Select works by 2nd Year MFA Students
Tyler School of Art, Temple University
Curated by Candice Madey
February 9 – April 9, 2011
Hunter College Times Square Gallery
450 West 41st Street, New York, New York
Opening reception: Friday, February 11, 6 – 9 pm
Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Master of Fine Arts program presents the exhibition Vagabondage at the 2011 College Art Association (CAA) New York Area MFA Exhibition. Curated by Candice Madey of On Stellar Rays, Vagabondage features the work of seven MFA candidates: Loo Bain, Daryl Bergman, Amber Cowan, Emily Davidson, Emily Rooney, Dan Schein, and Lindsay Wraga. Working in a variety of materials including painting, sculpture, glass, fiber, photography and video, Madey writes “works in Vagabondage embody the spirit of the vagabond. Myth and meaning is found on the periphery and only with the knowledge gained from a solitary quest…These works present a similar duality: alluding to social constructs and cultural rituals, yet simultaneously pushing against and evading such limitations.”
Vagabondage, along with the exhibitions of fellow New York area MFA programs, will be on view from February 9 through April 9, 2011 at the Hunter College Times Square Gallery at 450 West 41st Street, New York, New York. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 1 – 6 pm. An opening reception will take place on Friday, February 11, from 6 – 9 pm.

THE BRUCE HIGH QUALITY FOUNDATION AND CREATIVE TIME PRESENT TEACH 4 AMERIKA
March 31, 7 - 9 pm
Beury Hall 160, N. 13th St and Polett Walk (across from the Bell Tower)
Temple University
Register for a seat at http://tylerteachforamerika.eventbrite.com/
Exhibitions and Public Programs at Tyler School of Art is pleased to announce that it will host Teach 4 Amerika, a new project by The Bruce High Quality Foundation (BHQF), presented by Creative Time, the New York-based nonprofit public art presenter. Teach 4 Amerika is a five-week, 11-city, coast-to-coast road trip that crosses state lines and institutional boundaries to inspire and enable local art students to define the future of their own educational experience. Traveling the byways of America in a limousine painted as a school bus, BHQF will visit university art departments, art schools, art institutions, and alternative spaces across the nation, bringing together concerned educators, artists, arts administrators, and—most importantly—students to brainstorm on the future of art schools.
The project calls for a national rethinking of the current art education system, and will provide an opportunity for BHQF to present on the issues facing artists seeking an education, as well as catalyze discussions with students. With the multitude of institutionalized fine arts degree tracks throughout the country—which increase in number, enrollment, and cost each year—BHQF have been actively calling for students’ self-organization in New York City with their “unaccredited,” alternative, and completely free school, The Bruce High Quality Foundation University (BHQFU). The Teach 4 Amerika tour is a rallying effort to begin this conversation on a national scale and to encourage a new generation of students, artists, and educators to imagine what is possible for art education in America.
ABOUT THE BRUCE HIGH QUALITY FOUNDATION
The Bruce High Quality Foundation, the official arbiter of the estate of Bruce High Quality, is dedicated to the preservation of the legacy of the late social sculptor, Bruce High Quality. In the spirit of the life and work of Bruce High Quality, we aspire to invest the experience of public space with wonder, to resurrect art history from the bowels of despair, and to impregnate the institutions of art with the joy of man’s desiring. www.thebrucehighqualityfoundation.com

Transformazium
Presentation followed by discussion
Tuesday, March 15, 6 pm
Tyler School of Art, Lower Level South B004
Based in Braddock, Pennsylvania, Transformazium is a comprised of four artists—Ruthie Stringer, Dana Bishop-Root, Leslie Stem, and Caledonia Curry. Originally based in New York, Transformazium has worked together on public and socially engaged projects since 2001, relocating to Braddock in 2008. Their practice expanded from issues of the democratization of public space to include the following: “examine systems of value; make room for new systems; use the tools of the artist to call attention to existing wealth and strength; use the established social value of art to amplify voices and direct resources; use art and design methods to meet practical needs for information and communication in our neighborhood; speak to multiple audiences and facilitate communication between neighborhoods and communities.” Transformazium’s experiences living in Braddock have resulted in the art projects Points of Interest and Family Portrait Project, as well as deconstruction education, local farm initiatives, the exploration of creative economic models, the initiation of an Artist in Residency program, a neighborhood Screen Printing Shop, and a opportunities for artists and curators to get involved with the rebuilding of what was once a thriving economic city of over 20,000, and is now a Rust Belt town being redefined by its 2,600 residents. Learn more about Transformazium at transformazium.org.
*Note: this presentation will feature Ruthie Stringer, Dana Bishop-Root and Leslie Stem. A discussion led by graduate students in Philip Glahn's "Theories of Visual Representation" will follow the presentation.

