Social Justice thru the Arts Mural Celebration Holding Space
The Hatton Gallery presents Social Justice thru the Arts Celebration, Mural unveiling & virtual artist talk by ROSE JAFFE Thursday, September 30, at 4:30 pm | Visual Arts Building.
The Social Justice thru the Arts (SJTA) Summer Institute 2018 brought students from Alliance high schools to campus for a week to learn about issues of gender equity, belonging, access, and justice through hands-on learning with CSU faculty, CSU student mentors, and renowned mural artist Rose Jaffe.
The Mural Holding Space has recently found a new home in the Visual Arts Building on CSU Campus as part as the Engaged Art Walk Initiative, an arts-based community building project and outdoor exhibition space that features rotating installations that integrate art, society, and education. Located on the north side of CSU's Visual Art building, the Arts Walk is a visible space for activating CSU’s Principles of Community, as well as the Art Department educational and outreach missions.
SJTA is part of the summer institutes hosted by the CSU Alliance Partnership. Funding is provided by the CSU College of Liberal Arts and the CSU Alliance Partnership.
DESIGNERS FOR GLASER
International Invitational Exhibition in Homage for Milton Glaser
Sept 16 - Oct 15 | HATTON GALLERY
Opening Thursday, Sept. 16, 4:30 - 7:00 pm
Bolivia Poster Biennial BICeBé, Colorado International Invitational Poster Exhibition CIIPE, National Design Biennial. University of Buenos Aires. UBA, Golden Bee, Consejo Internacional de Diseño del Cartel | CIDC BICeBé, Diseñadores Gráficos Bolivia, Aurea Foundation for Visual Arts and Design, and FINA International Poster Festival University of Buenos Aires. UBA are honored to present an homage to Milton Glaser. They invited their founding members, referents and designer friends from around the world to share their graphic tribute to master Glaser.
«The good is the enemy of the great»
This tribute doesn’t only respond to the will to make one, but to represent in a visual record, the memory of the man, the teacher, the illustrator, the typographer, and the designer; in the same way that he -more than once- taught us the way to reconnect and make the passes with our creative search and profession.
Designers for Glaser is a living tribute not only to Milton’s innovative poster work over many years but he was also a seminal creative force in all manner of international visual communications. He was clever, insightful, mischievous, funny, and thoughtful wherever he found the opportunities. These posters recognize his gifts and contributions with gratitude.
DEGREES
by Odette England
Oct 28 - Dec 11 | HATTON GALLERY
Opening Thursday, Oct. 28 from 4:30 - 7:00 pm. The exhibition will be open on Saturday, Nov 4, 20, Dec 4, 11, from 12:00-4 pm.
Artist Talk Thursday, Dec. 2 at 5 pm | F101, Visual Arts Building, CSU Campus
On December 20, 2019, now known as Black Christmas, more than 120 bushfires raged across southern Australia. One fire at Cudlee Creek destroyed 100 homes, 400 outbuildings, 200 vehicles, 5,000 livestock, and scorched 25,000 hectares of precious earth. It is one small story from Australia’s ongoing ecological crises involving fire and the consequences of inaction.
Odette England
Degrees comprises large-scale photographs in various forms made by Odette England during and in the aftermath of the Australian bushfires of 2019-2020. England spent six weeks photographing in one of the fire zones and collecting buckets of ash, which she rubbed into the surfaces of her prints. The works speak to loss; the fickle and uncontrollable nature of fire; the urgency of change; and of how we learn, forget, remember, and persevere.
Odette England (Australian/British, 1975) is a permanent US resident and lives and works from New York and Rhode Island. She uses photography, sculpture, collage, performance, and writing to explore themes of land, gender, and ritual. Work from Degrees is nominated for this year’s Prix Pictet, the world’s leading prize for photography and sustainability.
