Department of Art faculty and Humanities Center Board member sue Whitmore returns with new work in mixed media for her second show at the HCG (the first was the wildly popular “Cozy” in Oct. 2003). She is making objects that “you think you recognize but possibly have forgotten what they refer to.” Whitmore earned her MFA from the University of Washington and has studied, taught, and had residencies in Italy, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, and Oregon.

This will be the largest sustainability conference in Northern California this year. We have over 80 sessions, 5 keynote addresses, and 7 tours so don’t miss out. First, you’ll want to view our full conference program available online.

Lucy Puls examines the unwanted and discarded objects of present day culture. In this exhibition, she explores the proliferation of abandoned domestic items and appliances discovered in her own Berkeley neighborhood. These sculptures combine photographic documentation of these items in their displaced settings with 3D adornments that covertly reference the intended attributes of each item. Ms. Puls is Chair of the Department of Art & Art History, U.C. Davis.

Featured as the kick-off keynote speaker at the annual This Way to Sustainability Conference III, environmental advocate and author David Orr is well known for his work on environmental literacy in higher education. Orr’s recent work in ecological design resulted in the creation of the Environmental Studies Center at Oberlin College, a building described by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of thirty “milestone buildings” of the 20th century. Orr’s lecture is sponsored by The Institute for Sustainable Development and Chico Performances.

Peter Jodaitis writes: “The work in this exhibit covers the years from the making of what I consider my first ‘original’ drawing to the present. That first drawing, ‘A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings’ taken from the Gabriel Garcia Marquez story, was done in 1974, thirty three years ago. And is in a sense the beginning of this story.

“The paintings in the hall represent a series I began in summer of 2006 and continue to explore. Some of the pieces suggest to me images of petrified wood — and wood, along with the rest of nature, has to be petrified in our mall-plagued, war-torn times.

“In the main room is a selection of work from 1974 to 2007 which represents a number of the over thirty series I have produced since I began to work in series in the late 1970s. Difficult as it was for me to choose, and the inevitable space limitations in representing a large body of work, the exhibit does trace, albeit roughly, my trajectory through the space of art.”

Gated communities continue to multiply on the fringe of every major city in Brazil. Most scholars see these as enclaves of the rich, enabled by security technologies, walls and distance from cities. But to see gated communities as enclaves obscures how they are dependent on the people of surrounding areas for their own viability. This presentation looks at how gardeners are central to security and landscape change in a gated community in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Let your mind wander back to 1872 when the Modoc Indians ruled Medicine Lake and the rugged landscape within its reach. Volcanic eruptions punctured the landscape with cinder cones, spatter cones, lava tube caves, and pit craters. The Modoc Indians used this landscape create a stronghold to hide and defeat the cavalry sent to take them back to a reservation. Crawl through the same intricate lava tubes and explore the very land the Modoc Indians managed to survive in. Beautiful scenery, clean air, and superb camping make this one of AO’s favorites.

Home of the annual Burning Man Festival, the Black Rock Desert is the place to be if you need a break from civilization. Words like desolation and solitude take on a new meaning here. Explore the great basin region of Northern Nevada in the crisp fall weather and maybe relax in a hot spring or two. The desert is usually teaming with wildlife and the canyons are breathtaking.
