Steve Locke will explore relationships between and among men in his drawings and paintings. His own interest in the exchange of looks, the privilege of looking, and the wish to be seen will inform his response to the monumental woodcut by Kerry James Marshall on view in Recent Acquisitions, Part III: Kerry James Marshall. Steve will share his reactions to the methods, materials, and meanings he finds in Marshall’s work and will discuss his long relationship with the artist’s oeuvre.

Dan Serig's Latest Publication
Dan Serig has an essay in a new NAEA publication Matter Matters: 
Art Education and Material Culture Studies, edited by Paul Bolin and Doug Blandy. Matter Matters provides readers with theoretical perspectives and practical instructional ideas related to teaching about and through objects and expressions from the surrounding world. The book is divided into two primary sections: Theoretical Perspectives on Material Culture and Art Education, and Practical Application of Material Culture Studies within Art Education.
The research for Dan’s essay is based on the purchases of the graduate students who went on the first Art Education Department trip to Ecuador in July 2008. After the trip students laid out their collection of purchased items, and Dan interviewed them. The essay examines such questions as whether goods produced solely for tourists are authentic artifacts of the culture. A wonderful story about John Crowe’s purchase of a broken St. Francis statue is included.