A Gallery Talk with Jane Rendell on Surface Deposit @ Temple Gallery

Temple Gallery, Tyler School of Art
Site-Writing: The Architecture of Art Criticism
A Lecture with Jane Rendell
Thursday, February 24, 6 pm
Temple Gallery, Tyler School of Art
Lower Level South, B004
Cosponsored by the Department of Architecture, Tyler School of Art
Jane Rendell will read from her new collection of essays, Site-Writing: The Architecture of Art Criticism (published February 2011) against a backdrop of visual images. In Site-Writing, Rendell proposes the idea that the practice of site-writing configures what happens when discussions concerning situatedness and site-specificity extend to involve art and architectural criticism, and the spatial qualities of writing become as important in conveying meaning as the content of the criticism. In operating as mode of a practice, site-writing is a kind of criticism which questions the terms of reference that relate the critic to the work positioned ‘under’ critique, and which instead proposes alternative positions. Rendell thinks of these positions as configurations which write the sites between critic and work, text and reader, including sites which are material, emotional, political and conceptual, as well as remembered, dreamed and imagined.
Professor Jane Rendell is Director of Architecture Research and Vice Dean of Research at the Bartlett, UCL. She is author of Site-Writing (2010), Art and Architecture (2006), The Pursuit of Pleasure (2002) and co-editor of Pattern (2007), Critical Architecture (2007), Spatial Imagination (2005), The Unknown City (2001), Intersections (2000), Gender, Space, Architecture (1999) and Strangely Familiar (1995). Her talks/texts have been commissioned by artists such as Daniel Arsham and Bik Van Der Pol, and galleries like the Hayward, the Serpentine, the Tate and the Whitechapel. She is on the editorial board of ARQ, The Happy Hypocrite, The Issues and Journal of Visual Culture in Britain.

Dark City (Alex Proyas, 1998, 111 minutes)
A man wakes up to discover the world he exists in is controlled by mysterious beings (known as the Strangers) who alter the memories of all of the city’s inhabitants. Struggling to find his identity and unravel the mystery of the Strangers, the dark city is easy to get lost in, as it is a pastiche of different eras of architecture that could almost be any city in a palette of grays, greens and blacks. Dark City was nominated and won several international film awards and was cited by critic Roger Ebert as the best movie of the year.
Monday, January 31, 6 pm
Chungking Express (Kar Wai Wong 1994, 102 minutes)
Dual stories about two lovesick policemen pining for lost love unfold in the Chungking Mansion district of Hong Kong and the restaurant Midnight Express. Symbolism, rich visual textures, and nods to other auteurs, director Kar Wai Wong establishes his own unique style with this cerebral film. Described as both a screwball comedy and gangster thriller, Chungking Express went on to win several Hong Kong Film Awards.
Friday, February 11, 12 pm
Nostalghia (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1983, 125 minutes)
The Russian writer Andrei Gortchakov is nostalgic for home, while researching the life of a famous Russian composer who lived in Italy. His time in Tuscany is inhabited by a mysterious character named Domenico, a mystic or a madman, and the temptation to have an affair with Eugenia, his guide and translator. Nostalghia won several awards at the Cannes Film Festival.
Monday, February 14, 6 pm
The Fifth Element (Luc Besson, 1997, 126 minutes)

Still from One Week
Friday, February 25, 12 pm
Conical Intersect (Bruno Dewitt and Gordon Matta-Clark, 1975, 18:40)
Gordon Matta-Clark’s contribution to the 1975 Paris Biennale was Conical Intersect, an antimonument using two 17th-century buildings scheduled for demolition to create the void of a twisted cone.
One Week (Edward F. Cline and Buster Keaton, 1920, 19 minutes)
A newly wedded couple are given a build-it-yourself house as a wedding present. Unfortunately, the gift poses many challenges, including the malicious renumbering of the packing crates by a rejected suitor, a fierce storm, and pesky train tracks.
Meshes of the Afternoon (Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid, 1943, 14 minutes)
An experimental psychological film using a circular narrative, Meshes of the Afternoon follows a young woman as she nears and enters her home and pursues a hooded figure. Using symbolic imagery, different points of view, and creative editing, this surrealist piece has influenced many contemporary filmmakers.

