CHAIR’S REMARKS:Michael Orr, chair of the Department of Art and Art History and professor of art history. At the beginning of the academic year, we welcomed two new faculty members to the department. Assistant Professor Rob Neilson joins us from Riverside Community College in California where he previously taught sculpture, drawing and design. Rob completed his M.F.A. in sculpture at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and is a graduate of the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI. At Lawrence, Rob will teach all levels of sculpture, drawing and digital applications. Verna Holland comes to Lawrence as a visiting assistant professor and will teach courses in ceramics, art metals and studio fundamentals. Verna received her M.F.A. (metalwork and jewelry) and B.F.A. from Northern Illinois University.
I’m also delighted to announce that Colette Lunday Brautigam joined the Wriston staff in November as our new Visual Resources Librarian. Colette received her Masters in Library and Information Sciences from the College of St. Catherine and completed her B.A. at the University of Minnesota. At Lawrence, she will be responsible for supervising all aspects of our Visual Resources Collection.
As I’m sure you all know, this has been a historic year at Lawrence with the announcement that Rik Warch would be retiring in June 2004 after 25 years of service as Lawrence’s president. The Art and Art History Department owes a considerable debt of gratitude to Rik for his work in insuring the continued centrality of art at Lawrence through the building of the Wriston Art Center. We thank Rik for his service to Lawrence and wish him well in his much-deserved retirement.

• Alexis Boylan, assistant professor of art history. During the past year, Alexis participated in several academic lectures. On February 19, she was chair of a session at the College Art Association meetings in Seattle, WA, in which she gave a lecture entitled “Thomas Kinkade, the Artist in the Mall.” On March 15, she was the guest speaker at the University of Alabama for their lecture series on art and art history, and gave a lecture on “‘Not an Invalid at All:’ Augustus Saint-Gaudens Medallions of Robert Louis Stevenson.”
Her recent publications include: “‘The Spectacle of a Merely Charming Girl’: Abastenia St. Leger Eberle's Girl Skating,” in Perspectives on American Sculpture before 1925, ed. Thayer Tolles ( New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2003), 116-129.
Alexis received the following awards and fellowships: the Associated Colleges of the Midwest’s Global Partners Project for Faculty Development in which she was nominated to participate in the seminar “The Arts in Russia’s Changing Economy and Society,” from June 15 to July 8, in St. Petersburg, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Chester Dale Fellowship in the fall of 2004 for research on the sculpture of Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
Lectures of note at Lawrence University included the GLOW Conference presenting “What a Lesbian Looks Like: The Problem and Promise of Picturing Lesbians,” on April 3, and on April 13, she was a panelist at the Main Hall Forum which was entitled “A Tribute to Edward Said.”
Alexis developed a new class, African-American Art, which is a 200-level class which traced the artistic and social legacy of African-American art from the eighteenth century to the present day. Specifically, this class focused on the ways in which artists used creativity to confront, deny, or complicate understandings of racial identity and racism. The images for this class were available, for the first time here at LU, online on the course website. This enhancement was funded by a grant from the Mellon Fund, which encourages the study of diversity issues.
• Alice King Case, instructor of studio art emerita. Alice sends greetings to all from the beautiful Northwoods. Specifically Lac du Flambeau! She has continued her work with the BRAAT collaborative group, mentioned in our last newsletter. Go to the website www.collaborative-art.com to check out a truly unorthodox exhibition for our Fox Cities. Her partner was Lynn Ann Sauby, an artist from Menasha.
Last fall Alice addressed the Rotary International Group, having received their Visual Arts Scholarship the previous year. She asked for continued support for the contemporary arts in the Fox Cities. She urged all to open their minds to what they may call “unconventional art” and support galleries that do represent
contemporary art.
Alice was able to spend a longer time in the Caribbean this year and said she enjoyed it very much. Having covered the many islands and countries there, she hopes to return to her favorite spot - Mexico, specifically Puerto Vallarta. Vallarta has a very lively arts scene, and represents artists from all over the world.
Instead of her usual course in Figure Drawing, she will teach Basic Drawing this year. Alice said last year she had an outstanding class and plans to follow through with some of them in tutorials and independent studies this year. All of the figure class spent a weekend in beautiful Bjorklunden last spring and she hopes to return in the winter with the beginning class.
In late spring Alice signed an exclusive contract with WaterStreet Gallery in Princeton, which exhibits fine contemporary artwork. She has a show there in October of this year. She urges you to visit their site, www.WaterStreetArt.com. Alice is currently exhibiting at the Northern National, judged by the renowned American artist Katherine Sherwood, artist and professor of art at University of California-Berkeley. This show is supported by the Northern Arts Council, an outstanding organization that raises $8,500 for this show per year.
Besides her large and small painting/drawings, Alice has continued her work in digital art and has hand-colored many pieces. She is planning on showing them at La Pomme Rouge Gallery in Appleton.
In the late spring Alice received word she had won a full Fellowship to Vermont Studio Center. She said she is humbled by this wonderful opportunity, and will be there from late October through late November. This is a special place, indeed, as some of you know. Do visit their site too! You can find it at www.vermontstudiocenter.org. Alice encourages all of you to apply. It is the oldest art colony in America, with an outstanding list of visiting artists.
Alice sends a big “hello” to all our alums and does promise to get to those emails of her alums who have been in touch. And to those art educators out there, she knows you will continue to represent Lawrence in a splendid way, to those many children placed under your charge!

