Poetry reading by O.B. Bassler and Patrick Fadely

Professor of Philosophy O.B. Bassler recently completed two volumes of poetry: ” The Plaster Years” and “In The House of Black Spaniards”. His work (poetic, critical, and mathematical) has been published in Pulse Berlin and The Annals of Scholarship. He is currently at work on a book on intrinsically large numbers, tentatively titled “The Long Shadow of the Parafinite”. Patrick Fadely is a BA candidate in Linguistics. After self-publishing a volume of “8 Poems,” he has started an extensive study of logical structures in lyric poetry.

The reading will be split into two apposite segments: the first part will deal explicitly and implicitly with the work of Marcel Duchamp, and will extend critically, poetically, and graphically a tenuous interpretation of what we may learn from his activity as artist and non artist. The second half of the program will center on the art of manifesto, and the possible permutations of “stance.”

ICE Room, Tanner Building Room 101

An evening of informal presentations featuring Dr. Jason Cantarella, Laleh Mehran, and a window installation by Amanda Burk. Dr. Jason Cantarella, Professor of Mathematics, will screen digital animation from the Math and Visualization workshop and share his work with geometric knot theory. Lamar Dodd School of Art Professor Laleh Mehran will select key contemporary works at the intersection of art and science and discuss her genre-blurring series, The Xerces Society. Meet Amanda Burk, a graduate candidate in Printmaking, and explore her interior/exterior window installation at ICE.

The Ticket

One of the most exciting collaborative projects this year is The Ticket, developed by the Interactive Performance Lab in the Department of Theatre and Film Studies and the Chicago Theatre Company Studio Z. Written by Daniel Zellner of Studio Z, this commedia del arte style production includes actors, designers, computer programmers and media specialists. The performance features actors within improvised scenes interacting with film and 3D animation. The Ticket premiered at The Second City in Chicago in March 2005.

AUX CD

A collection of experimental sound from Athens, Georgia, presented in a limited-edition CD package, available at https://ugaartscollaborative.com/aux/. 

The project features 18 audio tracks by various artists associated with the famed Athens independent music scene. Designed by graduate students in the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the packaging is entirely hand printed and assembled using archival materials.

AUX was developed over three years with the support of ICE. Curators JoE Silva, Heather McIntosh, and Steven Trimmer selected a range of artists for the project, representing diverse means of production and approaches to sound.

The AUX Web site was developed by John Crowe with the support of a Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO) Summer Fellowship.
