Wendy Knipe Bredhold Media Relations Specialist, News & Information Services 812/461-5259 Ann Lannert: A Survey, features 25 artworks by Evansville native Ann Lannert. Lannert, 83, has created art in various media during her lifetime, but for the past 20 years she has focused on her "composites," enigmatic mixed-media assemblages, either boxed or free-standing. Largely self-taught, Lannert has exhibited regionally for decades in solo and group shows, and has been honored with numerous awards. Her work is held in many private collections and has been featured in reviews and articles. Reliquaries of the Lesser Saints, the latest chapbook from USI's RopeWalk Press, features photographs of Lannert's art accompanying poetry by Amy Fleury. Jumping Off of Cliff: A Tribute to H.C. Westermann pays homage to noteworthy 20th century artist H.C Westermann, known to his friends as "Cliff." Westermann, an American sculptor and printmaker who served in the U.S. Marines in World War II and Korea, produced a tremendous body of work. His sculptures and prints have received much critical acclaim and have been exhibited around the world. The exhibition features 23 artists from across the United States, including Travis Townsend, Ava Larkin, Jerry Monteith, Tim Pewe, Ramona Otto, Gerrit Van Ness, Steve Elliot, Mike McFalls, Dennis Salaty, Corey Stein, Bernard Klevickas, Christina Perri, Greely Myatt, John Roth, Jay Zeiger, Steven Bleicher, Tom Aprile, Bill Moll, Jim Coates, Stacy Latt-Savage, Janet Van Fleet, John Magnan, Ben Sutter, Nancy Raen-Mendez, Donna Dodson, John McNaughton, Andy Moerlein, Gary Keown, Jason Baldwin, Shane Savage-Rumbaugh, Heather DeLonga and Bill Vose. Each of the participating artists used Westermann's work as a launching point for explorations of craft and conceptual depth, while also retaining honesty and humor, clear earmarks of Westermann's work. The exhibition was curated by Rob Millard-Mendez, assistant professor of art. The art center is located in the lower level of the Liberal Art Center on the west side of the USI campus. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and (beginning September 26) 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, call 812/228-5006. |
