NOTES for week two:
guest lecture: Sarah Jane Lapp
Tuesday,
April 7, 4:00, Lecture Hall I
Sarah Jane
Lapp is is a 36-year-old Seattle-based Renaissance
woman, visual artist and filmmaker ("Chronicles
of an Asthmatic Stripper"), who typically takes
on abstract and cerebral subjects in her finely rendered
hand-drawn "experimental animations." Her
new 24-minute short, "Chronicles of a Professional
Eulogist," narrated by a eulogist in training, is
about a dying professional eulogist's search for a protégé to
inherit the glorious burden of his profession. The semi-fictional
film, which Lapp describes as a "documation," uses
the imagined figure of the professional eulogist to explore
the function of memory, place, and social nostalgia in
our religious imaginations.

NOTES for week four:
guest lecture: Marie Sivak
Tuesday,
April 21, 4:00, Lecture Hall I
Marie Sivak is an artist
based in Portland, Oregon. Her interdisciplinary work
combines stone carving, mixed media installation, fibers,
video, drawing, and performance. Through a rigorous
investigation of the grammar of materials, Ms. Sivak's
work explores the sensory triggers that bring a fleeting
memory toward a kind of physical consciousness. Her
work examines the relationship of lived experience
to dissected and remembered experience. While searching
for the lattice of connections between the intellect
and the emotions, Ms. Sivak’s works give structure
to the ephemeral.

Stephanie Maxwell is a California-born filmmaker who practices a unique form
of animation. Her techniques include direct on film painting and etching, object

worldwide. In addition, she has presented lectures on a wide variety of animation-
and film-related topics, including collaboration across art disciplines. She

NOTES for week seven:
guest lecture: Shaw Osha
Tuesday,
May 12, 4:00, Lecture Hall I
Painter Shaw Osha grew up in NYC and currently lives
in Olympia. She looks to painting as a response to the
ubiquitous glossy imagery in time-based technologies,
but also seeks to inform a 'static' practice with
those same technologies. Her work references methods
of movement such as cinema and photography, and also
suggests performative aspects of installation and relational
aesthetics. She recently received her MFA
from Vermont College of Fine Art.

NOTES for week eight:
guest lecture: Erica Lord
Tuesday,
May 19, 4:00, Lecture Hall I
Native inter-disciplinary artist, Erica Lord works with
themes of race, ethnicity, and gender roles, as well
as concepts regarding memory and the idea of home. Erica
explores these universal aspects in relationship to her
constantly changing identity; a shifting self whose qualities
seem to surface and diminish, depending on her context
or present environment. Erica has had her creative
writing published in Red Ink magazine and has exhibited
at the Montana Museum of Art and Culture, the Carl Gorman
Museum, Aurora University, the Schopf Gallery on Lake
in Chicago, and the Two Rivers Gallery in Minneapolis.

at the OFS Capitol Theatre
Dir. Jan Troell / 2009 / Denmark/Finland/Norway/Sweden/Germany
/ 131 minutes
In early 20th century Sweden, Maria Larsson’s
prized possession is a camera. When hard times force
her to consider selling it, Mr. Pedersen, the local photography
studio owner, convinces her to keep it and become a photographer.
Her husband, Sigge, is not supportive, but her natural
talent with the camera opens up a whole new world of
possibilities for Maria. “Full of character and
incident.”—A.O. Scott, The New York Times
