Artist's Perspective: Mike Hoolboom: Free lecture @ Frist: Feb 14, 2009
Artist's Perspective: Mike Hoolboom
Saturday, February 14, 2:00 p.m.
Auditorium, FREE
Join experimental filmmaker Mike Hoolboom as he discusses his work. Hoolboom’s Imitations of Life integrates compelling images drawn from mainstream cinema, newsreels, and science fiction films. In it, sequences of deconstructed and recombined imagery, variously haunting and playful, hypnotically cast the cumulative effects of film as a force that shapes our subconscious image of self in relation to the stream of history and the trajectory of humanity.

Curator's Perspective: Reflections of the Medieval World: Free Lecture @ Frist: Feb 13, 2009
Curator's Perspective: Reflections of the Medieval World
Friday, February 13, 6:30 p.m.
Auditorium, FREE
Stephen N. Fliegel, curator of medieval art at the Cleveland Museum of Art, will present a thousand years of aesthetic culture—from the austere spirituality of the Byzantines to the exalted frivolity of French Gothic secular art—in this lecture on medieval masterpieces from the Cleveland Museum of Art.
These works of art, which were precious in their time, remain so today, not simply because they are beautiful, but as the inheritance of European culture. These works effectively offer us a glimpse of the past that is our own. Whether preserved in church treasuries, buried in the ground, or forgotten in some chest or unvisited corner of a building, objects of the medieval period are survivors of a lost age.
The constant factor throughout these centuries was the common center around which most life was organized—the Christian Church. Fliegel’s lecture will examine sublime sculptures, painted altarpieces, and illuminated manuscripts created in the service of faith and devotion. He will also discuss objects commissioned by some of Europe’s great aristocrats—King Charles V of France; the Duke of Burgandy, Philip the Bold; and Queen Isabella of Spain—as expressions of their personal wealth and taste. The lecture will also present an overview of the Cleveland Museum’s medieval collection, which is internationally recognized as one of the world’s finest.

ART: UP CLOSE & PERSONAL, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, AT 6 P.M.
FRANKLIN, January 30, 2008—Multimedia painter Lain York will appear in the second free educational program of The Arts Council of Williamson County (ACWC), “Art: Up Close & Personal,” Monday, February 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Williamson County Public Library.

According to Scott B. Hodes, director of visual arts for the Arts Council of Williamson County, “The lecturers have been asked to share the experiences that have culminated in that artisan being able to fulfill the role of professional working artist in the community, such as background, history, choices and decisions, education and technique, work experience, and artistic and life influences.”
He continues, “These particular images, though inspired by African, Mayan, Middle Eastern, Greek Archaic masks and figures, are distilled elements. I really don’t think of them as a part of any specific culture. They appeal to me as a record or evidence of the way a society or culture tries to make sense of the human experience through art and ritual. The record of this attempt, the art objects, is common to all societies past and present. All human societies in one way or another make art; we all share this basic need.”
