	University art lecture intrigues audience   By Jason Kosareff Daily Forty-Niner Despite having only a half-hour to demonstrate, Roxanne Sexauer delivered an intriguing lecture on a new art exhibit titled "Sequences," on Tuesday.  About 50 people attended the lecture, which was in the University Art Museum.    "I can extemporize for ever," said Sexauer, who is associate professor of the art department. ìFor a lot of the work it really is important to spend more time.î   Sexauer is the second lecturer in the "UAM@ noon" lecture series.  The exhibit features diptychs and triptychs of prints arranged in careful order to give a "quotation" effect, Sexauer said. Each print reflected the one next to it, or two prints enclosed a third piece, which is in the center.  For example, one piece features two silhouetted faces in silver on black paper. One piece of the triptych hangs on each side of a silver dot, also on black paper, giving the effect of a quotation. But frankly, the meaning of the piece is easily lost on the casual observer. In the case of Marcel Duchampís prints, the pieces are hung chronologically.  "Prints are multiple originals," Sexauer said. "I think that is where people get confused." Some of the pieces in the travelling exhibit suffered some wrinkling from the way they were mounted in Germany.  Constance Glenn, director of the museum, said she complained to a representative of the manufacturer beacause of the frames in New York and new replacements arrived Wednesday. While the technical aspects of most of the pieces are excellent, there are pieces where it is unclear what the artist intend to convey.  The lack of time given to the lecturers in the series seemed to be the only complaint coming from the lecturers and attendees.  "I donít think there was enough time because Iím not a print major," said  Annika Miyashiro, a general art major. "There was too much information in too little time." "There was not enough background information [on the artistís history]," said Danielle Romo, a graphic design major.  "The lecture series is designed for people to come over on their lunch hour," Glenn responded.
