“Thompkins’ relaxed virtuosity, suave legato, variety of attacks, andvibrant sound, rich and full from the basement to the balcony of hisinstrument, were all wonders. Of course the trombone is hard to play;

the trick is to make it look easy. Thompkins does.” —Mark Stryker, Detroit Free Press

“DSO principal trombonist Ken Thompkins was an exceptional soloist,playing with a buttery sound and liquid legato that connected the widest

melodies into arcs of lyricism. He then played the darting rhythms sogracefully it called up the ghost of the late jazz trombonist J.J. Johnson.”

Continuing through Sept. 9Issues of Style in Self-taught Art

Examining works from a variety of artists in thecollection, the exhibition focuses on a concept thattraditionally organizes our thoughts on art. Self-taughtart employs many diverse characteristics ofexpression related to issues of style. Artists such asPhillip Travers and Melissa Polhamus use space inspecific ways in their compositions. Polhamus denselypopulates the picture plane, filling it with images thatappear to present sequential events. Travers fills thepicture plane but also plays with scale, ambiguousspace and text to create cartoon-like narrativesreminiscent of story boards. By examining thesecommon characteristics that define a style, weobtain new insight into their work.

4509 Monarch Way at 45th Street(757) 683-6271Hours: Tuesday – Saturday 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Sunday 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.

July 7 – Sept. 9The Combat Paper Project

This exhibition features selected work from the CombatPaper Project. The project utilizes art-making workshops toassist veterans in reconciling and sharing their personalexperiences as well as broadening the traditional narrativesurrounding service and the military culture. Throughpapermaking workshops, veterans use their uniforms wornin combat to create cathartic works of art. The uniformsare cut up, beaten into a pulp and formed into sheets ofpaper. Veterans use the transformative process ofpapermaking to reclaim their uniform as art and begin toembrace their experiences in the military.

Sept. 15 – Feb. 10, 2013Woman, Image and Art

The majority of known, collected and discussed self-taughtartists are men. Images of women in culture often expressartists’ idealization, ambivalence or wariness – a force tobe controlled. The woman may be seen as a seductressleading men to sin and ruin. These complicated rolesascribed to women defy easy explanation. Lewis Smith’s“Three Women” are circus performers demonstrating theirskill and strength. Their costumes are form-fitting andseductive. Though strong, they must be feminine andalluring, never masculine or dominating. In contrast, AnnieBlandings’ “Barn” portrays couples dancing, rapt in eachother. The woman is an adored partner that holds thefamily together. The drawing itself is pure and ethereal.

Opening Reception: Sunday, Sept. 30, 3 – 5 p.m.

Sept. 15 – Oct. 14 Photographs With Teeth in conjunction with the 35th Annual LiteraryFestival, “Words With Teeth”

Poet Sean Thomas Dougherty said, “How can we wakeup if the words don’t bite us—hard — sometimes?” Thesame is true for photographs. “Photographs With Teeth”brings together works by Yunghi Kim, Cori Pepelnjak,Karolina Karlic and Greta Pratt. These internationallyrecognized photographers explore the working class,the 99 percent, socioeconomic inequity and thecostuming of patriotism.

Kim’s photographs of the Occupy Wall Streetmovement garnered a World Press Award andPepelnjak’s series “ By the Week” documents individualswho live in motels by the week. “The Dee” (slang forDetroit) series, by Guggenheim fellow Karlic, usesvacant automobile factories and single-family homesstalled in construction standing silently as metaphors foreconomic crisis and its effect on a community. Pratt’s“Liberty Wavers” brings together the issues of labor andthe rhetoric of patriotism.

Taking place on the eve of the Presidential election, this exhibition creates a timely conversation aboutcontemporary America.

“East/West: A Survey of Contemporary Printmaking”reflects and celebrates the diversity of printmakingpractice and education in the United States.Organizers asked 100 of the most prominentprintmakers/educators to embrace their currentimage-making techniques and conceptualconcerns. The result is a portfolio of prints that arediverse in image. These artists embrace tradition aswell as alternatives in printmaking techniques foundin lithography, intaglio, woodcut, silkscreen, archivalpigment, hybrid, intaglio types, and photo-reliefprints.

The artists were chosen based on their distinguishedcareers as both artists and teachers. They practicethe art of printmaking derived from the tradition of“the artist/teacher in residence” as developed bymany major Midwest universities in the 1960s. Thisportfolio celebrates these artists as innovators, fortheir continued development of the printmakingmedium and their own unique artistic visions. Theseprintmakers have had and continue to havedramatic impacts on printmaking education, theirinstitutions and printmaking workshops.

Words withTEETH

Given the complexities of being human—theinward skirmishes with self and the more visibleconflicts with the world we inhabit—it is easy to

think of one’s own odd sensibility as rooted in somekind of perverse misunderstanding. This can result in alife defined by an apologetic silence. We turn toliterature for three things: clarification, affirmation andcourage. The authors who dare to challenge thegiven script, who ask vital questions and make boldassertions, give us a new chance to live, anopportunity to revise ourselves.

Their words are not simply entertaining; their wordshave teeth. Through precise utterance and expansiveimagination, their words give us the means to cutthrough the filmy stupor that pervades our daily lives.It is a literature that nudges, maybe knocks us, fromcomplacency. It seems that this power marks the bestof literary endeavor.

The writers and artists of Old Dominion University’s 35thAnnual Literary Festival, through fiction, poetry,memoir, visual media, music and essay, will offer anopportunity for a more electric wakefulness. PoetSean Thomas Dougherty has said, “How can we wakeup if the words don’t bite us—hard—sometimes?”

We hope this year’s lineup of world-renowned authorsand artists will offer a refreshing sense of what wordsand other forms of expression can do.
