  • Page B-5 WESTERN CAROLINIAN June 15th, 2012 ARTS: AND EN ERTAINMENT Fine Arts Museum Unveils This Summers Exhibits Tyler Auffhammer, Staff Writer The Fine Arts Museum at Western Carolina University will host a number of new exhibits this summer. Interim Director of the Fine Arts Museum Denise Drury gave The Western Carolinian a sneak peak at a few of the exciting new dis- plays. Opening first was RE+ constructed, which opened Thursday, June 7, with a 5 p.m. reception. The exhibit runs through Friday, August 3; Re+ constructed brings together the work of Heidi Field-Alvarez of Henrico, Va., Jeana Eve Klein of Boone, Carolyn Nelson of Elon and Jen Swearington of Asheville, who explore the connection between cloth, history and narrative through their work. Technically, their works are quilts, but by using unique processes and mate- rials like digital and screen- printing to recycled fabric and paint, the innovation of these four artists breaks the traditional ideas surrounding quilt making. While unique in their own ways, these four artists meet on common ground through their manipulation of cloth to tell a story, be it a dream, a tall tale or simply a memory. Ret+ constructed is an exhibit that Ive been in- terested in for years, said Drury. Previous to my work - here at WCU, I was direc- tor of a gallery that exhib- ited the work of Jeana Eve Klein. Aside from being both aesthetically and tech- nically very interesting, her work was well received by the community of art enthu- siasts. Ever since then Ive wanted to partner again with Jeana on an exhibition about contemporary fiber art with a focus on quilted techniques. We were expecting about five works per artist and thats just what we got, continued Drury. Heidi Field Alvarez is quite pro- lific, so weve include sev- eral more of her works in the exhibit. Opening June 7 and run- ning through August 3 is Flora & Fauna: WNC Art Educators Juried Exhibit, an exhibit that celebrates the work of artists who teach in schools across western North Carolina. The theme of this years exhibit is the flora and fauna of the Southeast. This exhibit is a fantas- . tic opportunity to see exactly what our local artists are up to, said Drury. Lasting Impressions: Print Portfolio of Contempo- rary Native American Artists from the Fine Art Museum Collection will run concur- rently with the art educators exhibit, and the two exhib- its will share a reception at 5 p.m. Thursday, July 19, with art educator awards an- nounced at 5:30 p.m. Lasting , Impressions was acquired by the WCU Fine Art. Museum in 2005 and was printed in a limited edition of 35 by master print- er Jack Lemon of the Arizo- na State University Press. Rounding out the sum- mer exhibits is Drawing on a New Deal, a rediscovery of a largely unknown body of work by John Heliker, an accomplished draftsman. This exhibit will run through Sept. 7. Heliker developed a per- | sonal, expressive approach to drawing during the Works Progress Administration. Af- ter World War II, he earned acclaim for his bold experi- mentations with biomorphic and architectonic abstraction. For more on Heliker, Drury said, The early car- toons and sketches on dis- play at the Fine Art Museum are Helikers contribution to political activism of the 1930s. Based in Social Real- ism, an artist movement in the 1930s that depicts social injustices, these works are much like those Heliker pro- _ duced for The New Mass- bby es, a prominent American Marxist publication of the same era. As Heliker pro- gressed in his artistic career, he developed a nuanced im- pressionistic painting style in direct response to abstract expressionism, a prevalent artist style during his early years as an artist. One paint- ing in this exhibit is from our own Fine Art Museums col- PHOTO BY AMELIA HOLMES The Re+constructed reception took place June 7 lection. This exhibit is also ap- pealing to reach a wide range of audiences. Students studying his- . tory, political science and public administration would find historical and political themes in this exhibit very interesting, said Drury. On the exciting lineup of summer exhibits, Drury said, I truly have to say Ive enjoyed working on each of. these exhibits. We at the Fine Arts Museum deliberately try to bring exhibits that dis- cuss a variety of themes and showcase a variety of art forms. This summer takes the cake; in one visit to the mu- seum you'll see examples of drawing, painting, printmak- ing, photography, sculpture and fiber arts dealing with a variety of themes from social justice, gender issues, Native American identity and na- tive plants of the southeast. I am very excited about both RE+constructed and the Heliker exhibit. In October, the Fine Arts Museum will host the North Carolina Glass 2012 exhibit in celebration of 50 years of studio glass in America. This exhibit will feature a number of contemporary glass artists living and working in North Carolina. This is an exciting exhib- it because it places seasoned glass artists alongside newer up-and-coming artists. Cu- "rated by Joan Falconer Byrd and myself, our goal is to present the finest examples of contemporary glass in North Carolina today, said Drury.

