*Herron Student Art & Eiteljorg Museum Native American Month Display
The IUPUI University Library will present a display of book art binding by
students of a Herron School of Art class, November 5 - 29, 2001, in the
Level One Lobby display area during regular Library hours. The book
binding display will include the creative works of students Philip Austin,
Anthony Cain, Angela Fritz, Mandy Falco, Martha Hartwell, Kelly Holden,
Jennifer Knapek, Autumn Mitchell, Rebecca Padget, Greg Prosser, Erin
Reeser, and Shanay Sotomayor.
These Herron students, with instruction by professors Karen Baldner and
Paul Brown, have participated in the introductory year of principles for
binding books and extending the book into expressive formats. Professor
Baldner explained, "The intention is to integrate narrative content with
materials and binding styles to find optimal expressive statements.
Traditional and non-traditional book binding formats were used, involving
cutting, folding and sewing techniques including Japanese stab binding,
french doors, concertina and piano hinge."
Autumn harvest activities and celebrations will be the focus of the Native
American Heritage programs during the month of November at the Eiteljorg
Museum of American Indians and Western Art. In support of this program,
the IUPUI University Library will also host a display of Native artifacts and
museum program materials for the month of November.
From November 3 - 17, a range of traditional native cultural elements will
be featured at the Eiteljorg Museum, located within walking distance of
IUPUI, adjacent to the White River State Park. Museum programs will
include the work of visiting artist Helena Guzman', the opening exhibition
of the Eiteljorg Fellowship for Native American Fine Art, authentic
dinners with members of the Miami Nation of Indians, and the Harvest
Celebration Family Day. For further information about the Eiteljorg
Museum, call (317) 636-9378, or visit the web site: http://www.eiteljorg.org
