Painter Steven Pearson, art professor and chair of the art and art history department at McDaniel College, showcases his new body of work that he created on sabbatical during the spring 2018 semester.
He said, “I explore the liminal space between painting and sculpture, and communicate my interest in the sculptural dimension of painting.”
The Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture and the Society for History & Graphics with support from the Center for Innovation, Research, and Creativity in the Arts (CIRCA) present an informal gallery walk through A Designed Life, an exhibit that discusses three U.S. government-sponsored design exhibits that were circulated through postwar Germany in an attempt to promote the growth of democratic government. The contents of these exhibits are now associated with American modernism.
Jules Rosskam is an award-winning filmmaker, educator and interdisciplinary artist interested in liminal spaces: the space between male and female, between documentary and fiction, between moving image and still. His interdisciplinary practice works to induce a perceptual shift in our understanding of how and what bodies mean in the context of documentary film, toward an apprehension of multiplicities. He is the director, producer, and editor of transparent (2005), against a trans narrative (2009), Thick Relations (2012), Something to Cry About (2018), and Paternal Rites (2018).
InterPlay, a joint venture of UMBC and the Peabody Institute, began in 2016 as a way to connect UMBC undergraduate music majors with Peabody graduate students for their mutual benefit. Since that time, the partnership has evolved to include an innovative, interactive performance in Earl and Darielle Linehan Concert Hall, and a four-session teaching project, which to date have included master classes, chamber music coaching, audition preparation seminars and mock audition panels. For this performance, tenor Daniel E. Sampson will collaborate with pianist Natasha Talukdar.
