Machera Floors Installation Images
No full textThis digital image was photographed by Chip Pankey and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in Fall 2019.This is an Installation Image taken by Chip Pankey of Johana Moscoso's "Machera Floors" exhibition in the Clough-Hanson Gallery. Johana Moscoso’s "Machera Floors" are a series of large scale floor sculptures accompanied by process videos in which the artist and her peers dance Colombian cumbia and salsa over unfired porcelain tiles. The wet tiles, imprinted with impressions of the dancers’ heeled shoes, were fired, glazed, and re-assembled into large sculptural dance floors that archive dynamic expressions of the dancers' movements. The indelible impressions in "Machera Floors" embody the history of migration, which needs to be remembered and constantly retold in an America that tends to overlook the cultural assets and values created by immigrated populations.
There was an Artist's talk held on September 5 at 6:00 in Blount Auditorium. The Opening reception was on September 6 from 5:00 - 7:00. The Exhibition was on view through October 12
Fantastic Beasts: A Look into Medieval Geographical Stereotypes Depicted in the Bestiary, MS Bodley 764
No full textPresentation by Katie Cynkar ('19) delivered at the Rhodes College Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Symposium (URCAS).MS Bodley 764 is a British bestiary that dates from approximately 1220 to 1250. A bestiary is
similar to an encyclopedia of animals of which examines the physiology, habitat, and behaviors
of animals while also drawing allegorical lessons intended to guide the spiritual and moral
behavior of humans through the use of text and illustration. Each animal has a spiritually
symbolic interpretation attached to it of which can be good, bad or a warning against sinful
behavior. Of all the animals in Bodley 764, 39 animals have locations associated with them.
These locations consist of places in Africa including Ethiopia, Egypt and rivers in Egypt, places
in Asia including India and Arabia, and places in Europe such as Germany and Ireland. While
each individual animal has its own symbolic meaning, each area consists of a group of animals
with similar moral symbolism. These symbolic interpretations follow similar didactic guidelines
as the medieval map, the mappa mundi, suggesting that there is relative similarity between the
animals and geography. This presentation will answer whether or not the descriptions of animals
in MS Bodley 764 are similar to perceptions about people in specific geographical locations

"Aggregate Optics of Make-A-Do" Opening Image
No full textThis item was uploaded to DLynx in the Visual Resources Center during the spring of 2019.Erin Harmon’s work dwells in the twilight zone between painting and sculpture. Filled with longing for places that do not actually exist, contradictions flourish with invocations of both the animated and the arrested, the joyful and the staid, the high and the low. Material and processes become sites for fantasy, illusion, and the interplay between flat and not-flat. The vibrant work in "Aggregate Optics of Make-A-Do" tinkers with scale to produce environments that we can project ourselves into as landscapes, even while confronting their qualities of un-nature.
Borne from Harmon’s previous body of painted paper collages, her new work is influenced by techniques common to theatrical painters, a lineage of shapes and images become a trail of breadcrumbs from one idea to another. These materials are scoured, drawn, painted, cut, and recycled over time, one idea begetting another, endlessly self-generating. Whether it be through ceramic, painted muslin, or projection animation (a collaborative video in which Harmon’s gouache-on-paper cut-outs have been animated by artist and musician Kyle Statham), the finished works encapsulate a romance with materials and processes
