Sculpture/ Fall 2007 LECTURE SERIES AND EVENTS
SCHOOL OF THE ARTS, VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY
Rosamond Purcell
lecture: "THINGS is where it’s at"
September 13 at 4:00 pm
Oliver Hall, 1001 W. Main, Room 1031
“By the time she became intrigued (even obsessed) with the etching of Olaus Worm's 17th-century natural-history cabinet in the mid-1980s, Rosamond Purcell was already a photographer of note. She had created a fascinating body of large-format photographs with the Polaroid Corporation's experimental 20-by-24-inch camera, and she had embarked on several collaborative projects with the renowned paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould. The etching of Worm's room turned her already intense passion for collecting (she grew up with collector parents) in a new direction: She wanted to recreate it in three dimensions. Purcell contemplated every aspect of the engraving, imagining herself in it, studying the strange and rare objects, and, over the last two years in particular, systematically planning what would have to be found, created, and concocted to replicate both the letter and spirit of that room. …The exhibition "Two Rooms" is the apotheosis of Purcell's 20-year preoccupation. It recreates on site and in exact scale Olaus Worm's naturalist cabinet, adjacent to the reconstructed deconstruction of her own studio. The intersection of these two rooms, separated by time but joined by sensibility, determination, and vision, provides a magical and scintillating journey into the mind of a singular and gifted artist. Life and art are one for Purcell. She is an original and poignant thinker. She makes us marvel, contemplate, and see anew.”

Via Lewandowsky
day, time, location TBD
This Berlin artist was born and educated in Dresden East Germany where he studied Scenography. Lewandowsky was a member of the artists’ group “Auto-Perforation Artists.” He works in sculpture, installation, film, painting, and graphic art. He is a self-described conceptualist, and as such, none of his works hang together stylistically, rather they all ask difficult questions in an ongoing conversation - each in non-matching garb – often about the nature of a divided consciousness or country. His work was highlighted this summer in Gregory Volk and Sabine Russ’ heralded exhibition at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in NYC.

Ivan Day
November 12 at 12:00 pm
lecture location TBD
The Edible Edifice - from the medieval period to the early twentieth century, food was frequently used as an artistic medium to create edible sculpture for the tables of the rich and powerful. A papal dinner in seventeenth-century Rome for instance, was not complete without a table centrepiece made of sugar which depicted scenes from Christ's Passion, executed by pupils of Bernini in a lively Baroque style. Full scale architectural structures, such as pavilions and palaces were constructed every year in the Piazza Reale in Naples for the annual coccagna festival. These huge edifices, made of cakes, hams and parmesan cheeses, were used as sets for open air operatic performances before they were ransacked by the poor of the city. In this illustrated lecture, British food historian Ivan Day discusses the history and development of edible art of this kind from the period of the early Florentine Renaissance to the rise of modernity.