• Verna Holland, visiting assistant professor of art, was recognized as a finalist in the 2004 Saul Bell Design Award competition for jewelry design. Her notable choker-style necklace design was comprised of twisted cord that has been peyote-stitched with delica beads.

The winning pieces may be viewed at www.saulbellaward.com. Ms. Holland also had two neckpieces published in Bead & Button magazine’s Annual Bead Dreams issue. Every year Bead & Button magazine sponsors a juried competition. Accepted pieces are displayed at the show and a catalogue of those pieces is published annually in the magazine.

• Frank C. Lewis, director of exhibitions and curator of the collections of the Wriston Art Center Galleries, enjoyed the beautiful environs of Bjorklunden when he was invited to speak to the Milwaukee-Downer Class of 1953 at their fiftieth reunion. He shared the rich legacy of Milwaukee-Downer as exemplified by the number of fine objects in the Wriston Collection that were once a part of the college’s holdings. Frank was also asked to contribute to Metalsmith magazine, a publication he edited for eight years before coming to Lawrence. He wrote a review of an exhibition of two metalsmiths that was shown at the John Michael Kohler Art Center in Sheboygan, WI. In the spring of 2004, Frank was a juror for the Wisconsin Academy of Art’s 2004-2005 exhibition schedule and in the early summer of 2004, Frank presented the work of Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige to participants in Lawrence’s Mielke Summer Institute. Most of Frank’s leisure time in the last six months has been spent building a stone wall along the shoreline of Lake Winnebago.• Julie Lindemann and John Shimon, instructors in photography, had their work included in several group exhibitions, including Only Skin Deep: Changing Visions of the American Self, curated by Coco Fusco and Brian Wallis for the International Center of Photography in New York in December 2003, which traveled to the Seattle Art Museum in March 2004; Roots of Renewal, Faulconer Gallery, Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa; Re-Viewing the Art, The Art Gallery at Florida Gulf Coast University, Fort Myers, Florida; People: Photographic Representations, Carlsten Gallery, UW-Stevens Point, Wisconsin; and Time in our Hands, Cardinal Stritch University Gallery, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Wendy Cooper Gallery ( Chicago) represented their work at Art Chicago in May 2003 and Photo L.A. in January 2004. They gave a two-day cyanotype and Vandyke print workshop at Cardinal Stritch University in February 2004 and were visiting faculty at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in early 2004. Their work was reviewed in Art on Paper magazine (NY, March/April 2004), and included in books such as Only Skin Deep ( Abrams, NY, 2003), Rhino Poetry 2003 ( Evanston, IL, 2003), and Roots of Renewal ( Grinnell, IA, 2004). They also worked on a book of color photographs and text, Season’s Gleamings: The Art of the Aluminum Christmas Tree, due out in fall 2004. The book was produced by Melcher Media, New York, a publisher that “artfully defies the high-culture/low-culture divide to mix sophistication with popular accessibility.”
The department photography studio was lucky enough to have several 4x5 view cameras and other pro-quality photographic equipment donated in recent years. This academic year, students had the full benefit of this major upgrade with many embarking on major projects using the equipment. A highlight of the academic year for Julie and John was hosting David Travis, Curator of Photography at The Art Institute of Chicago. Travis presented a lecture titled Photography: The Pleasures of Deception in the Wriston Auditorium in May 2004. At a reception following the lecture, students had an opportunity to discuss his topic and At the Edge of the Light, his recently published book of essays on photography, talent and genius which was used as the reader in the Seminar in Photography course. Shimon and Lindemann welcome hearing from former students via email: julie@shimonlindemann.com

The Jessie Mae Pate McConagha Prize, recognizing inter-disciplinary scholarship in art history within the humanities, was given to Rachel Beth Hoerman, studio art/history, ’04, in recognition of her cross-disciplinary research into the Wriston Art Galleries’ collection of late 18 th and 19 th century Japanese “ukiyo-e” woodblock prints. Rachel’s insightful investigation of Japanese printmaking crossed numerous disciplinary boundaries and looked into the relationship between those early Japanese printmaking techniques and the relationship between elite art production and new forms of popular visual culture.
