Rome Art Program

RAP_Flyer_2024

I’m Gabrielle Lawrence, Program Manager with Rome Art Program, a NYC-based nonprofit founded in 2009, with annual summer sessions of Painting & Drawing in Rome, Italy. Our students work plein air where the streets and sites of Rome are our studio! This program enhances the students’ artistry that they are already developing at their home university.

IMPORTANT – Fall Term Registration

Dear students – the following information is an important update re: staggered registration periods for Fall 2023. We have recently updated our registration periods to prioritize Majors and Minors – this is an important strategic change that will optimize movement of our growing population of Majors and Minors through our classes, while also still providing opportunity for non-Majors & non-Minors to register for our classes. 

Fall registration timeline:

May 22 – June 2 – Majors Only

June 2 – July 4 – Majors and Minors

July 5 – August 13 (registration closed by Office of Registrar)

August 14 – September 11 – Majors and Minors

September 12 – Open to all 

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that as per School of Art + Design policy the first day of class is mandatory. The first day of class is critically important both as an introduction and as an overview of the learning trajectory and expectations for the term. 

We hope your spring term so far has been inspired and creatively productive!

Illustration and design opportunities for UO students

Hi all,

The Daily Emerald, UO’s student newspaper, is looking for illustrators, editorial cartoonists and designers to join our team in fall 2021! Individuals in these roles work with writers and editors to create accompanying illustrations or page layouts and/or create their own visual stories.

Read more about all our open positions here: https://www.dailyemerald.com/apply/newsroom/

Apply here by August 29: https://airtable.com/shrw1TXFfRL4Gh1aJ

Who are we?

The Emerald is UO’s student-run, independent and award-winning weekly newspaper. We cover everything on the UO campus. Our weekly print editions and daily online content includes visual stories, multimedia stories, news, A&C, sports and opinion. You can find previous issues online (https://www.dailyemerald.com/) or on campus.

Why the Emerald?

The Emerald is completely run by students and is independent from the UO. We can report freely and independently. We win awards for our work every year, and our graduates have gone on to design, write, photograph and create awesome work for places like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Oregonian, NPR, OPB and others. Our reporting has even led to the creation of an Oregon law protecting journalists and their anonymous sources.

You don’t need to be in any particular department or have prior journalism experience to apply — we provide training, mentorship and community for aspiring journalists, producers and creators.

How do I apply?

Apply here by August 29: https://airtable.com/shrw1TXFfRL4Gh1aJ

We’re looking for students with a strong work ethic, a desire to learn and the drive to do incredible work. So if you’re short on experience, don’t worry. We’re looking for students with passion and commitment, not a perfectly polished résumé.

We also believe that good journalism can come from anywhere. Work from those of the most marginalized in society — including People of Color, women, people from low-income backgrounds, and LGBTQ+ people — is especially impactful and important. Hence, we strongly encourage people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities to apply.

If you have questions, email Editor-in-Chief Sarah-Mae McCullough at smmccullough@dailyemerald.com

Invitation to UO Environmental Humanities Sympsium

We’re writing to invite you to a symposium hosted by the College of Arts and Science on Environmental Humanities.  We’ve invited two speakers—Gregg Mitman, Founding Director of the Center for Culture, History, and the Environment at the University of Wisconsin, and Bethany Wiggin, Director of the Penn Program in Environmental Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania—to speak about their environmental humanities initiatives and talk with us about the past, present, and future of the environmental humanities.

The symposium will be held on January 22, 2016, from 10:00-noon and 1:00-4:30 in the Knight Library Browsing Room.  In addition to the morning talks and discussion with the audience, there will be two afternoon panels with our guest speakers and University of Oregon colleagues Adell Amos, Mark Carey, Torsten Kjellestand, Stephanie LeMenager, Andrew Marcus, Brook Muller, Paul Peppis, Marsha Weisiger, Richard York:

Afternoon Panel 1: The Futures of Environmental Humanities

The interdisciplinary field of the environmental humanities has given us new ways of thinking about the humanities as applied knowledge that may help us toward sustainable futures.  The environmental humanities seeks partnerships with the social and natural sciences to intervene in our most pressing problems, including global climate change, mass species extinction, population growth, social inequity, urbanization, and globalization.  How might we position the environmental humanities at UO such that they can make essential contributions alongside other modes of inquiry?

Afternoon Panel 2: Building the Environmental Humanities at UO

Any successful UO center, program, or initiative requires crucial investments in infrastructure and management.  This session discusses a variety of key program issues and questions, including organizational structure and administration, funding and donor relations, the selection of special projects and programs in the environmental humanities, the involvement of colleagues outside the humanities, and the involvement of students at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

We hope you will be able to join the discussion on January 22. [embeddoc url=”https://artdesignopps.uoregon.edu/files/2016/01/ESSposterSmaller-1ajyefs.pdf” download=”all” viewer=”google”]

Eleventh International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences

The Eleventh International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences will be held at Imperial College London, London, UK, 2-4 August 2016.

Founded in 2006, the International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences examines the nature of disciplinary practices in the study of society and the interdisciplinary practices that arise in the context of “real world” applications of social research and theory. The Conference also investigates what constitutes “science” in a social context and the connections between the social and other sciences. The focus of papers ranges from the finely grained and empirical (research practices and results exemplifying one or more disciplines) to wide-ranging multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives on knowledge and method.

We invite proposals for paper presentations, workshops/interactive sessions, posters/exhibits, colloquia, virtual posters, or virtual lightning talks. For more information regarding the conference, use the links below to explore the conference website.

Review: Christopher Michlig, Amy Yoes/Devening Projects + Editions

michlig image blog

Dan Devening, proprietor of the eponymous ‘projects + editions,’ painter, curator and faculty at SAIC, has a good eye for pairing artists. While his Garfield Park gallery typically runs concurrent solo shows in separate rooms within the same space, the aesthetic frisson generated by the works’ proximity is almost always palpable and the dialogue between them inescapable. Case in point: Christopher Michlig’s “To Everyone” and Amy Yoes’ “Structurals and Sightlines.” In Yoes’ multi-paneled installation, an initial feeling of cool intellectualism (possibly provoked by the works’ lack of color) gives way to something more primitive, more vigorously physical. As hard-edged geometric shapes collide head-on with snippets of casual brush strokes and glued-down half-tone dots, the vertiginous spaces they create exact a tidal pull upon the body forcing the viewer to move in close and then take several large steps back in order to reckon with the arrangement. In contrast, her stop-motion animation “Sightlines” literally brings the paintings’ forms to life, but at the cost of our kinesis; we cease moving and instead merely watch.

While Yoes’ “Structurals and Sightlines” rapidly shift from passive to aggressive, the collages in Michlig’s “To Everyone” move in the opposing direction. What begins as an assertive display of hyper-saturated, West Coast color yields a more deliberate exploration of duplication, theme and variation. Based on screen-printed reproductions from a 1961 André Bloc exhibition catalogue, Michlig’s pieces reverse engineer objects that have been reduced to code back into objects again. This process is most apparent in the nine paper constructions whose simple geometry—embellished with stylized drips—resembles a kind of 3D clip art. Immediately appealing, over time the works in “To Everyone” become more ambivalent. Michlig’s luminous collages and constructions hit fast then slow down, while Yoes’ achromatic modular panels seem reserved but then get bossy. On the face of it, these works seem designed to accentuate their differences. But both shows underscore a shared sense of art’s history, an appreciation of the visual language of reproduced imagery and the fusion of different forms of “touch” through collage as a quintessentially contemporary medium.
