An opening reception will be held from 5 – 7 p.m. on November 9. At 6:30 p.m. artist Lauren Piperno will give a talk; she will be accompanied by author Evan Pritchard, founder and director of the Center for Algonquin Culture in Woodstock, NY. When asked where she is from, Annu Palakunnathu Matthew says she often has to clarify she’s an Indian from India. In her work she looks at the other “Indian.” In conjunction with an exhibit titled Identity, presented by Sepia International, the artist said, “I find similarities in how nineteenth century photographers of Native Americans looked at what they called the primitive natives, similar to the colonial gaze of the nineteenth century British photographers working in India. In every culture, there is the ‘other.’” Combining nineteenth century photographic representations of Native Americans with digitally altered facsimiles using her own image, Matthew creates fabricated pairings that explore the notions of originality and identity. She is an assistant professor of photography at the University of Rhode Island. Her work can be found in the collections of the George Eastman House, Rochester, NY; the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston; the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, AZ; and the RISD Museum, Providence, RI, among others. (more) - 2 - Lauren Piperno’s “Living History” series, of which several works are on exhibit at УиУмбаОПЫљ, is a work-in-progress and continues her on-going investigation of American pop culture and America’s desire to recycle events and histories of the past. Piperno’s black-and-white Polaroid pairings of a Revolutionary War re-enactor with a powwow dancer image probes the cultural and political legacy of the historic mid-Hudson region. This contrasting series of two cultures, two histories, and of other times, pays homage to the performers of living history, as well as the powerful foundational commonality of democratic principals shared by both the Iroquois Confederacy and the infant American Republic. The viewer is given a glimpse of the honored traditions of both worlds and the images chosen for the exhibit pose an enigmatic and transformative perspective regarding America’s past, present and her peoples. Piperno is a photographer and educator. She has taught at ICP and Parsons in New York City, SUNY Westchester, NY and УиУмбаОПЫљ. Her work is included in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art, NY; The Brooklyn Museum, NY; the George Eastman House; and the Bibliothщque Nationale, France, among others. This program is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. The Pascal Gallery is located in the Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts at УиУмбаОПЫљ. Gallery hours are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 1 to 5 p.m. and Wednesday, 1 to 7 p.m. For more information, call 201.684.7147. # # # # 01YZ[no†‡ЏАБФХЧмEQœla ( 0 ˆ iљюљрюзюљюљЩюзюљЧХРХР B*ph65jгCJOJQJU0JCJOJQJjCJOJQJUjCJOJQJU CJOJQJЦЧШЩЪлмEFa €  ˆ Ž  i§§ћћ§ћѓёѓшмгггбмггЯгм„аdh`„а $„аdh`„аa$$„`„a$$dha$ЦЧШЩЪлмEFa €  ˆ Ž ќќњїѕѕњАа/ Ар=!А"А# $ %АгDаЩъyљКЮŒ‚ЊKЉ bfrankli@ramapo.eduрЩъyљКЮŒ‚ЊKЉ 6mailto:bfrankli@ramapo.eduгDаЩъyљКЮŒ‚ЊKЉ rmulryan@ramapo.eduрЩъyљКЮŒ‚ЊKЉ 6mailto:rmulryan@ramapo.edu i4@ёџ4NormalCJOJPJQJmH <`< Heading 1$@&5CJOJQJ6`6 Heading 2$dh@&5<A@ђџЁ<Default Paragraph FontHC@ђHBody Text Indent$„аdh`„аa$FR@FBody Text Indent 2„аdh`„а.U`Ђ.