The WCU Fine Art Mu- seum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday (and until 7 p.m. on - Thursdays). Admission and parking are free. Learn more. online at fineartmuseum. weu.edu. Lex Menz, Co- Editor -in-Chief Will actress Kristen Stewart ever not have two men fighting over her? The new film Snow White and the Huntsman takes a darker approach at the classic Grimm Brothers fairytale with elaborate cos- tumes and breathtaking spe- cial effects. When the queen of the land dies, the king is incon- solable until a mysterious army of knights threatens the land. Upon defeating the army, the king discov- ers their prisoner, a beauti- ful woman named Ravenna, played by Charlize Theron (The Italian Job, The Ci- der House Rules). Ravenna is actually an enchantress who kills the king, locks up his young daughter Snow White and takes over the kingdom. To keep up her young appearance and make her magic stronger, Ravenna must take the youth of young girls often. Several years lat- er, Ravennas magic mirror : ells fer tot ot inne is she no longer the most beauti- ful woman in the land, the prisoner Snow White will give Ravenna the youth and beauty so that she never has to take another girls youth. Ravenna will become pow- erful and young forever with Snow. Whites fair, pure heart. In the meantime, Snow White, played by Kris- ten Stewart (The Twilight Saga, Adventureland), escapes, and Ravenna or- ders The Huntsman to go after her. The Huntsman, played by Chris Hemsworth (Thor, The Avengers) sees through the enchant- resss lies and decides to help Snow White through her escape and desire to win back her fathers kingdom. The movies special ef- fects were beautifully and painstakingly done. From the bridge that turned into a monstrous troll to the heart- warming scenery in the land of the fairies, the special ef- fects used to create the magi- cal world were top quality > Sb le lel |r fe >| ae = [> fo a monster with e anal ade the r movie worth e watching. The troll, a. huge lug of. distorted features, towered above the Huntsman and Snow White bellowing and swinging his lethal arms. His movements were smooth and realistic as well as his coloring and how he looked against the back- ground. On the other side of the scale, the beauty in the fairy forest with its CGI animals and moving scenery allowed moments of light to appear in the dark film. Mushrooms with blinking eyeballs, tur- tles made to look like mossy rocks and the slightly creepy fairies had amazing realistic tendencies. One could ex- pect to stumble across them in a Cullowhee forest. Another brilliant special effect creation was whenever Ravenna transformed from old to young to old again. Theron actually looked like she was a 90-year-old bit- ter woman one minute then the fair, ageless enchantress > o> a @) 2 Bic De [m {> |> | EAL ee Ee hal fle 3 [2 |<|o : Pind Loe He cones were also commendable with sev- eral different looks that all alluded to power, beauty, and a cold heart. Kristen Stewart, whose acting is usually poked fun at, tried hard to display more than one facial expression throughout the film. She even smiled a couple of instances. Thankfully, she also did not stutter through her lines, which is a popu- lar style as seen throughout the Twilight films and in her indie roles like Adven- tureland and The Yellow Handkerchief. Instead, her voice was calm and steady with a slight accent. It could not have hurt that her lines were few and far between. If you want to see how far special effects have come along, this is the movie to see. Children under 10 are not recommended for scary, intense scenes,and malicious violence.
