Painter uses 'subversive' humor in work | |
 A detail from Julie Heffernan's "Self Portrait as Gourmand" (1994). |
Julie Heffernan, a nationally exhibited painter, will speak about her work for Washington University's School of Art at 9:30 a.m. Friday, Nov.13. The talk, which is free and open to the public, will take place in the Bixby Hall conference room. Heffernan, who exhibits her work at two New York galleries, Littlejohn Contemporary and PPOW, paints pictures that at first glance have all the polish of an old master's studio but which, upon further inspection, reveal an incongruent and often humorous overlay of juxtaposed images. |
Exhibit showcases wide-ranging work | |
Associate Professor of Architecture Adrian Luchini's skill at integrating site and context with exceptional design will be highlighted in an upcoming exhibit of his work on two contrasting projects. The exhibit of his designs for a transportation center in downtown St. Louis and a chapel on a wooded site in the heart of Tennessee will be on display Nov. 19 through Dec. 18 at Givens Hall, first floor. Luchini's designs for the Beersheba Chapel for the United Methodist Assembly camp in Beersheba Springs, Tenn., symbolize the momentum of the church as it enters the new millennium. While the religious retreat center traces its roots back to the pre-Civil War era, Luchini created a 224-seat chapel that at once draws inspiration from the natural setting and embodies new architectural expression. |
