    Layering Time and Motion: Paintings and installation by Joonja Lee Mornes
    (2012-12-19) Mornes, Joonja Lee; Boudewyns, Deborah K. Ultan; Klug, Shannon
    Artist, Joonja Lee Mornes, draws inspiration from watching nature in various lights through the seasons. Seasonal, temporal, and phenomenal changes were a constant part of Mornes’s observations while growing up in Korea. Since then her observations have turned from the rice fields to the prairie landscape. Selected paintings and new window installation pieces will be featured in the exhibit, Layering Time and Motion: Paintings and installation by Joonja Lee Mornes, in the Architecture and Landscape Architecture Library at the University of Minnesota, February 7th through April 29th, 2011.

    Tale Spins: Water, Animals, and Ruins
    (2013-05-28) Boyd Brent, James; Boudewyns, Deborah K. Ultan; Klug, Shannon
    Artist and professor, James Boyd Brent’s new work —intaglios, incisions in rock, and drawings— is about ancillary narratives and half-stories. It illustrates moments that may or may not actually be stories, as such, but which allude to the way the mind concocts a world for itself, among worlds. This idea echoes the work of wood-engraver Thomas Bewick, best known for the small vignettes that he made to adorn the end of chapters, and which denote a sense of a story without the story ever actually being spelled out. Abound in his imagery are stories, but they do not necessarily correspond with the main text. In each, the viewer is drawn to look into a small, distinct and illuminated world. Tale-pieces: water, animals, and ruins points at the multilayered nature of existence, and is an invitation to ponder how consciousness lies between one thing and another—water and land, animals and people, growth and decay.
