Tim Curtis: See How My Mind Works
|
|
What: “Writing requires collaboration with the reader and both are private acts. But encountering someone’s private thoughts in a public space changes the dynamic,” states artist Tim Curtis. In See How My Mind Works, Tim Curtis explores the use of language and text in concert with visual art. He presents an ever-evolving body of work utilizing text on chalkboards that function as object within a fine art context. The walls of the gallery will be blanketed with handmade chalkboards from floor to ceiling. The visual sensation of multiple chalkboards will surround the viewer with the voices of Tim’s internal dialogue.

Daniel McGrath: What Pictures Want
|
|
What: What Pictures Want is an ongoing series of text based paintings based on W.J.T. Mitchell’s hypothesis that pictures must be considered living things that communicate and have desires, as outlined in his essay “What Do Pictures Want?” from 2005. These paintings' desires in short, are to trade places with the beholder turning him or her into an image for the gaze of the picture. A generic font and an anonymous value scale of black and white, both are nearly ubiquitous in our visual landscape today. Zeroing in on some of the more outrageous statements made in these books, each painting conveys a statement in the form of a dryly written vinyl didactic panel.

"Taqwacore: The Birth of Islamic Punk"
|
|
What: When he was 17, Michael Knight left his mother's home in Rochester to study Islam at a Pakistani madrassa. Years later, burned out on the demands of religious dogma, Mike rebelled once more--by penning a Muslim Punk manifesto called The Taqwacores. His work of fiction struck a chord with young Muslims around the world and before long, real-life Taqwacore bands were creating a scene. This film follows Michael and his band of Muslim punks as they journey across the U.S. and Pakistan.

2010 McDonnell Distinguished Lecture Series
|
|
What: In the coming decade scientists will open the newest window on the universe by detecting for the first time the gravitational waves that were predicted a century before by Einstein. But instead of looking through this window we will be listening to the universe through it, because gravitational waves are space-time's counterpart to sound waves, and our detectors are our microphones. In this multi-media presentation you will be able to listen to the "sounds" made by massive black holes, colliding neutron stars, exploding supernovas, and the Big Bang itself, and you will learn just how different our experience of the universe will be once we have mastered the
technology of gravitational wave detection.

What: The Rep hosts Kids ArtStart, a free art event, on the first Saturday of each month from October through April. Each Kids ArtStart event gives young children an introduction to the arts in an event that allows families to share the arts experience.
Each event takes place at the Loretto-Hilton Center in Webster Groves with local arts organizations and members of the artistic community partnering in the presentations. Additional partners are added throughout the season. Go to http://repstl.org/artstart/ for a complete schedule.
