Formulation: Articulation

10/25/2008 - 12/07/2008
Josef Albers is one of the 20th century’s most influential artists and theorists. This exhibition presents an overview of his work through a series of limited edition silkscreen prints, originally issued in 1972. Drawing on over forty years of Albers' work in a variety of media, they represent a summation of his creative life. All of Albers' thinking on color and geometrical relationships is embodied in Formulation: Articulation. The series of prints was carefully
sequenced by the artist to be examined and appreciated for its visual interaction, and as individual works of art. The artworks in the exhibition are accompanied by analytical statements from Albers' extensive writings.
Organized by: Landau Traveling Exhibitions

Changes to the Photography Calendar Competition

Please note that the judges have changed (see the link to the form on the top of this page). The new judges are:

Rachel Ackerman, NWACC Art Club Member and NWACC Librarian
Lynn Berkowitz, Director of Education, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art
Victor Chalfant, NWACC Faculty
Mike Eckels, Public Relations Committee Chair
Genny Olsen, NWACC Art Club Member and NWACC Librarian
Eric Smith, NWACC Art Club Advisor

The reasons for this change are 1) Some of the earlier listed judges wanted to participate in the contest and they had to be recused. 2) I recused myself (Stephanie Lewis) as judge since I am cataloging all of the images and know all the names of the photographers ahead of judging. These changes will create more fairness in the competition.

Also, in addition to the prize money, each top winner will receive a free calendar.

Remember, when submitting your photographs, to make them at least a resolution of 200 dpi.

ALSO, THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS NOVEMBER 15!

Slow Dancing

NYC, LA, VENICE... FAYETTEVILLE
Slow Dancing by David Michalek opens October 16th


Be among the first to experience this internationally-renowned public arts exhibition!
Slow Dancing is a 4-week, free outdoor public art installation featuring extraordinary, slow-motion videos of more than 40 iconic dancers and choreographers from around the world, celebrating the powerful and fascinating movements of the human body.

Each subject's movement (approximately 5 seconds long) was shot on a specially constructed set using a high-speed, high-definition camera recording 1,000 frames per second (standard film captures 30 frames per second). The result is a sublime, astonishing 10-minute experience that breaks down the dancers' motions into infinitesimal movements. The portraits are projected on three massive screens positioned on Walton Arts Center's Tyson Plaza, and randomly selected to allow viewers to simultaneously compare dancers and their movements.

Walton Arts Center is proud to co-commission Slow Dancing along with The Music Center in Los Angeles, Sadler's Wells in London, England and Luminato: Toronto Festival of Arts & Creativity. As a commissioner, Walton Arts Center contributed funds to the development of Slow Dancing and is recognized on the international tour.

We invite all in our community to come be a part of this exciting public art installation! Concessions will be available each night – bring a blanket and enjoy an evening with friends or family on Walton Arts Center's Tyson Plaza as you watch this fascinating exhibition unfold.

Preview Exhibition – Open Now!


Slow Dancing officially opens on Thursday, Oct. 16, but you can get a preview of the project in a featured exhibition, located in Walton Arts Center's Joy Pratt Markham Gallery (right next to the Box Office). Sculpting Movement and Time: Making Slow Dancing documents the artistic journey David Michalek undertook as he created the internationally-acclaimed exhibition The New York Times refers to as "enthralling" and "miraculous". This exhibition is currently on loan from Jacob's Pillow Dance, the home of America's longest-running dance festival.

The Joy Pratt Markham Gallery is open Monday – Friday, 9am – 6pm and Saturdays, noon – 4pm. This exhibition is free.
