Nikki Pressley ('04) has recently completed her MFA at CalArts in Valencia, CA. Her thesis exhibition entitled "The Charleston Project: Proposals for the Escape Velocity of Time," has centered upon the investigation of cultural and historical production in Charleston, SC. In her thesis statement Pressley writes: "My work has taken me in the direction of exploring this particular history through the fallible lens of the archive. I am interested in further exploring the archive and blurring the line that separates historical, personal, cultural and documented 'fact.'" A semi-finalist for the Whitney Museum Independent Scholars Program, Nikki will continue to live and work in Los Angeles.

Fresh
Paint: A workshop by Phil Garrett, Artist, Greenville, SC This Lecture will explore a multitude of new surfaces for painting and collage created with Golden’s Glass Bead Gel, Translucent Molding Pastes, Fiber Paste (paper in a jar), Crackle Paste, and more... Cover mixed media application and layering effects for drawing and painting, including using unique metallic paints, stencils and more. I'll cover the new digital grounds that allow transferring your digital images onto a multitude of flat surfaces: non-porous papers, acetate, acrylic skins, even aluminum foil. We will cover some of the technical challenges of working with inkjet printers and explore ideas for incorporating these images in paintings and works on paper. The rest of the lecture will be an introduction to the New Golden OPEN Acrylics and their use. These paints have an extended working time that can give painters much more control of blending and overall manipulation to achieve wonderful controlled effects. They can be used alone or in combination with existing Heavy Body, and Fluid Acrylics and their mediums, gels and additives. This gives painters a truly comprehensive system of Paints. A packet of literature and free samples of paint and gels will be available for all those who attend. For reservations, call or e-mail Professor Robert Chance at 294-2074 or bob.chance@furman.edu. |
