BAUM GALLERY TO FEATURE SPRING SEASON OF EXHIBITIONS

CONWAY—The University of Central Arkansas's Baum Gallery will feature
two exhibitions this spring —Tagged, Stamped and Stenciled: Guerilla
Art “Goes Gallery” and Polarized Dispersions.
The exhibits will run from Jan. 21-Feb. 25.
Tagged, Stamped and Stenciled features three large murals celebrating
graffiti art created by San Francisco artist Mark Bode and the UCA
Painting Master Class.
Visitors to the Gallery are encouraged to contribute their own tags,
stamps and stencil patterns to the environment, using materials that are
provided in another resource room. Go to (www.uca.edu/art/baum) for the
most current information about additional events by UCA students who are
using the exhibit environment for performances, poetry slams and
gatherings
“Graffiti artists are public artists and performance artists, and
their art form is now being hailed as the 21st-Century avante garde,”
Baum Gallery director Barbara Satterfield said. “Once viewed as
renegades, graffiti artists are receiving solo shows in reputable
commercial galleries on the east and west coasts — and those galleries
are making money hand-over-fist.”
The Baum Gallery's other exhibition, Polarized Dispersions, features
multiple computer-generated video footage projected onto a suspended
fabric sculpture. The exhibit is a multimedia installation created by
Michael Wyshock, assistant professor of art at UCA.
“[Wyshock] has provided a sophisticated contemporary component for
our Spring 2010 season of exhibitions,” Satterfield said. “His
environment is immersive and captivating, with a significant 'wow'
factor.”
The Gallery has scheduled opening receptions for the spring season from
4-6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21, and from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 25 in the
Baum Gallery. Both receptions and exhibitions are free and open to the
public.
Hours for the Baum Gallery are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday
from 10 a.m.-5
p.m. and Thursdays from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. For more information, contact
Satterfield at (501) 450-5793.
