was inspired by his communication design classes with Karen Dorff and Michele Wong Kung Fong at UNT.  The app is not functional – at least not yet – but Jackson created a video that shows how the app would work.
“You go on there and you can make your own profile. You select however much you want to donate, and once you have donated a certain amount, the company will send you however much you qualify for back, so you get a little bit of reward,” he said.
Earning a coveted spot as a competition finalist “validates that I’m doing what I should be doing,” Jackson said.
Jackson worked as an intern designing T-shirts this summer at Nautica in New York, where he designed shirts for New York and Malibu triathlons.
Jackson came from Amarillo to UNT in his freshman year to pursue a degree in communication design from the College of Visual Arts and Design.
“I learned a good work ethic -- just being very efficient and getting things done quickly and being able to communicate and elaborate on whatever ideas I have,” he said.
Visit www.bradyjackson.adaagallery.com/ to view Jackson’s project and add comments to Jackson’s profile.

CAMCSI will be screening My Name is Khan in conjunction with our Muslim Cultures Film Series on Wednesday October 19th in Chilton Hall, Media Library Room 111c.
 
We would be very appreciative of any form of advertising that you could provide to help make this event successful and get as much student and community participation as possible!

The UNT Office for University and Community Affairs and the College of Arts & Sciences are partnering with Alcatel-Lucent to hold “The UNT Innovation Challenge.”  This is an exciting student-oriented competition designed to involve UNT students in shaping an idea into a successful mobile/iPad app.  
 
Students won’t be creating software. They will be focusing on strategic/business planning, clarifying items  such as the app’s purpose, its target set of users, competition, and impact.  Students from any discipline are encouraged to participate.  I want to emphasize that last sentence - this is a competition for students from any department and college.  The "idea" is the key.  The competition is to help our students learn how to move a great idea towards successful implementation.
 
This a terrific opportunity for UNT students to pitch their ideas, network with fellow students and entrapreneurs, and showcase the great ideas coming from UNT.  CAS plans to host  three prep sessions for the student teams to get them ready to present their innovation/business plans to DFW’s business and technology leaders on November 19 at the Alcatel-Lucent Gravity Centre.   The prep sessions will feature presentations by DFW innovation leaders.  I welcome the opportunity to partner with your colleges on the prep sessions or other aspects of The Innovation Challenge.  The winning teams will be awarded new iPads courtesy of Alcatel-Lucent.
 
All the UNT teams will also have access to Dallas Startup Weekend, which will be co-located with The Innovation Challenge at the Alcatel-Lucent Gravity Centre.  More information about The Innovation Challenge is at www.cas.unt.edu/innovation.
 
This Thursday, September 29 at 5:30pm students are invited to the EESAT atrium to learn more about the competition, share their ideas and/or join a team.  Please encourage your students to attend and feel free to accompany them (we're serving pizza and drinks).
 
This is an important opportunity to provide our students the experiences they need in the rapidly changing job market.  Thanks for helping make this event successful.

Erick Swenson is a Dallas-based artist who graduated from UNT in 1999 with a BFA in Painting and Drawing, and he is currently represented by James Cohen Gallery in New York. His work was included in the 2004 Whitney Biennial. He has exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery in London, the UCLA Hammer Museum, the Shanghai MOCA, the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne, Switzerland. His works are in the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the Fort Worth Modern. In a recent Art Papers review, Felica Feaster writes- "There is heartbreak beneath the gorgeously slick surfaces and the rock-and-roll edge of Erick Swenson's art. This odd combination generates conflicting emotions: enrapturement at all that sexy, juicy technique, then despair at the vast gaping loneliness of existence that the Dallas, Texas-based sculptor summons up with his potent work."

Photographic Book Publishing Primer for the 21st Century:
6 p.m. Sept.14 (Wednesday)
Art Building Room 313
Lecture
 
9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Sept. 15 – 16
The Forum, Willis Library Room 140
Workshop
 
A Photographic Book Publishing Primer for the 21st Century features a public lecture, graduate studio visits, and a two-day workshop at UNT’s Willis Library by Melanie McWhorter, influential writer, curator, consultant, book division manager of Photo-eye Company, and co-founder of Finite Foto online magazine. Books have longstanding and acknowledged importance in the visual arts, extending the reach of artistic practice both geographically and temporally by presenting bodies of artwork independently of specific exhibitions. The inclusion of visual material with accompanying texts creates a multi-layered experience in viewing artworks. Photographic books exert widespread influence on the discussion surrounding historic and contemporary trends. Books such as Robert Frank’s The Americans (1955), Ed Ruscha’s Twenty-Six Gasoline Stations (1963), Bill Jenkins’ New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape (1975), and Paul Graham’s 12-volume Shimmer of Possibility (2007), all represent profound focal points for key moments in photographic history. Now, the book publishing industry is responding to tremendous technological change that includes self-published books on demand, electronic books, and the Internet. McWhorter’s lecture will have a special focus on photography book publishing.
 
