Curator’s Tour Of Oliver Herring @ Tang

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Tomorrow (3/18) at noon Ian Berry, the Malloy Curator at the Tang, will be giving a curator’s tour of Oliver Herring’s exhibit Me Us Them. Herring, the man behind November’s TASKparty, has had work showing at The Tang since January. The exhibition includes several of Herring’s early knit-Mylar objects, experimental videos, complex photo-collages, and documentation of recent TASK events, which invite participants to shape the work. Herring’s larger pieces orbit around a central gallery space meant to simulate an artist’s studio.

The Tang website has a brief slideshow of some of Herring’s work here, and more information on Tomorrow’s tour here. For more information about Herring’s upcoming TASK event in Saratoga click here.

Art History Welcomed To Adult Table By Other Depts.

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

The Alfred Z. Solomon Residency brings two eminent art historians to campus this week not only to address students and faculty, but also to celebrate the separation of the Art History Department into an independent academic department. Formerly of the Art Department, Art History makes this leap of maturity just in time to sit at the adult table during the annual “Departmental Thanksgiving Dinner.”

“Although future Solomon Residency events will likely feature artists and critics as well as art historians, the first will spotlight scholars Robert S. Nelson of Yale, speaking Thursday, Nov. 20, on “New Canons and Protocols of Art and Art History,” and James Elkins of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, who will address “The Future of Art History” on Friday, Nov. 21. Both lectures will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the Payne Room at the Tang Museum; a reception will follow the Friday lecture.” <via Scope>

TASKparty

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

If you have eyes (obvi you do, this is the internet lol) you’ve probably already seen those pretty TASK posters around campus. Intrigued?

“TASK is a community-based improvisational event, a creative outlet for all participants, an open ended social experiment, a party, and the brainchild of world-renowned artist Oliver Herring. It is an art event generated by a pool of tasks, written by participants and made possible by a variety of props. When a task is completed, the participant writes a new task and the event builds from then on.”

Come, create, destroy, dance, perform, meet people, make a mess, talk to the artist, yell, kiss, explore, Oliver Herring, DJ Skywalker, Thursday, 7pm, Tang, Case Center, bring fun things.

Ninety One Point One Night of Fun

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Following the success of last weeks Mount Eerie and Julie Doiron concert WSPN is hosting two events this Thursday night. Firstly the Saratoga “psych/electro amazingness band extraordinaire” Charlie Everywhere is performing on the roof the Tang museum. The concert is early (7-9pm), so hopefully it wont be a repeat of last year’s world record breaking up of the Snakes Say Hiss concert in the same location. Opening for Charlie Everywhere are the boys behind Thursday nights at MARE so come early. Once you’ve had enough “psych/electro amazingness” (or the clock strikes 9) head over to Case Gallery for WSPN ON-AIR a WSPN sponsored art exhibit featuring program guides, clouds and 24 hours of WSPN broadcasts. Facebook encourages a “mass exodus” of people from the Tang to Case so maybe you can tag along.

P.S. Tons of art show goodies like cheese and stuff at the exhibit. so yea…
