From mivory at fsu.edu Tue Dec 3 13:10:31 2019 From: mivory at fsu.edu (Celeste Ivory) Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2019 18:10:31 +0000 Subject: [Art-instructors] Sam Van Aken - FAR & Away visiting artists series talk on Tuesday, December 10 @ 7pm Message-ID: Please join us for the final artist talk of the Fall semester at FAR. You don?t want to miss this event! Sam Van Aken | Tuesday, December 10 @ 7pm Sam Van Aken is a contemporary artist and Associate Professor of sculpture at Syracuse University who works beyond traditional modes of art making, crossing artistic genres and disciplines to develop new perspectives on such themes as communication, botany, agriculture, climatology, and the ever-increasing impact of technology. Employing ?anti-structures and unknowing as generative processes?, Van Aken?s interventions in the natural and public realm are seen as metaphors that serve as the basis of narrative, sites of place making, and in some cases even become the basis of scientific research. Sam will discuss work and research involving his Tree of 40 Fruit, living art sculptures and specimens that preserve the diversity of the world's heirloom, antique, and native varieties of stone fruit. Employing ?anti-structures and unknowing as generative processes?, Van Aken?s interventions in the natural and public realm are seen as metaphors that serve as the basis of narrative, sites of place making, and in some cases even become the basis of scientific research. Combining public art and environmental preservation, The Open Orchard will be an expansive new artwork by Sam Van Aken on Governors Island that takes the form of an orchard of 50 fruit trees. Each individual tree will contain multiple varieties of peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, cherries and apples that were historically grown in the New York City region over the past 500 years but which have been lost to climate change and the industrialization of agriculture. The Open Orchard brings these native and heirloom varieties back as living trees and shares them with the public, giving everyone a chance to see and taste fruits that, in some cases, haven?t been available for centuries. At the same time, the orchard will serve as a living gene bank, safeguarding biodiversity for future generations. The FAR & Away visiting artists series at the FSU Facility for Arts Research (FAR) is supported by the FSU College of Fine Arts. Facility for Arts Research 3216 Sessions Road Tallahassee, FL All events are free and open to the public Florida State University Facility for Arts Research // artsresearch.fsu.edu // -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please encourage your students to apply! Posters have been put up throughout FAB (CAB will be posted tomorrow). I have more if you want any - I?ll leave them with Keith in the office. Thanks to John - there will be a photo documentation workshop in the Lightbox on Jan 10! If you have any questions about the awards, please send them my way. Thanks, Liz Announcing the Spring 2020 Art Student Awards Save the Dates: - Art Student Awards Application Deadline: January 27 @ 11:59pm - Workshop for BA/BFA/MFAs: "How to Document your Artwork" January 10 @ 1pm at the CAB lighting studio, LightBox - Excellence in Visual Arts Exhibition Awards will have a separate application portal that will be posted art.fsu.edu ? coming soon! Dear Students, The FSU Department of Art announces the 2020 Art Student Awards. These awards recognize the strength of our students and that means YOU! The Department of Art gives a number of awards to Studio Art students whose work demonstrates exceptional achievement. This spring, the department will offer 33 awards ranging from $250 to $1000. To apply, go to https://fsu.academicworks.com/ After login, fill out the General Application first, and then select College of Fine Arts/Dept of Art Application and complete the art portion as outlined below. Both parts of the application must be completed to be considered for an award. Application deadline January 27 at 11:59pm Preparing your Art Award application ? make it great! Here?s how: 1. Develop a concise yet compelling artist?s statement between 150 and 300 words in length. Start with a brief biographical statement, followed by a description of the ideas that drive your work. SPECIAL NOTE for Undergraduates: If you wish to be considered for an Ann Kirn Scholarship (a $1000 award limited to undergraduate students), you must include a thoughtful description of the role that design plays in your studio practice. 2. Select the five (5) to eight (8) images that best represent your studio work. Be sure that your images are photographed well and cropped as needed. File sizes should be less than 2MB. A video will be considered as one image. Submit your video to Vimeo or YouTube and provide a link within your application. A balance between breadth and depth is ideal. If no two images are related in any way, your submission can appear unfocused. If all of the images are extremely similar, you can come across as short on imagination. Most importantly, be sure all of the images presented are your very best. It is better to submit six great images than to submit six great ones and two weak ones. Learn how to make your images their best ? Workshop for BA/BFA/MFAs: "How to Document your Artwork? January 10 @ 1pm at the CAB lighting studio, LightBox 3. Write a brief description of each image and provide the title, size, medium, and date completed. This is a great opportunity to build on the general comments from your Artist?s Statement through specific information about each image. SPECIAL NOTE: The application as a whole may evolve over several days and is likely to take many hours to complete. Putting the necessary time and thought into it will greatly improve your chances of success. Furthermore, once you have laid the groundwork with this application, you will be better prepared for future applications for awards on or off campus. A sample application is also included at the webpage noted above. Questions?
