<strong><em>The Fluidity of Gender: Sculpture by Linda Stein</em></strong><br />
<strong>Public Artist Lecture: </strong>Thursday, Sept. 5, 6-7 p.m., Jones Auditorium, Ragsdale Center<br />
<strong>Opening Reception:</strong> Thursday, Sept. 5, 7-8:30 p.m., Fine Arts Gallery, ARTS Building<br />
<hr align="left" color="#b3b3b3" size="1" width="320" />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In a multi-media exhibition, the artist visually and viscerally answers the questions: Can Wonder Woman Cra-ac-ck Gender Stereotypes?—Are we in the midst of a Gender Revolution?—Are there new definitions for masculinities and femininities in today’s culture and do they see Parity/Protection/Peace as a goal? Artist-activist Linda Stein will bring <em>The Fluidity of Gender </em>to our campus with a talk (6pm) about BRAVERY, which includes scenes from when Stein was duped into being in the movie <em>Borat</em> and also scenes from <em>30 Rock </em>and <em>Grand Theft Auto</em>. A reception (7-8:30pm) in the Fine Arts Gallery will include a performance by St Edward's students. Invite your family and friends!<br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Satellite group update</em>: At the recent Surface Design Association Conference, members met by regions to discuss matters of interest & concern. Diane Sandlin, Executive Director of SDA proposed that local SDA members might wish to meet quarterly for networking & sharing of ideas and techniques. It was noted that the FASA Satellite group provided a model for such a meeting and was already established. At the FASA Board meeting of 29 MAY several members had expressed an interest in establishing relations with local fiber groups for purposes of sharing information and speakers. The synchronicity of these ideas generated a lot of enthusiasm. </span></span></div>

The format for the meeting will be the same as regular Satellite meetings: No business meeting, no refreshments, members are seated in a circle and take turns sharing their work, describing workshops they have taken, art books or articles they have read, or new products they have used. Critiques may be sought for work in progress. </span></span></span></div>

part-time job," Ellen will continue working with us in a transition<br />

Karen Crisp, our still somewhat new advertising manager, had a major<br />
role in this issue with an uptick of ads. Thanks everyone!<br />

Through form and color, the work in this show draws inspiration from the artists’s connection to nature. Growing up in various natural environments, attraction to the fiber medium came as second nature. Living in an environment filled with the artificial, they aspire to return to a natural way of being through art making. These thoughts are expressed though processes including netting, weaving, watercolor, felt, and cellulose fabric.</span></strong><br /> <br /> <span style="color: #45818e;">Oil and Cotton Creative Exchange<br /> 837 W. 7th St. <br /> Dallas, TX</span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: #a2c4c9;">Gallery hours:<br /> Tuesday - Friday, 1 pm - 6 pm<br /> Saturday, 10 am – 6 pm</span></span></span></span></td></tr>
