Eugene
Bussey, Jr. photographer and Curator of Art Speaks at the Fuller
instructed a workshop in Matting and Framing - Your Art Work. This
half hour television workshop illustrates why matting and framing are
crucial in enhancing and protecting artwork. For artists, matting and
framing your artwork makes it more attractive and appealing. This program
gives you an opportunity to consider doing it yourself.
Topics
covered in this workshop included acid-free products, precise measuring
tools, dust covers, hanging wire, non-glare glass, and metal and wood
frames.
We would
like to extend our sincerest thanks to the artists involved in the
workshops for their time, effort, and wonderful presentation of three of
our most popular and talked about shows.

Paintings
on pure silver. The artist's paintings refer to value and strength
and include purses, Superman capes, and the statement of weight in
ounces. The weight paintings are simple white letters on black
backgrounds, borrowed from the work of On Kawara, who has been making one
painting with each day's date as an ongoing project for years. The
artist sets her prices at 10% below the opening day's market value of the
silver.

Video
Shorts: Doomtown Submitted by Robert Dohrmann This work is a simulated
film trailer regarding an anticipated nuclear related catastrophe.
Keeping in the spirit of a 1950's and 1960's era trailer releases, the
video examines a typical American city and typical American families under
a nuclear attack.
The
video incorporates the footage of actual nuclear tests from the Nevada
Test Site, layered with "over the top" dialogue trying to sell
this fictitious film. This is meant to add both humor and an ironic
element of apocalyptic catastrophe. Imaginary cities were set up in
the early 1950's by The Atomic Energy Commission using everyday American
consumer good, with the characters played by store-bought manikins, to
test survival in the event of a nuclear attack.
Many
of the images in this video will be very familiar and have in fact become iconographic
representatives of American Civil Defense Testing.

Christina Chang : Mixed Heritage Familiar Objects
Videotaped
on location at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center
Christina
Chang creates artwork that deals with her mixed ethnic background and it's
interplay with her American heritage. As a Chinese-Italian-American
Woman, Christina creates work that deals with her complex ethnic
make-up. She creates two-dimensional and three-dimensional mixed
media sculptures that use primarily Chinese and Chinese American
imagery. Non traditional at materials, such as chopsticks and
synthetic hair are used to create her works of art and images of Chinese
American culture are seen in her large sculptures of fortune cookies.
"Chang
takes inspiration from her own Chinese-Italian-American family photos and
images, the media, and American pop culture, and she takes exception to
Asian American stereotypes as she sees them in everyday life." Massey,
Annabelle, The Met, #26, July 1, 1998
