  • 14 WESTERN CAROLINIAN GET A LIFE March 21, 2001 WCU Welcomes Visiting Scholar, Martica Sawin "Art from a Land of Fire & Ice: Icelandic Landscape Painting ■■ By Melissa Dills Staff Writer WCU welcomes its next visiting scholar. Martica Sawin, a woman of many vocations including art historian, contemporary critic, curator, writer, and lecturer, will be speaking on Wednesday, March 28, in room 104 of the Belk building. Her presentation will begin at 7 p.m. Sawin's Wednesday lecture will be previewing for listeners "Art from a Land of Fire & Ice: Icelandic Landscape Painting." This presentation contains Sawin's recent research into how Iceland's unique physical and geological qualities have inspired artists from the 19th century to the present. The paintings will be featured in an exhibition next fall at the Corcoran museum in Washington, D.C. Sawin will be curating this future exhibit. On Tuesday, March 27, Sawin will also give two more presentations; one at 11:00 a.m in room 278 of the Belk building, and one at 5:00 p.m. in room 104. Her morning discussion will be titled "Thinking Abstract, Painting from Life: Representational Painters of the New York School Second Generation." The discussion topic for the afternoon group will cover the impact of the surrealist artists upon the formative years at the New York School of abstract painting. Sawin is famous for her work with these topics, and much of her research is included in her recent book and in various exhibitions in Europe. Sawin is the former chair of the department of history and criticism of art and design at the Parsons' School Of Video Review Design in New York. She is the author of a number of books and publications. One of her most recent jobs has been as the co-curator of an exhibition based on her 1997 book, "Surrealism in Exile and the Beginning of the New York School," which was displayed in the Reina Sofia museum in Madrid and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Strasbourg, France. For more than a decade, Sawin has also worked as a contributing editor for Arts magazine and Art Digest, as well as the reviews editor for the Art Journal. She has also authored several monographs, including large-scale works on Louisa Matthiasdottir, Nell Blaine, Wolf Kahn, Robert DeNiro, and Yves Tanguy. Sawin is currently focusing her time and energy on a revisionist history entitled "From Ashcan to Soupcan, American art 1900-1960." The WCU's departments of art, geosciences, and English are jointly sponsoring this event as part of the Visiting Scholars Series. . All presentations are open to the public free of charge.

What if everything you do or say is predetermined by some unseen author, and all you can do is play out your part until the inevitable conclusion, whatever it may be? Even worse, what if, in this great drama that is your life, you have only a minor role? This is the dilemma faced by the title characters in Tom Stoppard's screen adaptation of his own play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead." In Shakespeare's classic "Hamlet," Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are friends of the prince of Denmark who find themselves used as pawns between the erratic prince and his throne-swiping uncle. Although their involvement is necessary in the story, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern deliver only a handful of lines in even fewer appearances. So, if you exist solely to fill a brief role in a larger story, what do you do with the rest of your time? In the case of this duo, played by Gary Oldman ("The Fifth Element" and "Bram Stoker's Dracula") and Tim Roth ("Four Rooms" and "Reservoir Dogs"), they spend their time trying desperately to figure out what's going on and what they're supposed to be doing. More troubling than those questions, they also can't seem to remember which one is Rosencrantz and which is Guildenstern. The primary pastime of our leading men is wordplay, though most of it is unintentional. If you've ever been amused, appalled, or baffled by the absurdity of the English language, "Rosencrantz" is your film. In a style that will remind fans of "The Princess Bride," this movie takes great pride in its oddly insightful dialogue delivered at the strangest moments. The more adventurous among you will likely adopt the game of question-and-answer after seeing how well it is played by the protagonists. Despite their fumbling search for answers, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern have a bigger problem; a problem Shakespeare wrote for them; a problem ' that's right there in the title: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead. They're just the unwitting victims of the royal drama unfolding around them, and they're not even sure what their role is in all of this, so why do they have to die? Because that's the way it was written. The only player in this tale who truly knows what's going on is the leader of a traveling troop of actors played by Richard Dreyfuss ("Jaws" and "Mr. Holland's Opus"). He is fully aware that all are actors, the opposite of people, and that they have no choice but to play along until "everyone who is marked for death ... is dead." With the same unnerving accuracy with which the actors selected their performance for the king in "Hamlet," the troop's leader foretells precisely what will happen because he has done this before and will do it again. Theatre buffs will no doubt be familiar with Tom Stoppard's play, a famous example of absurdist comedy, while film lovers will be more familiar with Stoppard's more recent work, the award-winning film "Shakespeare in Love." The same sense of wit and fun demonstrated in "Shakespeare in Love" can be seen%ere as well. Unfortunately, the video of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" has gone out of print arid is more than a little difficult to find. However, at least one video store in the greater Sylva-Cullowhee area is guaranteed to have a copy on-hand. Unless you're willing to pay $25- 40 for a used copy on e-Bay, you should be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to see this film, one which is sure to appeal to anyone who enjoys unapologetically smart comedy. If nothing else, you won't flip a coin again without thinking about Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, and fate.