Lecture and Discussion: Yevgeniy Fiks: Post-Soviet Without Shores
Wednesday, September 29, 2010
LECTURE, Paley Lecture Hall, 5:00 PM
Introduction by Temple Gallery guest curator Stamatina Gregory
Russian-born Yevgeniy Fiks discusses the influence of text and politics on his art, which faces head-on the Post-Soviet dialog in the West. Fiks draws influence for many of his politically poignant works from books with projects such as Lenin for Your Library? in which the artist sent V.I. Lenin’s Imperialism the Highest Stage of Capitalism to 100 corporate libraries, documenting and archiving the responses to his mailing. A later project, Ayn Rand in Illustrations, attempts to add a visual component to three of the author’s major books: We the Living, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged. Join the Libraries and Temple Gallery, Tyler School of Art as this intriguing artist shares the process and product of his work.
DISCUSSION, Temple Gallery, 12th and Norris Streets, 6:30 PM
Following his lecture, Yevgeniy Fiks will participate in a public discussion about his work and its relationship to art and politics, Cold-War legacy, and more. Students from Tyler School of Art professor Philip Glahn’s Topics in Contemporary Art course will lead the discussion.
Yevgeniy Fiks: Post-Soviet Without Shores is supported in part by the Friends of Temple Gallery, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and Temple University Libraries.

Take an in-depth look at Yevgeniy Fiks: Communist Conspiracy in Art Threatens American Museums with Dr. Gerald Silk, Chair of the Art History Department of Tyler School of Art, Temple University. Dr. Silk will discuss some of the historical figures, events, and artists Fiks refers to in this exhibition, including Congressman George Dondero's condemnation of Modern Art and Communism, the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the treatment of political art by museums in relation to the art historical canon, and individual artists such as Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Diego Rivera, and Joseph Kosuth. Audience members are invited to participate in discussion.
Image: Detail from Yevgeniy Fiks, Stalin's Directive in Modern Art, 2010
Dr. Gerald Silk has written widely about modern and contemporary art and has curated and lectured internationally. He has a particular interest in art and politics and in censorship, controversy and the arts, including editing an issue of Art Journal entitled "Uneasy Pieces: Controversial Works in the History of Art, 1830-1950" and authoring book chapters such as “Censorship and Controversy in the Career of Edward Kienholz," in Suspended License: Essays in the History of Censorship and the Visual Arts, and “’Il Primo Pilota’: Mussolini, Fascist Aeronautical Symbolism, and Imperial Rome,” in Donatello Among the Blackshirts: History and Modernity in the Visual Culture of Fascist Italy.

Mission To Moscow (Michael Curtiz, 1943, 123 minutes)
Based on the memoir of the U.S. ambassador to Russia, Joseph H. Davies, this controversial drama was produced at the request of Franklin D. Roosevelt in an effort to drum up support for the Soviet Union during World War II. The US and the USSR were comrades during the fight against Hitler and Mission to Moscow is a fascinating look at early American-Soviet relations.
Image: Mission to Moscow still courtesy of Warner Bros.
North Star (Lewis Milestone, 1943, 108 minutes)
Criticized when it was released in 1943 as being a pro-Soviet propaganda film, North Star is a war film about the resistance of Ukrainian villagers, through guerrilla tactics, against the German invaders of Ukraine. The film was rereleased in 1957 under the title of Armored Attack with several scenes deleted including idealized portrayal of Soviet collective farms and references to the 1956 Hungarian Uprising.
Monday, October 4
Introduction and discussion led by Dr. Gerald Silk, Chair, Art History, Tyler School of Art
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Don Siegel, 1956, 80 min)
Bizarre behavior stirs up trouble in a small California town when people suspect that there may be human clones living amongst them. When released in 1956, this film was widely viewed as a covert indictment of McCarthyism.
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Stanley Kubrick, 1964, 94 min)
Setting the stage for an impending nuclear Armageddon, this classic black comedy brilliantly skewers the nuclear age and takes passing shots at numerous Cold War attitudes.
Image: Invasion of the Body Snatchers still courtesy of Allied Artists.
Monday, October 18
Introduction and discussion led by Paul Swan, Professor of Film and Media Arts, Temple University
La Trinchera Luminosa del Presidente Gonzalo (Jim Finn, 2007, 60 min)
La Trinchera Luminosa del Presidente Gonzalo is a recreation of one day at the Canto Grande prison in Peru, following women guerrillas from the Maoist Shining Path movement in their morning marches to their bedtime chants. Kept isolated in their own cellblocks, the guerrillas refused to acknowledge that were imprisoned. Their cellblocks were another front in the People's War: "shining trenches of combat". This film shows the intense indoctrination and belief system of the brutal Latin American insurgency.
The Juche Idea (Jim Finn, 2008, 62 min)
This experimental satire examines what happens when a South Korean filmmaker sojourns into communist North Korea to breathe new life into that country's flagging, propaganda-driven movie industry. Believing that cinema can prop up North Korea's Juche (pronounced choo-CHAY) Idea of self-reliance, mad dictator Kim Jong-Il pulls out all the stops to help the young émigré produce appropriate films. Translated as self-reliance, Juche is a hybrid of Confucian and authoritarian Stalinist pseudo-socialism.

