NOVEMBER

Pulp to Pixels: Artists Books in the Digital Age
November 5-16, 2012

Gretchen Henderson will deliver the keynote talk:
Thursday, November 8, 4 p.m. A reception will follow.

This exhibit explores how technology has affected all aspects of artists' books, from production to creation to access and use. Some of the works on display explore interactive generative art with text and image, some function as books in their own right but can be enhanced with technology, and others require a smart phone or tablet to view them at all. Artists will include Nick Montfort, Paul Zelevansky, Jie Qi, Colette Fu, Danielle Aubert, M. Kasper, Gretchen Henderson, and Amaranth Borsuk, among others.

This exhibit has been curated by Andrea Dezsö, Steven Daiber, and Meredith Broberg.

Pulp to Pixels: Artists Books in the Digital Age was made possible in part by a Mellon Digital Humanities grant from Five Colleges, Inc., and co-sponsored by the Hampshire College Board of Trustees. It is part of a larger event, "Non-Visible and Intangible: Artists Books Respond to E-Books."

Gallery hours: Monday-Friday, 10:30-4:30 and Sunday, 2-5

SEPTEMBER: DAVID WILSON: EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE

David Wilson drawing

September 3-September 28, 2012
Gallery hours: M-F, 10:30-4:30 and Sunday, 2-5

DAVID WILSON holds an MFA in visual afrom the University of California, San
Diego, and is professor of art and head of the Graduate Studies in Art Program
at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. He has exhibited all over the world,
including New York; Australia; New Zealand; Slovakia; Reykjavik, Iceland; and
Basel, Switzerland (Kunsthalle 2000). In addition to creating site-specific gallery
installations, Wilson is also a performance artist and a filmmaker who has won
international recognition (Dallas, Texas; Sydney, Australia; Florence, Italy;
Belgrade, Serbia).

For the installation at Hampshire, David Wilson will create a "drawing"installation with hose, paper and vinyl. These drawings and materials facilitate and explore the concept of extended drawing. Extended drawing is an approach that, once set in motion, can be carried out indefinitely. "I set parameters (formal, perceptual, psychological) that are distinct and clear. Then it is all open-ended improvisations and challenges that define and shape the work," says the artist.

Strong color is vital, says Wilson. "Color is a way to separate from context.
Bright, non-natural color is immediately out of place, an aberration,
extraordinary. It permeates the whole room, enters the senses, and gets on
your skin. You can taste it. It makes an impression that is hard to shake."

There will be a gallery talk on Wednesday, September 26 at 4 p.m. followed by a
closing reception from 5:00-6:30. For further information, contact Carolyn Arnold
(413-..5544 or carnold@hampshire.edu).
