western Carolinian * %Z» L. O ill Artwork of Tibor Kalman on Display in Belk Kalman's Process DATE: TIME: Through December 15 Mon.-Fri. 9am-noon, lpm-4pm LOCATION: Belk Gallery by Holly Rhodarmer Staff Writer To the uninformed viewer, the show in Belk Gallery could seem, at first, as little more than idle scribbling. On closer inspection, the genius of the displayed artist, Tibor Kalman, becomes evident. The show gives a rare glimpse into the creative process of the recently deceased designer. Kalman's originality and innovativeness are seen through his sketches. They read like poetry, whether it is only his notes on his design for a Talking Heads album, or simple drawings of something commonplace. His quirky humor is also unmistakable, revealed in many works, most notably in his Empire State Pencils piece. Random phrases, political tirades and personal notes fill the show. They are the inner thoughts of a man who spent much time appealing to the public. Kalman is best known for M & Co., the New York design firm he began. He also served briefly as editor of Colors magazine. Born in Budapest in 1949, Kalman was forced to flee his homeland with his parents when the Soviet Union invaded in 1956. They moved to Poughkeepsie, NY, when he was eight. In interviews, Kalman often speaks of being ostracized until he learned English. He tapped this sense of isolation to create some of his most powerful work. Also central to Kalman's work are his strong political beliefs. He left New York University for a period to support the Communist party in Cuba. His radical politics were an inextricable lifeline to his design. Kalman's hu- manitarianism was also evident to all who knew him. He often appealed to the American Institute of Graphic Artists to make part of the membership requirement volunteer work. In 1991, Kalman closed M & Co's New -S ^fcrSfc^ci York offices, and began to work for Mario Toscani, the creative director for Benetton. The company had already shocked the advertising world with its brash multicultural ad campaign, which among other things depicted a nun and priest kissing. Toscani hired Kalman to create ads that would embody the radical chic reputation the company was beginning to acquire. This proved to be the perfect platform for Kalman's ideas. He addressed topics from race to AIDS, combining his philosophy with his artistic skills, a combination that elevated simple advertisements to high art. Unfortunately, this dynamic partnership was not destined to last long, and Kalman soon returned to New York and reopened M & Co. In the last years of his life, his hope was to create a retrospective of his work. By the time of his death, May 19, 1999, Kalman had completed his goal. CyVvnii) ] IfcHrt**- M^lAa^ Sketches from Tibor Kalman's portfolio. Perverse Optimist, the 420-page book, is the product of a self-proclaimed perfectionist. But no creativity is sacrificed in this epic of eclectic design. It is an appropriate legacy for the man who commented in a 1998 interview with Charlie Rose, "I use contrary-ism in every part of my life. In design ... I'm always trying to turn things upside down and see if they look any better." Adopt-a-Trail Program Lends a Helping Hand to Great Smoky Mountains National Park by Mary Beth Fugate Staff Writer Every morning as I drive across Balsam from Waynesville to Cullowhee, I am able to look out my window and be amazed by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Over the past weeks, I have watched the trees canvassing these mountains turn from a patchwork of green into a menagerie of autumn color. No matter what season it is or what color cloaks the mountains, they consistently have the power to draw me in and comfort me on those long rides over the mountain to school. I feel fortunate to have grown up here, experiencing the joys the Park offers. Western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee are divided by these ancient hills; separated by them and yet a part of them. These are the oldest mountain formations in North America, threaded with trails of adventure and filled with bubbling waters and crash ing waterfalls. The Park consists of 270 miles of roads, over 850 miles of trails, and 500,000 acres of land. It is home to 50 species of mammals, 80 species offish, 200 species of birds, and 2000 species of fungi. The ecosystems here are so diverse that they are unmatched by other temperate climates. For this reason, it makes an impressive designation for a national park and an international biosphere reserve. The park attracts over 9 mil- Vi lion people annually, and is the most visited national park in America. With this much land and so many people, there is not only room to discover the beauty here, but also many opportunities to help preserve it. The Smokies are wonderful for hiking. Not only may we hike these precious trails, we are also offered the opportunity to help maintain their beauty for oth ers to enjoy. I am referring to the Adopt-A-Trail Program. I took part in this program two years ago and plan to do it again this coming year. Adopt-A-Trail For more information, contact Babette Johnson VIP Coordinator Great Smoky Mountains National Park 107 Park Headquarters Rd. Gatlinburg, TN 37738 I was even provided with a nifty brown ranger-type shirt with a park logo patch and a hand held radio! All joking aside, the volunteer Adopt- A-Trail Program is vital to the maintenance of trails. The Park funding is limited and unable to provide enough full-time workers for trail maintenance. Volunteers are re sponsible for doing trail assessments in which they record the type of users they encounter, the conditions of campsites and shelters, and any major trail damage such as downed trees, damaged footlogs, bridges, etc. While on the trail, the volunteer picks up trash, clears small debris, and may even help with the replacement, repair, and addition of waterbars and stream crossings. Anyone interested in doing this type of volunteer work is welcome. Contributing to a cause such as this is gratifying and enjoyable. The collaboration of time and efforts allow everyone the best possible hiking experience by keeping the trails safe and clean. The Park and I exist in a co-dependent relationship. I need the Park to remind me the essence of beauty and grace, and the Park needs my efforts so it may remain clean and safe; for my own enjoyment and the enjoyment of others.
