Western Carolinian February 29,1996 Features New York Artist Visits WCU by James Gray Staff Reporter A couple of weeks back I was on my way to one of my classes in the Belk Building. When passing the Gallery, located on the second floor, an unmistakably Manhattan cityscape caught my eye. Upon closer inspection, I found more moments of urban hustle and bustle captured on canvas— another cityscape leaned against the wall and a self-portrait, already hanging, across the gallery. Since 1947 Joseph Greenberg has painted some of the millions of faces of New York City. Twenty of Greenberg's paintings, spanning a creative period from 1964 to present, have been on display in the Belk Gallery throughout this month. Last Thursday I had a chance to sit down and talk with him about his work, life and his experiences in Cullowhee. When I walked into the artist- in-residence studio behind the Belk Gallery, he was listening to National Public Radio through a paint-covered radio turned sideways. We shared a laugh about how anything has be turned on its ear to be heard loud and clear. The following are excerpts from the conversation I had with him. So have you lived in New York all your life? Yeah, but I lived in Amsterdam in 1968, with my wife and kids. And I've lived a few other places for short periods of time. But basically, yes. I was bom there and grew up there. It's such a big place with so many different people- you can never run out of ideas living in a place like that. What about the academic environment? How do you feel about being at a university? Some of the people around here are very nice and interesting. But schools aren't always the best environment to be [an artist] in. I have studied under guys [professors]. Back then we wanted to learn, but we weren't concerned at all with degrees. Like recently I heard they now have a doctoral in painting at NYU, and that's just... [shakes head and sighs]. I studied a few places in New York and some while I was in Europe. It's kind of weird how school is like a ghetto, it's like a self-contained little section of a bigger city. Yeah, a lot of academians seem hung up on theory and semantics and stuff like that. (Laughs) I'm definitely anti-semantic. Their favorite words are metaphor, narration and juxtaposition. I think it's important to learn some technique—that helps you convey your ideas. Formal issues should never be most important, Greenburg's temporary studio in Belk contains several works in progress. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Photo by James Gray though. You have to come to the point where instinct and intelligence are one. What stands out to you most about this area as opposed where you live, in Manhattan? I loVe southern accents. The people around here are really friendly, too. But people are people, really—only the customs are different. Here, there, Holland, wherever—there's the rats and then you've got the good people. I have noticed, though, that the same type of people who are socially conscious up there [in New York] are very aware of issues of environment and conservation. That's good, there's a lot of nice stuff to protect. The paintings on display vary from stark bold portraits of bums passed out in the Bowery— a flop house district of New York- to grand views of the night skyline that are a psychedelic blur up close but glow like the Big Apple, the city that never sleeps from across the gallery. The conversation I had with Greenberg emphasized what came through in his paintings: he possesses an artistic eye wide enough to take in the "big picture" and universals of humanity and keen enough not to overlook its nuances Subliminal Message: Buy A Yearbook! 227-7440 Woman of the Night Finds Her Way to Cullowhee by Jon Lauterer Staff Reporter In honor of Women s History Month, LMP has managed to bring one of the most critically acclaimed female stand-up comedians to WCU. Wendy Liebman, who has made frequent appearances on both the Tonight Show and Late Night With David Letterman, is coming to Brown Cafeteria this Friday as part of the Totally Tuesday series. Totally Tuesday on a Friday? It boggles the mind. Liebman was recently featured on the Women of the Night comedy special on HBO. The special featured many of the nation's top female comedians, such as Tracey UUman and Caroline Rhea. Liebman's performance was so impressive that she earned many rave reviews in publications across the country. Liebman is often praised for her highly effective and skillful use of "the throwaway line." Just when you think the joke couldn't get any funnier, Leibman finds the hilarious afterthought that totally catches the audience off-guard. If you need another reason to come out Friday night, you could rightfully say that you saw Wendy Liebman before she was a TV star. That's right, Leibman is currently pitching pilot episodes to the networks for her own show "When I Grow Up," in which she plays a career counselor with no job security. This stand-up comic with 10 years experience under her belt has a bright future in the show-biz world. We should consider ourselves lucky to have her booked on LMP's schedule. So come out and show your support for Women's History Month by enjoying a night of side-splitting entertainment with Wendy Liebman. The show will begin at 9 pm- this Friday night at Brown Cafeteria at a cost of one measly dollar.
