SUMMARY:\"Robert Mapplethorpe\: Portraits\"
DESCRIPTION:Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989) became known for his focus on several subjects\, from portraits to still lifes to classical sculptures to contemporary nudes\, some of which made him at least temporarily notorious.

Within his roster of clients are many of the most significant artists\, art dealers\, writers\, musicians\, designers and actors of the period. This exhibition of approximately 100 portraits\, principally drawn from the holdings of the Mapplethorpe Foundation\, includes images of William Burroughs\, Truman Capote\, Marianne Faithfull\, David Hockney\, Grace Jones\, Roy Lichtenstein\, Brice Marden\, Lisette Model\, Alice Neel\, Iggy Pop\, Ed Ruscha and Andy Warhol.

SUMMARY:UA Museum of Art - \"The Stone Palette\: Lithography\, The Early Years (1810-1899)\"
DESCRIPTION:The prints in this exhibition demonstrate a variety of styles and techniques typical of the 19th century\, as demonstrated in this new and exciting medium of the day. It contains very early examples of color lithography as well as black and white prints which have been hand-colored. It also contains two examples of early commercial adaptations of the process\, chromolithographs\, which were used by artists to reproduce paintings or watercolors for public distribution.The term lithography comes from the Greek lithos\, \"stone\,\" and grapho\, \"to write\,\" thus meaning \"to write on stone.\" The process of \"chemical printing\" (as the inventor called it) is just that - writing (drawing) on stone. Lithography was invented by Alois Senefelder in Austria in 1798 and patented as a printing medium in 1799. Originally devised by Senefelder as a process for printing theater scripts\, it saw dramatic investigation and refinement in the early 19th century as both a commercial printing process and as a means for artists to print directly from their drawings to make limited edition prints. In December\, The University of Arizona Museum of Art will present a major exhibition\, which will survey 20th-century lithography.

SUMMARY:UA Museum of Art  Exhibition - \"The Machine Stops (or Inkjet My Foot!)\" 
DESCRIPTION:E.M. Forster's 1909 short story\, \"The Machine Stops\,\" describes a humanity threatened by its complete dependence upon the technology it created. Forgetting that it was the original creator of the \"Machine\,\" humankind grows to deify it\, to worship it\, and ultimately\, to follow it to its own demise. \"The Machine Stops (or Inkjet My Foot!)\" is a limited edition print portfolio inspired by Forster's short story. Using his prescient masterpiece as a point of reference\, the portfolio explores relationships between humanity and the technological world that is increasingly encompassing it. The intent is to present a collection of fine art prints contemplating the implications of technological progress through representational\, abstract and non-representational imagery. It showcases traditional hand lithography as a central medium while incorporating other such processes that accommodate the theme. Andrew Polk\, Organizer Kathryn Polk\, Co-organizer

SUMMARY:\"Fragments in the Dark Until the End of Time\" Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The University of Arizona Graduate and Alumni Gallery is proud to present Orlando Montenegro's \"Fragments in the dark until the end of time.\"In \"Fragments in the dark until the end of time\,\" Orlando Montenegro explores the challenge of painting with sound. The lucidity of natural sound becomes the driving force to create his haunting and ominous opus. He alters\, manipulates and reconstructs his daily aural environment to test the audience to move beyond sight and perceive the daily milieu through an auditory cacophony. \"Like a house reconstructed from the stones of different ruins and functions\, this abstract narrative calls attention to authorities of power and their practices within an outdated economy of nature.\" The composition of segments\, layered and repeated\, fills the gallery space with an anxious inquiry of what is normally \"habit of mind\" by disconnecting sound from sight.Gallery hours are by appointment. Contact the artist at monteneg@email.arizona.edu or 720-266-5948.The Graduate and Alumni Gallery is located in the Visual Arts Graduate Research Lab on the northwest corner of Fremont Avenue and Mabel Street. It is free to the public every day.

SUMMARY:\"Old Window Art\" Exhibit by Sandra Montgomery
DESCRIPTION:Sandra Montgomery paints on old wood-frame windows of different sizes and shapes\, with peeling paint\, tarnished hardware and all. Montgomery states\, \"My first thought is to create a scene you could see looking out a window\, if you had one. The paintings have evolved to still life as well. A well-worn old window is interesting and funky. Yet painted with a scene and hung on a wall\, it becomes fine art. Hung in another window\, with light coming through\, the drama is significant\, the colors expand. Mounted outside on the patio\, it becomes garden art. I am a gardener\, and most of my subjects come from my garden\, the desert\, mountains and a lot of old barns. I am from a homestead family in Yuma\, Ariz. by way of Alabama.\"Montgomery started the Old Window Art business in 2003. A graduate of The University of Arizona\, class of 1975 in radio and television\, she always sketched and painted for fun. She got serious after painting a barn picture on an old wood-frame window from a 1948 house in her central city neighborhood. She fell in love with the art form.Montgomery collects old wood-frame windows from across the country\, from salvage yards\, friends\, construction sites and more. She literally recycles old windows. The dumps are full of them\, broken and wasted. She salvages the whole ones\, cleans them up\, paints them and turns them into art. Still\, they are a limited resource.Paintings are done in permanent acrylic and are sealed to withstand weather. Some window frames are painted\, while others are left natural to show the beauty of the grain in the wood or the ravages of time. Each painting is an original.

