TOBY ZALLMAN
November 01, 2018-December 15, 2018
Location: Robert F. DeCaprio Art Gallery, Moraine Valley Community College

Reception: Thursday, Nov. 8, 10:30 a.m.-Noon
Artist Talk: 11 a.m.

In Toby Zallman’s sculptures there is always a combination of unrelated materials to represent dialectical oppositions such as hard/soft, ephemeral/enduring, open/closed and natural/fabricated. Since 2004, she has been using some form of recycled material as the basis for her pieces. The ubiquitous presence of plastic bags in our lives inspired the most recent sculpture and drawings. Their usefulness belies the damage that they wreak on the environment. The newest work combines the drawings and sculpture into multimedia installations.

Next week (October 16 – 20) MVCC is hosting the group “Innov Gnawa” on campus. Innov Gnawa is a Grammy-nominated musical collective dedicated to exploring Morocco’s venerable gnawa music tradition – often referred to as the “Moroccan blues.”
 
This is a rare opportunity to interact directly with some world-class musicians. There are so many curricular connections in music, dance, theater, humanities, history, etc.
 
They will be here for several residency activities and will perform on Saturday, October 20 at 7:30 p.m. All of the residency activities are free and the performance is free for students.

CWA Picks

10/8/2018

 
DESCRIPTIONThe Committee on Women in the Arts (CWA) promotes the scholarly study and recognition of women’s contributions to the visual arts and to critical and art-historical studies; advocates for feminist scholarship and activism in art; develops partnerships with organizations with compatible missions; monitors the status of women in the visual-arts professions; provides historical and current resources on feminist issues; and supports emerging artists and scholars in their careers.

RECENT PROJECTSThe Committee on Women in the Arts (CWA) researches and makes available published studies on the status of women in the arts while working with CAA to analyze women’s current professional status through questionnaires and databases. CWA collaborates with CAA affiliated societies such as ArtTable, the Feminist Art Project, the Women’s Caucus for Art, and the Queer Caucus (many of whose memberships overlap). Over the years, CWA has worked with other CAA committees—Diversity Practices, Education, and Student and Emerging Professionals, for example—to organize events for the CAA Annual Conference.  CWA is involved in the ongoing project of identifying organizations and funding sources that support women in the arts. As this information comes to light, it will be available online to the CAA membership.

CWA PICKSEach month, CWA presents a selection of exhibitions, conferences, symposia, panels, lectures, and other events for the CWA Picks. CWA Picks highlights art and scholarship by women that address gender issues.
