This will be my third post on Roxanne Jackson. The first was a result of shock and awe. The curator at the gallery I work at showed me her website and while my jaw was dropping and eyes widening I formulated what images I wanted to pull for a post on her work. Its gory, beautiful, brutal, soft, animal, and human. Eventually she had a show at our gallery that is where the second post came from.
Roxanne has been invited as a resident artist at the Zentrum fur Keramik (the Ceramic Center) of Berlin. She needs us to help out by making a pledge to support some of the costs of the trip. I’m happy to say I’ve made a pledge and hope that you do too. Take a look at what she is offering for pledges and learn more about her here. Having met Roxanne personally and worked with her during the installation I have found her to be a dedicated and inspirational artist. Take a look, think about it, and help a strong artist out!

The current Atrium show in the UW-Milwaukee Union will be up for only a couple more days so if you haven’t seen some of this awesome student work yet be sure to stop through. A description of the work is below and beyond that is a portion of the work in the show:
The works reference mass media visual culture in the manner of contemporary painter Johannes Kahrs: the students were to appropriate from any form of televisual, be it movies, television shows, videos, etc. They then had to remove the original context and supply a new one by combining these varying images. They also had to share their televisual pictures through my Classroom without Walls wiki, doubling the theme of ecology and collective constructs. Issues dealt with also involve Roland Barthes’ essay on the Death of the Author, whereby the original intentions of the depicted films or shows were reinterpreted and recontextualized. A full project description is posted on the Atrium Space’s walls.
