Textiles exhibit opens at New Harmony Gallery

0

USI
A reception for Textiles, an exhibition by Teresa Paschke, will be held at the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, February 9, during the New Harmony Winter Art and Antique Stroll. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Paschke’s work combines state-of-the-art digital technology with traditional textile techniques. Most recently she has been printing photographs on canvas, utilizing a wide-format ink jet printer followed by hand printing and stitching. This combination of methods evokes the contrast between the multiplicity of digital imaging and the individuality of traditional hand techniques.

In addition, Paschke seeks to illuminate the similarities between historical and contemporary forms of visual expression in her juxtaposition of graffiti and needlework, and explore how cultural ideals can be expressed through the use of ornament and pattern.

Paschke received her Master of Fine Arts degree in textile design from the University of Kansas-Lawrence and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in studio arts from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. She is an assistant professor of integrated studio arts at Iowa State University and a member of the International Surface Design Association board.

The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is located at 506 Main Street in New Harmony, Indiana. Regular hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call 812/682-3156 or go to www.usi.edu/nhgallery.

IS IT TRUE January 28, 2013

The Mole #??

IS IT TRUE the dust up over the fact that 8 members of the Evansville City Council gave in to Mayor Winnecke’s demand that they come into his office for a one-on-one meeting and sign a non disclosure agreement in order to be given a copy of the proposal from HCW Development of Branson, MO to put up a convention hotel with all the trimmings including retail space of the lot next to the Ford Center?…the 9th member of the City Council Al Lindsey requested a copy of the proposal but was denied access because he has a fundamental belief that anything asking to get a $40 Million taxpayer handout should be done in an open forum?…the real cash value of the improvements are going to be what they are with little room for variance so the range of negotiation that will be acceptable to any developer will be small?…building a hotel in downtown Evansville is not the plans to the D-Day Invasion so the cloak of secrecy that the Mayor has demanded is pretty much political theatrics?…before the City Council will vote yay or nay on financing this hotel the details of any negotiation will be made public?…to do everything behind closed doors now under the threat of prosecution for talking is just fanning the fires of mistrust of the Winnecke Administration and oddly enough the fires are being fanned by the Winnecke Administration?…the secrecy has not kept the naysayers from complaining, it has not kept the speculators from speculating, and it will not likely change the eventual outcome?…if this was such a great proposal (as in a private investor is building a hotel with their own money) it would certainly already be made public?

IS IT TRUE that the CCO will not be surprised of a group of innkeepers already doing business in Evansville take the torch of discontent that was started by Mr. Nickolick who owns a local hotel last week?…there are indeed local innkeepers who have done their homework on the feasibility of a hotel in downtown Evansville as a prosperous investment and have determined that it is not one?…one developer is actually going forward with a Comfort Inn and has not come forward to ask for any government handout to do so?…for this or any other private investor to be forced to collect the taxes that are then given to their out-of-town competitor is about as destructive to free enterprise as the Gulags that made people dig their own graves?

IS IT TRUE that old curmudgeon Morton Marcus put what he intended to be a smack down on the state of the State of Indiana in his most recent column?…his factual observations of the trends in the economic progress, or lack thereof in Indiana are something that we all should take to mind and do a careful analysis of why the drip drip drip of prosperity has once again eluded the Hoosier state?… In 2003, Indiana’s per capita income was 9 percent below the national average?…in 2003 Indiana ranked 33rd among the 50 states in per capita income but in 8 short years our rank fell to 40th in the nation at 14 percent below the United States average?…Indiana’s average annual growth rate was only 2.4 percent, the fourth lowest in the nation?…the only states that Indiana seemed to be able to lead in economic categories chosen to profile by Marcus are Ohio and Michigan?…considering that Michigan was the only state in America to lose population from census to census it was only population losses that kept Michigan from leading Indiana?…economic decline is a tough problem to get to the bottom of and one that seldom finds the political will to make necessary changes to fix?…all of the states floating around the bottom of the growth rank have built temples to sport while ignoring critical infrastructure?…these states have also gone for the band-aid of job creation which is to subsidize and celebrate jobs that are lower on the food chain than the ones they replaced?…there are many institutionalized policies that are encouraging the decline of Indiana and other places?…the ranking will not start to rise again until the infatuation with games and fun are replaced in government by infrastructure, knowledge, and investment in intellectual property based business?

Letter To The Editor By Bill Hazelip.

Evansburg, In.

Have you ever wondered why most cities with Evansville’s population size in the fifties continued to grow and prosper, while we struggle to stay ahead of Owensboro, Kentucky!

Well, it is too painful to go into, the lost of industry and jobs, so let’s just stick to the two local arena stories. Hank Roberts built a stadium on the growing East side, which ultimately seated 12,500 and with acres of adjacent parking. The Roberts design had four entrances and 75% of the exterior accommodated exits.

Our city then builds a downtown arena which has a questionable amount of seating, perhaps up to 10,000. The arena has only one front entrance. If there is a plan to vacate they building in an emergency, it has not been shared with the public. Presently, everyone will rush to the front, and the fittest will make it out! Fortunately, most of the handicapped people have already questioned their demise. Limited parking will be a blessing to them!

Now, comes the other part. The city leaders sell the public on an arena with an attached hotel, we even leave one side of the arena, the Southside, blank for the hotel attachment. The “rubber stamp” city council approves the plan. Then we learn that the old hotel is about to collapse due to age, and the plan is discarded. We, are then told by convention experts that the city needs a 400 to 500 room hotel to accommodate conventions, arena and Centre events.

So, after months of planning and delays, we now have a new hotel plan. And just like the old arena plans, the facility to seat 12,500 sinks to 10,000 and just like the former Executive Inn with 500 rooms, the new plan now shrinks to possibly 230 rooms (Courier article 1-26-13.) Unlike Owensboro, Kentucky, this city never aims high on anything. It seems like everything they plan is scaled back, even before a spade hits the ground.

This city needs to sharpen its blade!
