Is home where the heart is, or where you hang your hat? It all depends on how you remember it, I suppose. Come to the Lionel Rombach Gallery of the Art Department today between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to check out how two artists present their conceptions of "home" as shaped by memory. "The Power and Process of Remembering," a collection of multimedia installations and photographs by Jody Servon and Maria Harper, will be on display until February 11. More information may be obtained by calling 626-4215.
In a warm and generous display of its affection for all you UA students, Eat to the Beat is taking the campus to lunch this afternoon. Well, you won't actually be going anywhere, but you can snag some free food on the Mall at 12 p.m. Canvas (a band from somewhere, I'm sure) will be impressing you with their musical prowess as you digest hot slices of complimentary pizza. This is the first installment of Eat to the Beat's bimonthly free concert series on the Mall, "Groovin' on the Grass." (Not "groovin' on grass," you naughty children.) Jake McLaughlin can give you the whole nine yards at 621-1111.
Just as there can be a difference between how an event occurred and how you remember it, there can be a difference between what your sense of touch tells you and what your eyes see. (How do you think all those Halloween games you play in the dark got started?) Roz Driscoll's current exhibit, "A Sense of Touch," explores this kind of perception via six sculptures designed to be "seen" by your hands. Finally, art you're allowed to touch! Driscoll will be giving an Artist Lecture on her work this afternoon at 12:15 p.m. at the UA Museum of Art. Her show will be running until February 28. Contact Alisa Shorr at 621-7567 for details.
Not to be confused with "quirks" or "snorks": Mark Alford (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) will be presenting his work on "Superconducting Quarks" today from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Physics Colloquium. Be in room 218 of the Physics and Atmospheric Sciences building at 3:30 p.m. to partake of the free refreshments, then head over to room 201 for the lecture. Questions? Nancie Nunez just might have the answers at 621-2249.
After a few decades, we seem to have dispelled the notion that Mars is inhabited by little green men. So what does it really look like? Teams of graduate and undergraduate students in the fields of art, music, and astronomy have mulled this very question over in their collective brains and seem to have come up with a myriad of responses. The resulting projects will be on display today from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Center for Creative Photography as the culmination of the Mission: Mars Project. This contest (of sorts) is running in conjunction with the "Imag(in)ing Mars" exhibit, which consists of newly printed images of the red planet taken by the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP). Give the CCP a ring at 621-7968 to find out more.