SUMMARY:Last Chance to See the UA Museum of Art Watercolor Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Sept. 13 is the last chance to see \"To Have the World in Hand\: The Art of Watercolor\,\" selections from The University of Arizona Museum of Art's permanent collections. The art of watercolor is predicated on the pleasures and challenges of solubility\, on the fluid capabilities of pigment suspended in water and the deft technique it has required of artists for centuries. Organized thematically\, \"To Have the World in Hand\" surveys the sites and subjects of interest to practitioners of the medium\, as represented by works in the UAMA permanent collections. The exhibition features several major watercolorists of the 20th century\, including Europeans Emil Nolde and Raoul Dufy\, and Americans Charles Burchfield and John Marin\, among others. From the earliest\, most traditional examples of watercolor painting to surprising contemporary experiments\, all of the works engage the characteristics of the medium\: immediacy\, transparency\, malleability and luminosity. Many of the pieces on view (landscapes\, street scenes and maritimes) are products of an important \"plein air\" tradition of painting outdoors in close visual relation to a subject\, with a box or tin of watercolor pigments in hand. Others emerge from studio practice and ply the medium in a more controlled environment to often experimental effect. However undertaken\, the works included here demonstrate - in layers of wash - vivid coloring\, staining\, delicacy of dilution\, subtle nuances and graceful gestures - the distinctive art of watercolor. Lisa Fischman\, chief curator

SUMMARY:\"Heritage\" Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The University of Arizona Lionel Rombach Gallery is proud to present \"Heritage\,\" by Chris McGinnis.\"Heritage\" is an installation that represents the industrial legacy of America through its relationship to the land.  Focusing particularly on the automotive industry and the spaces associated with large-scale production\, this installation comments on the gravity of our current crisis by predicting the future decline of American industrial culture. \"Heritage\" is comprised of over 30 paintings placed on the floor surrounding a sculptural spire titled \"American Monument.\"  Directly referencing the Washington Monument\, this piece is created from various cheap construction materials and coated in high gloss automotive enamel.  \"American Monument\" effectively rises from the painted industrial landscape as an icon of impermanence revealing its flawed structure and false integrity.The gallery is free to the public Monday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Joseph Gross and Lionel Rombach Galleries are located on the UA campus between the Museum of Art  and the Center for Creative Photography.

SUMMARY:\"Rogue Wave\: The New Gig Poster\" Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Rogue Wave\: The New Gig Poster\" features 25 gig posters from designers Jason Munn of The Small Stakes\, Aesthetic Apparatus\, Delicious Design\, Dan Stiles and others.Organized by two-dimensional art professor Lawrence Gipe\, the collection has an ongoing theme with an emphasis on design and process over the traditional illustrative content of rock posters. The exhibition displays posters posessing qualities simliar to Munn's design for a gig by the ambient/punk band Deerhunter. The posters contain no faces\, instruments or descriptive elements\; put plainly the posters have nothing literal to do with the band. It is in Munn's combination of static hatching with an assault of clashing colors that the artist creates a design pralleling the band's sonic mission. Several popular bands will be featured in the exhibit including\: Radiohead\, Death Cab for Cutie\, Modest Mouse\, Beck\, Explosions in the Sky and The Flaming Lips.

SUMMARY:Reception for the \"The Ghost Net Project\" and \"Reduce\, Reuse\, Recycle\, Reimagine\" Exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:\"The Ghost Net Project\,\" a collaboration between artist Heather Green and poet Katherine Larson\, uses the physical remains from fishing as a lens to examine historical\, cultural and ecological relationships to the Sea of Cortez. The project consists of 25 shadow boxes constructed with salvaged shrimp boat wood and filled with a display of flotsam and jetsam collected on the rocky shores of La Cholla. Each box is paired with a poem\, an excerpt of which is etched onto its glass facade. In the \"Reduce\, Reuse\, Recycle\, Reimagine\" exhibit\, the three R's are for more than grocery bags. Add a fourth R\, \"reimagine\,\" and they stand for an exciting movement embracing sustainability in book arts. Endpapers made from a poet's T-shirts\, aluminum foil and wax paper finding new life as broadsides\, and chapbooks sharing space through dos-a-dos binding are some of the innovative approaches on display from the Poetry Center's Rare Book Room.

Water is also a source of beauty and\, in fountains and by the seaside\, of calming sounds. Photos reflect the many natural\, cultural and historical dimensions of the footsteps of water in the Middle East. .Appetizers will be provided by Zayna Mediterranean Café. This event is free and open to the public.
