And then, a flash of fire, passing us, hooking us in its trail, pulling us along with it, a tiny meteorite plunging down into earth’s atmosphere... WE FOLLOW IT Down burning through night sky, clouds, then out over the ocean, plunging into the water with a burst of steam. After a moment, there’s another plop, another burst of steam. And then, like raindrops, hundreds of tiny fragments begin striking the ocean, when suddenly- A HUGE fireball, CRASHING INTO THE OCEAN- dragging us under- Revealing a title, coming up slowly, from the murky depths... POWER RANGERS SLAM TO: A dead fish. Out on the beach. Dozens...no, hundreds; it’s a mass wash-up, disgusting, covering the beach of idyllic ANGEL GROVE, California, as far as the eye can see. School buses are parked next to the beach; it’s a big volunteer clean-up, people everywhere. We’re near a carnival pier, the centerpiece of which is a huge, colorful, old-fasioned ferris wheel. A sign reads “WELCOME TO ANGEL GROVE, HOME TO AMERICA’S 4TH 5TH LARGEST FERRIS WHEEL!” The pier is clearly currently closed. JASON Scott, 17, kneels next to a shark. Jason’s alpha male good-looks and natural athleticism are dampened by an immediate aloofness; he’s rough around the edges, anxious. JASON Look at the teeth on this guy. William “BILLY” Cranston, 17, approaches behind him, putting fish into a plastic bag solemnly.

  • Thomas Erben Gallery
    Thomas Erben Gallery Photography Out of Germany Sofia Hultén, Annette Kelm, Heinz Peter Knes, Alwin Lay, Michael Schmidt, Kathrin Sonntag, Tobias Zielony May 25 - June 24 Opening Reception: Thursday, May 25, 6 - 8:30 pm Thomas Erben Gallery is pleased to present Photography Out of Germany, a group exhibition of photographers who engage and expand the practice of contemporary German photography. The exhibition considers how photographic production in Germany has evolved, expanding past its identifications with the Becher school, Minimalism, and Conceptual Art. While photographers continue to employ these aesthetics and formal tropes – seriality and the index, for example – the turn towards performance, humor, process, and an integration of multiple media is producing invigorating works that challenge the conventional associations of “German Photography.” The exhibition explores some of the recent practitioners whose work has grown out of this dynamic, historically-rich context. Michael Schmidt, Untitled (from Frauen), 1997-1999. Gelatin Silver Print, 44 x 30 cm each, ed. 6. In 1976, Michael Schmidt established the Werkstatt für Photographie at VHS Berlin-Kreuzberg as an international center for photography in West Berlin. Schmidt is known for his meticulously composed series of black and white photographs, such as Stadtbilder and Frauen. In two images of Stadtbilder from the 1970s, he depicts vacant sights from Berlin’s streets. Taking up the divided city as his subject, the artist avoids over-determined symbolism in favor of deserted sites that he richly imbues with a social focus. In Frauen, he pairs portraits of women with secondary, indirect images in which his camera lingers on clothing, texture, and tone.

LEO PERDUE Dissertation Director ______________________________________DR. TONI CRAVEN Reader ____________________________________ ____DR. KERI DAY Reader _______________________________DR. JEFFREY WILLIAMS Associate Dean for Academic Affairs ________________________________DR. NANCY J. RAMSAY Dean Copyright @2011 by Alphonetta Beth Terry Wines All rights reserved ABSTRACT AND METHODOLOGY Images of God, positive and negative, create an ongoing tension in the biblical text. This tension is due to the paradoxical character of God as seen in Exod 34:6-7. The cognitive dissonance created by the juxtaposition of positive and negative images of the divine is unsettling for many people. Consequently, these negative images are often overlooked. This project addresses one of the neglected images, the image of God as enemy. It seems peculiar that, despite the regularity of Israel’s complaints against the divine and its familiarity with enemy language, the word enemy is not used more frequently in reference to God. This project considers the idea that while enemy language was part of Israel’s cultural milieu, the word enemy was seldom used to describe God because the image of God as enemy borders on picturing God as demonic—a precipice that neither Job nor the writers of the Hebrew Bible wanted to cross.