Organized by Photography professors: Dornith Doherty and Paho Mann, and sponsored by the UNT College of Visual Arts and Design, the Photography Program, and the UNT Libraries.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Effective fall term 2012, in addition to the university admission requirements, students wishing to major in any program in the College of Visual Arts and Design must meet minimum academic requirements to be classified as a pre-major. Admission to the college through this process does not guarantee acceptance into your chosen major as several programs have entry reviews and all have midpoint reviews that must be passed in order to complete the program. For entry review details click here. For details on program reviews please go to the program page and review the curriculum sheet provided there.

University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design graduate student Naomi S. Adams earned an award for Most Innovative Use of the Medium at the Quilt National 2011, a biennial exhibition of art quilts from artists in 22 states in the U.S. and 13 countries. Her quilt was one of 85 juried into the exhibition out of more than 1000 entries.
 
Her award-winning quilt, Greek, was created from multiple quilts with shades of green dyed batting in the interior, she said. She cut the quilts into pieces, bent and folded the pieces to make letter shapes, and used adhesive to attach them to the backing quilt.
 
“Greek speaks to my fascination with communication struggles in relationships,” she wrote in her artist’s statement. “Our individual and shared experiences and influences affect how we understand and convey meaning. I am interested in exploring how constant change in our lives influences how we emotionally process emphasis, content, and context. I am intrigued with the process of creating, deconstructing, and then redefining a new composition from the parts of the whole to communicate the depth of our complex and evolving relationships.”
 
She earned an $850 prize sponsored by Friends of Fiberart International. Her quilt will be on view through Sept. 5 at the Dairy Barn Arts Center in Athens, Ohio.  Adams is seeking a master of fine arts degree from UNT. Learn more about her work at http://killerbeedesigns.com

For Immediate Release
New episode of the Peabody-Award Winning PBS series CRAFT IN AMERICA To Air Nationwide Tuesday, May 24 at 8pm*
(Los Angeles, CA)    The next installment of the Emmy nominated and Peabody Award winning documentary series Craft in America - a filmed journey to the history, artists and techniques of our nation’s rich craft culture - will air nationally on PBS at 8pm* on Tuesday, May 24, 2011.
Craft in America promotes and advances original handcrafted work and inspires people of all ages to pursue their own creativity. Audiences explore issues of identity, history, philosophy, ancestry, cultural exchange, repression and freedom. Through these explorations, viewers gain a greater understanding of our nation’s complex heritage.
This new episode, MESSAGES, looks at the ways many craft artists go beyond skill to personal and political expression. They use craft to tell a story, prove a point, or bring attention to issues. Often their work is passionate and provocative. The artists selected for Messages express many different interests and points of view, but they have one thing in common: their skill and creativity are of the highest level. Wisconsin glass artist BETH LIPMAN

explores the symbolism of 17th century still life paintings to express the fragility that exists in a world of excess. New Mexico santero CHARLES M. CARRILLO uses authentic materials to combine historic religious subject matter with contemporary culture. Baltimore bead artist JOYCE J. SCOTT

learned quilting and beading from her mother and draws from references as wide-ranging as Africa and comic books to focus on issues such as race and stereotyping. New Orleans jewelry artist and sculptor THOMAS MANN

is famous for his “Techno-Romantic” designs. He created Storm Cycle, a series of wall panels that document the untold stories in his beloved city after Hurricane Katrina.
The Craft in America series is the result of years of advocacy, research and filmmaking by Executive Producer Carol Sauvion. “Craft is once again proving its relevance as people return to the handmade,” says Sauvion. “In this episode, artists are using their hands to create objects that express their thoughts.”
Special advance screenings will be held in the cities and towns in which Messages was filmed, as well as at dozens of community venues nationwide that hosted screenings in previous seasons. Ancillary projects include museum exhibitions, the Random House book Craft in America: Celebrating Two Centuries of Artists and Objects, web material containing hours of additional video and interactive learning materials, and a free-to-the-public Study Center in Los Angeles offering artist talks, exhibitions, workshops and a library of resources on the history and techniques of craft.

Art Education MA student Jessica Nelson and Ph.D. student Mary Nangah will be working as interns at the Rachofsky House in Dallas this summer.

Two of the Royal College of Art's most important collections have been
made available to the general public through a new digitisation
project which is accessible through the Visual Arts Data Service
(VADS).

The Record of Student Work is a rare collection, containing over
30,000 slides of student work, which dates back to the 1960s and
includes early work by notable College alumni including David Hockney,
Tracey Emin, Ridley Scott and Thomas Heatherwick.. a
three-year scanning project has resulted in over 5,000 of the most
notable images from the collection being made publicly available for
the first time.

Notable alumni whose work is represented in this selection include:
David Hockney, Zandra Rhodes, Chris Ofili, Tracey Emin, Julien
Macdonald, Philip Treacy, Orla Kiely, Harold Offeh and Thomas
Heatherwick. These images are a representative sample of the entire
collection 1960-2002 and all have been scanned from the original 35mm
slides. Senior tutors from each department worked with the Special
Collections Manager to identify key students¹ work. Once a student was
selected, every available slide of their work was digitised to provide
a comprehensive picture of their work.

