Each year, students, professors, and professional artists inundate the campus with their work.[Our goal has been to take this year’s celebration a step further, not merely increasing the number of exhibits and performances as we’ve done, but to pick a theme which challenges both artists and viewers to reconsider their relationship with the creative process. For the fourteenth annual Reed Arts Week, I present the theme: MANUFACTURE. What is the difference between creating and manu- facturing? Does the concept behind the production of art distin- guish the final product? How much does our idea of art depend on the notion of an organic creative process? Can a manufactured product still be art? The answers to these questions, if indeed they even have answers, depend on what it is that the artist struggles to communicate through his or her work. I hope that by encouraging this year’s RAW contributors to consider the idea of manufactured art, we will all look more closely at the "creative process", that journey from initial inspiration to a final prod- uct, and think about the basis of what it means to make art. The most important part of RAW this year is the increasing vis- ibility & versatility of the student body art. All of the student artists, as well as all the student volunteers, are the essence of RAW; being a part of art for art’s sake. Thank you all for your dedication. Siiri R.

Vollum Lounge: Wednesday- Sunday ** co-sponsored by a. installation the Art Department ** Photography by: Patrick Nagatani “Nuclear Enchantment” -and- Leigh Anne Langwell “Photograms” Patrick Nagatani’s Patrick Nagatani’sNagatani’s, “Nuclear Enchantment” is a commentary on America’s fascination with nuclear power. Nagatani uses ironic humor in his post-apocalyptic scenarios, emphasizing our inability to realistically grasp the tremendous threat of nuclear fallout. Each photograph is a collage, juxtaposing the recogn izable against the distorted horrors of nuclear destruction. Nagatani has conducted extensive research into governmental atomic activity, including nuclear dumpsites, test centers, and accidents. He balances the grave political and social implications underlying his work with an appreciation for persever- ance and regeneration, depicting otherworldly landscapes that seem enhanced by their nuclear distor- tions. An Associate Chair and Professor of Art at the University of New Mexico, and the recipient of many grants and awards, Nagatani has exhibited his photographs internationally. Leigh Anne Langwell’ Leigh Anne Langwell’Langwell’s award winning “Photograms” reflect the New Mexico artist’s background in biological and medical imaging. Langwell creates her photograms in the manufacture darkroom without a camera or negative, laying her own latex sculptures on photographic paper and exposing it to light pulses. The resulting shadowy images appear to offer a microscopic 2003 peek into the inner workings of the human body. Langwell envisions the interstitial spaces between cells as a conceptual landscape, where the abstract and literal meet. The organic quality and dark, oceanic spaces of Langwell’s photograms intermingle notions of artistic and scientific creativity. Langwell has worked as a college lecturer, graphic artist, and a technical writer, and has been exhibiting her photography nationally since 1993. She has been recognized with many awards, including the James D. Phelan Award, a Wilard Van Dyke Memorial Grant, and a Francis Elkins fellowship at the University of New Mexico. e. lectureLecture by Patrick & Leigh Anne on nuclear mauf- acturing & photograms.

Glass art Wednesday-Sunday encompasses a wide range of subjects, from the classic Venetian goblets to free form sculpture. Each handcrafted piece is a unique blend of imagination, technique, and chemistry. Diane Ahrendt, proprietor of dragonfly studios, finds “a strange delight in smashing a vase or bowl that didn’t turn out right, only to use it in the next piece with wonderful results.” Toledo, a painter and glass blower, has found the light and color properties in glassblowing to be similar to painting, although the reflective and refractive prop- erties in glass are real rather than implied. These pieces remind the viewer that the production of utilitarian objects can be an inspired, creative act. (Some works are for sale, price list available through Student Activities) Reception for glass blowing exhibit. g.

Installation Pete Beeman “Portrait of the Artist as a Schoolboy” On displayd in Vollum Pete Beeman, a Portland based artist, applies Lounge: Wenesday- his engineering skills to the design of interactive ki- Sunday. netic sculptures. Based around ideas of motion, his sculptures come to life with a blend of clumsiness and grace. Beeman calls the functions of his objects “extravagant and useless, more often a play on utility than they are utile.” For Beeman, engaging art is a form of communication. His creations confront our society’s emphasis on efficiency, questioning the meaning of utility and functionality. Beeman holds a Master’s Degree from Stanford University in Art and Mechanical Engineering, and has exhibited his sculptures nationally.
