Technology-free
artists to discuss exhibit
By Alisha Gomez

The new "By
Hand" exhibition opened in late August at the University
Art Museum in conjunction with a series of different programs
including music, symposiums and gallery talks.
"By Hand" includes artists from all over the world
who have completed artwork by hand without any computerized,
mechanical or other tools.
"The images are very intricate and complicated,"
said Stacey Atchley, director of public relations for the
University Art Museum. "You would think that some kind
of tools were used, but they were not."
Atchley said that some of the drawings are very unconventional
and that the exhibition includes 3-D pieces.
"The exhibition is representative of the new direction
art is taking," Atchley said, categorizing the movement
as "micro-art."
So far there has been positive feedback about the exhibition,
including a review done by the L.A. Times, Atchley said.
Free programs are held in conjunction with the exhibition
as a way to celebrate the works and the artists, such as a
new music noon concert held in conjunction with "By Hand"
at the University Art Museum. Other special programs held
are gallery talks by curators, artists and other experts.
This Saturday, a symposium will be held in conjunction with
"By Hand" at the Gerald R. Daniel Recital Hall.
The full-day symposium will inspect the role of drawing in
contemporary art. The first half of the day, titled "Contemporary
Discovery II: The Role of Drawing in the 21st Century,"
will have two panels. The morning panel will take a look at
how contemporary artists work with the details in their drawings.
The afternoon panel will discuss the role of drawing in art
today. The panels will start at 10:30 a.m. and continue until
4:30 p.m. and is free to the campus and the community.
The second part of the "Contemporary Discovery II Symposium"
will hold a lecture by Jim Dine titled "2001 Zeitlin
Lecture." He will discuss the role drawing has played
in his art. The lecture is from 5 to 6 p.m. and tickets are
$10. The event is sold out, but everyone is invited to attend
the "Contemporary Discovery II" part of the symposium.
