Anastasia: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers A timeless classic, “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” first aired way back in 1994. It heavily reused clips from the Japanese franchise “Super Sentai.” The American actors are only in the scenes where the Power Rangers are not in costume; everything else is reused footage. What can you expect from this show? Well, if you’re that far behind in 90s pop culture, I’ll tell you. You can expect a catchy theme song, some quality martial arts, a knife flute, pretty cool mechs (called zords) and, of course, the cheesy special effects the franchise is known for. While some of the other Power Rangers series are objectively better than “Mighty Morphin,” I recommend starting where it all began.

“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” lasted 145 episodes over 3 seasons, the longest of any “Power Rangers” series. Ben: The Good Place Most comedies take a little time to find their footing, and many people have cried out in anguish at their new favorite comedy show being cancelled after only a half or one season. But those cries can disappear into the wind, because I guarantee that NBC’s comedy “The Good Place” is here to stay. (The first episode of season two premiers on Sep. 20, and it looks amazing!) Led by Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, the show is about a woman named Eleanor who wakes up dead. Michael, a being from the afterlife, welcomes her with open arms to The Good Place. He shows her around the afterlife, introducing her to her friendly neighbors, Tahani and Jianyu, and her soulmate Chidi. Everything is perfect—except there’s been a mistake. Eleanor is not supposed to be in The Good Place. On Earth, she was a pretty rotten person (not murderous-rampage bad, but still not that great). She enlists the aid of her new friends to keep her secret from Michael and tries to survive being trapped in paradise. “The Good Place” is in a good place on Netflix and NBC’s Thursday comedy lineup.

Sam: Creep (2014) My Netflix recommendation is the indie horror movie Creep, just in time for the beginning of the fall season. Creep is a genuinely unsettling horror movie that stars a man who is dying of cancer that hires someone to film a few days with him as a video for his son. There were very few moments during this movie where I did not feel tense, and I was pleasantly surprised. I had only known the lead actor of this movie, Mark Duplass, from his comedy show The League, and I don’t think I will ever be able to look at him the same way. A sequel to the film is coming out in October, and I recommend that you check this out before then. Horror movie sequels are generally pretty rough, but I have high hopes for this one. “Creep” received critical acclaim, snagging a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.

2. According to a legend recorded by Pliny the Elder in the first century, Cleopatra won a bet by melting a pearl in vinegar and drinking it.

3. William John Cavendish (1800-1879), otherwise known as the Prince of Silence, hated talking to people so much that he would pretend to be a statue and constructed a complicated underground tunnel system at his manor so that he could move around without seeing anyone.

4. John Mytton of Shropshire (1796-1834) was known as Mango King of the Pickles because he loved partying. He once rode a bear into his dining room during a dinner party, except the bear bit him in the leg.

Position: Assistant Professor of Art

What is the event? The SNC Art Faculty Triennial Exhibition located in the Bush Art Center Galleries

How long have you been with St. Norbert College? This will be my fifth year at SNC.

How has being at St. Norbert College influenced your artwork? I believe art gives us an expanded vocabulary for looking at and responding to the world. Teaching at a liberal arts college like SNC and seeing the work of other faculty and staff is inspiring. It’s also excit- ing to me to share technical know-how and theoretical concepts with students and see what they make.

What sort of thought processes go into your work? I keep a sketchbook where I collect ideas, test out compositions, and make lots of lists. It’s a place where I don’t feel pressured to have things look good or be well finished. I also tend to have several projects going simultaneously which allows me to switch gears and stay moving when I get stuck on one project.

What about mixed media and/or digital artwork appeals to you more than other art forms? I’m not sure I’d say that digital artwork appeals to me more than other forms, but I appreciate digital media for making it easier to edit and distribute images on a larger scale.

What draws you to using nature as a theme in your art? I find it to be an inspiring source of imagery and metaphor. More urgently, I think our relationship with the natural world and our awareness of our interconnectedness with it are vital for our survival as a species.

Is there a contemporary artist that you follow or wish more people knew about? Yes! Cole Closser is a comic artist whose work and ethos I admire. He’s recently started posting a daily comic on Instagram (@coleclosser) inspired by his struggles with anxiety and depression. Every post has a panel telling the story of “a group of wanderers” and a second image with a reason to keep living. I am in awe of his drawing chops and his discipline in posting a daily image.

A few of your pieces are gouache on illustration board. For those touring these exhibitions who may not know, could you define what gouache is and what advantages it has over other paints? Gouache is a water-based paint similar to watercolor paints. Unlike watercolor, gouache paint is opaque. This means that you can make translucent washes (as with watercolors) and you can paint opaquely. This meant I could change something if I didn’t like the way a certain color turned out. It’s a little more forgiving than watercolor that way.

In one of your art pieces, you have a variety of multicolored pennants hanging on the wall. How did the idea for the pennants come about? (Or, is there something you’d like the audience to know about that went into the crafting of this piece?) Originally I’d planned to screenprint multiple pennants with the same message and started making paper mock-ups to figure out those layouts. I real- ized I could make dozens more paper mock-ups in the time it would take to make one screenprint and changed course to experimenting and working more iteratively.

Why is it important for students to come see the Art Faculty Triennial Exhibition? It’s important to see art in person. We can find images of almost anything we want online, but there are things we notice in person that we can’t get through a screen image. For example the scale and tactile layers of Professor Byan-Hanson’s mixed media drawings are an important part of the work. Likewise Professor Kupinsky’s and Fr. Neilson’s installation-- you’ve got to see them in person to fully get it. Additionally, the SNC galleries are some of the only ones in Brown County showing contemporary art. And they’re free and right on campus! If you’re at all interested in art this show (and the rest of the shows coming up this year) are a great opportunity to see art in person.
