Western Carolinian Entertainment January 21, 1982/Page 19 Photo by Rick McDaniel Arts Exhibit by Chuck Arney The fact that "fiber arts" no longer consists primarily of weavings is strikingly displayed in the Fibers National Invitational Exhibit now in the Belk Art Gallery. If you expect only patterns of "homespun" type handiwork you will be most surprised because the Fibers '82 show contains works that go far beyond those traditional concepts. Among the first works encountered upon entering the gallery are Lenore Davis' fiber creatures at work and at play. The netted Fiber Spirits are suspended and swing with glee while Three Seated Smoking Ducks enjoy watching passers-by, seemingly sharing secret comments among themselves. Stations of the Heart and Fiber Spirits are creations of true sensuous beauty as the figures float in their quilted velveteen existence. Sas Colby's Money grabs the viewer's attention by its brilliant red background with a virtually illegible passage stitched into it, the words changing colors from black to iridescent green. The postal service could certainly benefit if more letters were resembling Colby's "mailings" to Monet, Bonnard, Magrite, Ravel and Christo! Joan Lintault offers a blend of the age-old fibers tradition with more modern technology with xerox transfers on cotton based materials with the highly systematic cluttering of Leaves and Fishes and the enigmatic stuffed designs of Heavenly Bodies. The transfer technique is also demonstrated by Men Kaufman in his Glove Mosaics, though the finger and color patterns obstruct one another. Martha Heine and Margaret Windeknecht have remained with the more traditional handling of fibers with their basic weaving patterns and, though Heine's tapestries are colorful, do not quite seem up to par with other creativities in the exhibit. Their works surpass only those by Sylvia Seventy whose handmade paper bowls create a rather dull spot in the gallery. The mylar and metalic glitter of Gerhardt Knodel s pieces provide the most stunningly elegant facets of the exhibit by combining traditional weaving and materials with modern synthetic media. Each work takes on a different feature from varied distances of viewing. Close the works seem intricate and shimmery, while at several paces they become mesmerizing abstract visions of inexplicable tranquility. From any distance to any angle, these works contain so much variety in their visual effects that they never become uninteresting. The exhibit is co-sponsored by the Department ol Art and the LCE Committee and runs through February 9. Belk Art Gallery hours are from 9 - 4 daily. In this area of the country where perhaps the best traditional hand- weaving is produced, it is most educational and enlightening to see works created by artists throughout the country employing more avant-garde techniques and materials. "Preservation Hall" New Orleans9Finest The Preservation Hall Jan Band, the New Orleans musicians who have traveled the world playing the famous music they created decades ago, will perform in concert Sunday, Jan. 31 in WCU's Reid Gymnasium. Now in their 60s, 70s, and 80s, the band members still play with the spirit and joy that is symbolic of New Orleans jazz. They are the musicians who not only made musical history with New Orleans ja/z, but are perpetuating it. It's the same sweet-sad-gentle-exuberant music that has remained alive in New Orleans' famous Preservation Hall. Preservation Hall jazz is not Dixieland, lt is music that came out of the turn-of-the-century street parades, saloons, and river boats, but most of all was born in the hearts of people who worked and danced, laughed and cried. It's music played by men who worked the docks all day but weren't too tired to blow their horns most of the night. Historic Preservation Hall, at 726 St. Peter Street in New Orleans, is more of an idea than a structure. Pretty it's not—but to many it is beautiful when judged b> the superb sounds that draw jazz lovers to it each night. The building needs painting, floor boards are loose, the seats for listening are old benches, loose cushions and odd kitchen chairs. The same wicker basket which held donations in the earlv davs of the hall is still in n*e There will be no printed listing of the numbers to be played in a particular concert. The musicians themselves don't know what they'll play beyond the opening and closing numbers. They play what they sense is appropriate. Today the Preservation Hall Jazz Band is made up of a pool of musicians of which there are three separate groups. This enables them to be on tour, play at Preservation Hall in New Orleans and do >pot dates all at the same time. For the most part the band membe- s are elderly and by necessity last minute changes are made at times due to illness or unavailability per doctor's oiders. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band's performance at Western will be sponsored by WCU Lectures, Concerts and Exhibitions Program. The concert will begin at 8 p.m. in Reid Gymnasium. Tickets at the box office are $5 for adults and $2 for non-students. Western students are admitted for $1 with valid identification cards. Subscribers to the LCE series are admitted without charge. Ticket information may be obtained by contacting Dr. Doug Davis, telephone 227-7234.
