Art is Looking Up II

Have you ever wondered about why the ceilings in the Library book stacks are painted black? Daniela Parlimaru found one reason.

They make a great background for her video art. Here are some images from her work.

See if you can find her installations.

Art is Looking UP

Watch for a library first--a video art installation.

UW-Eau Claire art student Daniela Parlimaru will be presenting her installation on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the library, through the end of the semester.

20 Homecomings Exhibit in Library's Grand Corridor

An exhibit by university photographer Rick Mickelson chronicles the past 20 years of UW-Eau Claire Homecoming celebrations. The exhibit, entitled "20 Homecomings," is now on display in the McIntyre Library's Grand Corridor from Sept. 4 through this year's Homecoming, scheduled for Oct. 5-6. Approximately 40 prints, 16 inches by 20 inches in size, will be featured.

Mickelson's first day on the job at UW-Eau Claire was Homecoming Day 1988. Armed with a camera he had never used before and a long list of photos to be taken during the day, he quickly got his feet wet.

“Since then, Homecoming has been a special workday for me, and 2007 marks the completion of two decades' worth of documenting UW-Eau Claire Homecoming celebrations,” Mickelson said.

The exhibit is co-sponsored by the university's Learning and Technology Services, Alumni Association and Foster Gallery.

VSA Arts of Wisconsin Exhibit

The library will be hosting a travelling exhibit from VSA Arts of Wisconsin in the Grand Corridor and on the fifth floor during the month of August. The exhibit celebrates the art of adults with disabilities, and features award winners between 2003 - 2007. The exhibit is the result of a new collaboration between the library and the Heyde Center for the Arts in Chippewa Falls. They hosted the exhibit in July. The library will be working with the Heyde Center and other local art organizations to host additional exhibits in the coming months.
