QUICK VIEW of Upcoming EVENTS

Edgar Heap of Birds and Shanna Ketchum-Heap of Birds
Public LECTURE Jan. 15 @ 4:00 PM
Art Building, Art Auditorium
Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes has a long established critical reputation for his political and site-specific public signage projects of late 80s and early 90s. His artistic practice has been an important influence on the development of First Nations contemporary art across North America and the world. Heap of Birds has taught as Visiting Professor at Yale University, Rhode Island School of Design, and Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town, South Africa. At The University of Oklahoma, Professor Heap of Birds teaches in Native American Studies and Fine Arts.

Shanna Ketchum-Heap of Birds is a citizen of the Diné/Navajo Nation. She is an independent scholar of contemporary Native American art, and she has taught in the Native Studies Department at the University of Oklahoma in Norman since 2007. Her work can be found in Third Text: Critical Perspectives on Contemporary Art, Estrago, Vision, Space, Desire: Global Perspectives and Cultural Hybridity (NMAI Edition), the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, and The Hugo Boss Prize 2008 exhibition (Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum). She lectures about issues in contemporary Native art, both nationally and internationally.

Ayad Alkadhi
In Residence Jan. 18 - 30, 2013
Public LECTURE Jan. 23 @ 6:00 PM
Art Building, Art Auditorium
Born and raised in Baghdad, Alkadhi currently lives and works in New York City. Alkadhi’s work focuses on cultural and political topics of Iraq and the Middle East. His use of street art language, Arabic newspaper on mixed-media canvases, as well as his use of calligraphy, connects elements of traditional media to contemporary art. This collision produces images that ultimately express the artist’s concern with the polarities of Middle Eastern politics. He received his MFA from the New York University's ITP Tisch School of the Arts. His most recent exhibits include: the Queens Museum, the Austrian Cultural forum and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum in New York; the Station Museum in Houston, Texas; the Maraya Art Centre in Sharjah in the UAE. Alkadhi’s visit is sponsored by the Laila Twigg-Smith Art Fund of the Hawai’i Community Foundation, Shangri La, and SFCA.

Phoebe Cummings
In Residence Feb. 4 – 24, 2013
Student Lecture Feb. 5, 3pm, Rm. 101
Public Lecture Feb. 24, 3pm, Art Auditorium
Opening of Cella Feb. 24, 3-5pm, Art Gallery
Phoebe Cummings will be developing a site specific installation in the UH Art Gallery, titled Cella, opening on Feb. 24th. Working predominantly from unfired clay, Cummings constructs pieces directly on site as temporary installations or interventions within a place. Both material and process are of particular significance to the artist; her intensive labor of making is heightened by the ephemerality of the work's existence. Often the pieces come to exist only as a photograph or memory.
She graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Ceramics & Glass in 2005. She has done artist residencies in the UK, Greenland and US. In 2008, she spent 3 months as artist-in-residence at the Kohler Co. factory in Wisconsin as part of their Arts/Industry program supported through the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. Other residencies have involved creating site-specific works at Bolwick Hall, Norfolk and I-park, Connecticut. Phoebe was Ceramics Artist-in-Residence at the V&A from June to December 2010. She was selected as the winner of the British Ceramics Biennial Award in 2011, and in 2012, she was included in the Museum of Arts and Design's exhibition Swept Away: Dust, Ashes, and Dirt in Contemporary Art and Design in New York, NY. She is currently the artist-in-residence at the Camden Arts Center. Her visit is sponsored by the Laila Twigg-Smith Art Fund of the Hawai`i Community Foundation, the SFCA, and the Parc Hotel, Hospitality Sponsor for the Arts.
