Kell Black, Professor of Art at Austin Peay State University, was one of three jurors for this year’s upcoming exhibition of Advanced Placement Student Work to be held at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.  The three jurors selected a total of 35 works from 700 entries submitted by high schools across the state.

Big changes are coming to the Art Department starting July 1.  Dr. Jim Diehr, Dean of the College of Arts and Letters, is stepping down from his post and is returning to the Department of Art where he will teach ceramics, sculpture, and art appreciation.  Dr. Dixie Webb, Chair of the Department of Art, has agreed to serve as the Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Letters while a national search in conducted.  Professor Gregg Schlanger will be serving as Interim Chair of the Department of Art.

Professor Ken Shipley is currently in Nice, France on a site visit in preparation for a study abroad course during the summer of 2009.  More information on the program will be coming soon. 

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone in the APSU Department of Art for everything you have done for me. Thanks for interviewing me, thanks for hiring me, and thanks for putting up with me over the last two years. I have truly enjoyed getting to know you all, and as I embark on this next phase of my career please know that I will remember my time at Austin Peay fondly. I consider you all dear friends. 

If you need me, look me up at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas where I will be the Chair of the Art Department. I’m really not going to be all that far away. 

Farewell, and stay in touch!

Kara Walker (American, b.1969) Freedom – A Fable: A Curious Interpretation of the Wit of a Negress in Troubled Times, 1997   ARTISTS’ BOOKS FROM POSTWAR TO PRESENT

April 19 - July 6

In the late nineteenth century, publishers began to employ artists as illustrators. These books were often printed on fine paper and considered luxury items. Over the course of the twentieth century, artists expanded the idea of an “artist’s book” to new levels. This exhibition will include books by artists such as Kara Walker, Stanley William Hayter, Jasper Johns, Richard Diebenkorn, Robert Motherwell, and John Baldessari. (taken from the Cheekwood Website)