A lunchtime chat with Carl Pope and Mari Hulick

Free and open to the public
In conjunction with Philagrafika 2010: The Graphic Unconscious at Temple Gallery, artist Carl Pope will present The Wall Remixed: The North Philadelphia Small Business Advertising Campaign along with collaborator and designer Mari Hulick. Bring your lunches and learn about this major billboard campaign on view through March 2010 in North Central Philadelphia.
About The Wall Remixed: The North Philadelphia Small Business Advertising Campaign
Carl Pope’s billboard project brings the scale of public advertising to the small businesses that define the North Philadelphia neighborhood surrounding Temple University. Collaborating with students from the Mural Arts Program and local business owners in North Philadelphia, Pope and Hulick combined the existing visual identities of the businesses with drawings generated by the children to create a visual statement for the neighborhood. By mixing the existing businesses with children's drawings (utilizing local talent and enterprise), the two have helped mark out a visual identity for the area that makes it unique and personal to the neighborhood. While each business maintains it's own identity, the children's drawings now thread the entire neighborhood into a unique whole. The project replaces the marketing images of multinational corporations with resonant images of local businesses by local residents. Insinuating neighborhood anchors with great local significance into these commercial spaces, Pope and Hulick celebrate the dynamics of community and substitutes their productive values for the easy consumption usually offered in these such advertisements.
About the speakers
Carl Pope received his MFA from Indiana State University, and also studied at the prestigious Skowhegan School of Painting. Pope’s work has been widely exhibited including at the Whitney Biennial 2000, the Soap Factory in Minneapolis, MN, Momenta Art, New York, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Renaissance Society in Chicago, as well as in citywide projects including The Mind of Cleveland. Pope was an Assistant Professor at The State University of New York at Stony Brook, The University of Illinois at Chicago, and a Hanes Visiting Lecturer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He also was a Fellow at the Humanities Institute at Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland School of Art. He currently lives and works in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Mari Hulick is the Chair of Communication Design at The Cleveland Institute of Art and runs the design consultancy, "the studio", creating Information and Spatial Graphics as well as collateral design.

12th and Norris Streets, Lower Level South
Free and open to the Public
Temple Gallery's exhibition Philagrafika 2010: The Graphic Unconscious focuses on print in the public sphere along with issues of accessibility, collaboration, and audience. Sheryl Conkelton, co-curator for The Graphic Unconscious, will talk with artists Swoon and Jordan Seiler about their artwork and its placement beyond the gallery.
About the speakers
Sheryl Conkelton is an independent curator based in Philadelphia. A member of the curatorial team that organized the key exhibitions for Philagrafika 2010, she has held senior curating positions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the Henry Art Gallery and, most recently, was Director of Exhibitions and Public Programs at Tyler School of Art.
Jordan Seiler lives and works in New York. Inspired by his surroundings and public spaces, Seiler founded the Public Ad Campaign, which acts on the assumption that public space and the public's interaction with that space is a vital component of a city's health. By visually altering and physically interacting with the public environment, residents become psychologically invested in their community. www.publicadcampaign.com
Swoon lives and works in New York. Her life-size, wheat-pasted prints of people, architecture, and motifs often occupy the building walls of urban neighborhoods. Her recent collaborative projects include the Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea and Miss Rockaway Armada, and she has exhibited her prints and installations internationally, including at the Yerba Buena Center, Brooklyn Museum of Art, P.S. 1, and the Museum of Modern Art.

Copy Light is a workshop that produces paper-shaded hanging lamps, each printed with the image of a famous copyrighted lamp design. Conceptually, the lights occupy a position somewhere between an original and a copy, in the words of the artists "an in-between mode of working that has the potential to disrupt convention." Like earlier Superflex projects, Copy Light has been conceived to provoke thinking about proprietary rights and the exclusions and contradictions that they produce.
Proceeds will go to the Electronic Frontier Foundation http://www.eff.org/
$25 PER LAMP. CASH ONLY; ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

PANEL DISCUSSION ON THE WORK OF RYAN TRECARTIN
Wednesday, October 7, 5:30 pm
Temple University, Paley Library, Lecture Hall
Ryan Trecartin's artwork advances understandings of post-millennial technology, narrative and identity. The combination of assaultive, nearly impenetrable avant-garde logics and equally outlandish, virtuoso uses of color, form, drama and montage produces a sublime, stream-of-consciousness effect in his films that feels bewilderingly true to life. Discussed from a variety of perspectives, scholars and artists will examine issues of social media and networks; gender and aesthetic themes in video art; and more. Participants include Temple University's Gerard Brown, Chair of Foundations, Tyler School of Art (moderator); Scott Gratson, Director of the Communications Program and SCT Undergraduate Studies; Aaron Smuts, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy; Elisabeth Subrin, Assistant Professor in the Department of Film and Media Arts; and Andrew Suggs, Executive Director of Vox Populi Gallery, Philadelphia.