In addition to the Record of Student Work, over a thousand works from
the Royal College of Art Collection of Paintings have been digitised
and are also being made available through VADS. . Examples include works
by:
Edward Bawden, Eric Ravilious, Paul Nash, John Piper, Frank Auerbach,
John Minton, Peter Blake, David Hockney, Chris Ofili, Tracey Emin,
Dinos Chapman and Sophie von Hellermann.

The Visual Arts Data Service (VADS) is a Research Centre within the
Library and Learning Services Department at the University for the
Creative Arts, and specialises in the management, storage,
presentation, and archiving of digital images and other arts-based
assets. VADS was founded to provide services to the academic community
14 years ago, and since that time it has built an online collection of
more than 120,000 images of rare and unique collections from
libraries, museums, and archives in universities and colleges across
the UK, which are made available online for the purposes of learning,
teaching, and research at: www.vads.ac.uk

The 2011 Texas Biennial survey of contemporary art opened Austin in April. CVAD Department of Studio Arts, Drawing and Painting faculty, and graduates are well represented in the exhibitions. Of the 48 artists included and five special invitations, Associate Professor Matthew Bourbon, Bernardo Cantu MFA 2010, Lori Giesler MFA 2010, and Brad Tucker BFA 1991, were juried into the show by curator Virginia Rutledge, while Professor Annette Lawrence was one of five artists invited to the "distributed exhibition" which focused on permanent installations.

Lawrence's work, "Coin Toss" at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium was featured.  For more information, see the press release.

CVAD senior Art education major Katie Rifkin from Plano, TX was named Student Outreach Coordinator for the National Art Education Association.  She learned of the position opening at the 2011 NAEA convention which she attended in Seattle this spring and applied with
a recommendation from Professor Chris Bain. As a Student Outreach Coordinator, she will identify universities with art education programs that do not have student chapters, and established chapters that are not registered with national chapter.  Her job will be to obtain contact information from faculty and collegiate members from schools in this region and pass it along to the Presidential team. She will be able to help other universities around the countries develop strong NAEA student chapters, she states, "...so other art education students would have the same opportunities I've been given here at UNT with my chapter."  Katie Rifkin has had similar leadership positions through the Delta Gamma sorority that require constant communication with regional and national consultants.

CVAD students in Professor James Thurman's introductory three-dimensional design class have partnered with students in the second grade at Hodge Elementary School in Denton to tame monsters.  The CVAD students made plush toys based on the second graders' drawings.  For the complete story, see Monsters Under the Bed

Craft Research, Volume 3

Craft Research is currently seeking submissions. The deadline for Volume 3

http://www.atypon-link.com/INT/loi/crre

Aims & Scope

Craft Research (CRRE) is the first peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated

to the development and advance of contemporary craft practice and theory

through research. The aim of Craft Research is to elicit craft as a vital

and viable modern discipline that offers a vision for the future and for the

sustainable development of human social, economical and ecological issues.

This role ofcraft is rooted in its flexible nature as a conduit from design

at one end to art at the other. It gains its strength from its at times

experimental, at times developmental nature, which enables craft to explore

and challenge technology, to question and develop cultural and social

practices, and to interrogate philosophical and human values.

Call for Papers

Craft Research aims to actively promote and strengthen this future-oriented

role of the crafts. In order to do so, it recognises inter and cross

disciplinary practices, and encourages diverse approaches to research

arising from practice, theory andphilosophy. It welcomes contributions from

new and established researchers,scholars, and professionals around the world

who wish to make a contribution to advancing the crafts. Contributions may

include research into materials, technology, processes, methods, concepts,

aesthetics and philosophy, etc. in any discipline area of the applied arts

and crafts, including craft education. Craft Research welcomes a number of

different types of contributions as set out below.

in progress including research problem, questions, methods, (expected)

outcomes and findings. They are an opportunity to new

researchers/practitioners to get into publishing.

• Position papers may put forward and debate a position on a particular

(current) issue (e.g. new technology, material, theoretical, social or

educational issue).

Both kinds of contributions should include original work of a research or

developmental nature and/or propose new methods or ideas that are clearly

and thoroughly presented and argued.

Craft & Industry Reports (1500-3000 words)

advance in and for the field, including collaborations and new developments

Create11: The interaction design symposium
23rd June 2011 :: Shoreditch House, London, UK

In order to build on last year’s successful three-day conference in
Edinburgh, the 2011 event will be a one-day forum to discuss creative
practice in interaction design in preparation for a full-scale
conference in 2012. The programme will include speakers,
presentations, quickfire showcases, a panel discussion and possibly a
studio visit too.

The Language of Creativity

The theme of this year’s event is The Language of Creativity. The
CREATE committee want to encourage discussion around the issues of how
creativity is interpreted and used in collaborative and
interdisciplinary interaction design projects. Critical to this
dialogue is the involvement of both researchers and practitioners. The
symposium will provide an opportunity to share project experiences and
emerging themes in this hybrid field. The CREATE committee invites
examples of novel design practice, methods and ideas from the
commercial, academic and public sectors. Examples of web, mobile,
product, artistic and service-based design are all encouraged.
