[Cwgrad-announcements] Fwd: Shane: Art-Church at UCR Sweeney Art Gallery

[Alexis Vergalla]

>From Shane Shikis, at The UCR Sweeney Art Gallery:


I'm working on a series of events that will be in conjunction with the CHASS
theme of Religion this year. Short description below; call for proposals
attached. Short description below; call for proposals attached.

I was wondering if there are any MFA students who write about issues
relating to the CHASS theme and would be interested in doing a reading at
the Gallery?

We would publicize it in our press, promotional, and web materials, as well
as on campus. In addition, Geoff Cohen will make it part of the CHASS Theme
events calendar.

We are in the planning stages for this series, but to give you an idea,
there will be a performance piece by artist Todd Gray titled ³Art Church.²
Art Church is a performance event loosely structured like an absurdist
southern church revival. It explores art in relationship and reference to
spirituality. Art Church is not a replica of a southern Baptist church
service, but more of an inspired take on community building through the
sharing of performances emphasizing community and creativity. Find attached
a general call for proposals.

I'm currently looking for faculty and students (undergrad or grad) who could
take part in our series. Events could be as traditionally academic as
readings of essays, poetry, fiction, musical and dance performances, and may
also include temporary art installations. Events will take place inside the
gallery, but could also, if desired, take place on the historic pedestrian
mall in downtown Riverside.

Best.

Shane
