A Ceramic Legacy
Reception: Friday, October 3, 6-9 p.m.
The identity of the Goshen College Art Department has often been
linked to its strong ceramics program developed by the vision of
Marvin Bartel. Marvin's arrival
in 1970 began a steady and impressive growth in the quality and range of
ceramic activity in the department The exhibition of his ceramic
work in regional and
national venues and contributions to the field in fuel-efficient kiln building,
publication of his writings in ceramic publications and especially his ability
to engage and inspire students has brought recognition to Goshen College.
Many
of his students have pursued ceramics in graduate school and as exhibiting
ceramic artists, production potters, ceramic educators, or in a variety of
other ways
made ceramic a part of their lives. This exhibit celebrates the many potters
that have come out of our program.

Goat Island Performance Art Group
Eric Yake Kenagy Visiting Artists
Rieth Recital Hall
Goat Island is a Chicago-based collaborative performance
group that was founded in 1987. In their work they try to create a relationship
with the audience
in space that is different than the usual stage/audience relationship. Some
of their movements are dance-like; some are motions we all use in our daily
lives. The audience experiences the work somewhat like being within a sculpture
that unfolds in time and space around them.
Goat Island will present a collaborative
lecture, reading from July, one month in the "2002 -- The Year Long
Writing Project." They
will also be joined by Lucy Baldwyn, a UK-based filmmaker who will show a
short film
she
made about the group.
