Have you had the chance to see these three exhibitions at A.I.R.? This weekend is your last chance, all three close on Sunday. Many thanks to Jeanette May for providing installation shots!
Regina Granne will be hosting an event Artist as Witness: Words on War this Saturday [October 2 @ 4pm]. Three poets and one writer will read from works that investigate and dissect the nature and of war. The artist Regina Granne, whose work is currently on exhibition in the gallery, focuses on war and its consequences in her paintings, drawings and small paper sculptures. The works witness without words. Her interest in this topic stems from what she sees as the lack of attention being given to wars in which the United States is engaged and the many unrecognized and ignored wars, which litter our world. Granne will introduce the readers and moderate the informal discussion and dialogue that will open up a collective conversation. Panelists include:
Richard Levine - member of the United States Marine Corps, veteran of the Vietnam War, and author of That Country's Soul, A Language Full of Wars and Songs and Snapshots from a Battle.
Cynthia Nadelman - art critic and poet who lives in New York City. Her formative years for spent as a Foreign Service brat, living in hot spots in the Cold War.
Derek McGee - Sergeant in the Marines who served two tours in Nasiriyah and Fallujah, Iraq. His book When I Wished I Was Here: Dispatches from Fallujah offers an account of the day to day life for US Soldiers in Iraq and the difficulties transitioning to civilian life.
Spring Ulmer holds a M.F.A. in Poetry from the University of Arizona, and a M.F.A. in Nonfiction from the University of Iowa. Her honors include grants for photography and writing from the Kentucky Arts Council, the Kentucky Foundation for Women, and the Andrea Frank Foundation, as well as residencies from the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito, California, and the University of Iowa’s Museum of Art.
