Genius Loci Artist & Scholar Series: Chip Linscott

Thursday. March 5th @ 4PM

The University of West Florida Department of Art will host the Genius Loci Artist & Scholar Lecture series, an event and lecture by scholar Chip Linscott, Mar. 5 at 4 p.m. in the Center for Fine and Performing Arts Gallery of Art, Building 82. All events are free and open to the public.

Chip Linscott explores temporal and corporeal relations in African 
films, with special emphasis placed on the role of capital and varying
 conceptions of tradition and modernity. Excerpts from the 
films of "Sembene", "Gerima", and others will accompany the talk.

Chip Linscott teaches in the Department of Interdisciplinary Arts at Ohio
 University, where he is also a PhD Candidate specializing in film and music. He
 holds degrees in Philosophy/Religious Studies and Interdisciplinary Humanities. Linscott regularly lectures on film, art, education, visual culture, and 
philosophy/theory at national and international conferences. His scholarly
 interests include film theory, visual culture, jazz studies, post-colonialism and trans-nationalism.

The event is part of the UWF Department of Art’s Genius Loci series, a program of visiting artists and scholars supported by the Lefferts L. Mabie Foundation and the UWF Student Government Association. Genius Loci or “Spirit of Place” is the sense of continuity and authenticity of a particular location. Speakers bring with them a sense of their own context, the place from where they produce. Linscott is attending the Genius Loci Lecture series by invitation from UWF Department of Art Visiting Artist Felecia Carlisle.

Plugged Art Collective
Raine Bedsole:
Instruments for Navigating Inner Worlds
@ the UWF Gallery of Art
February 19 - March 20

Opening Reception: Thursday, February 19,
5:00PM - 8:00PM

Artist Lecture: Thursday, February, 19,
4:00PM



Inspired by myth, history, and her southern roots, Raine Bedsole’s artwork reveals older worlds, a world of ritual and transcendence. Instruments for Navigating Inner Worlds is a poetic mixture of painting, sculpture, and text. This exhibition delves with the surge of misplaced things and emotions left after post “K”… “Boats, left in trees with the ragged remains of possessions dangling from the branches tell the story of hurricane Katrina’s storm surge and aftermath here on the Gulf Coast.  All too often this is becoming a familiar sight in coastal areas…”says Bedsole.  Instruments for Navigating Inner Worlds is an emotive body of work that uses the flood as a universal archetype symbolizing both death and birth.

Bedsole received a BFA from Auburn University and a MFA in 1989 from the San Francisco Art Institute. Her works are included in the collections of New Orleans’ Museum of Art and Louis Armstrong Airport, the South Carolina Museum of Art, the Miami Herald and Nordstroms, among others. Born in 1960 in Mobile, Alabama she currently resides in New Orleans, La.


Artist and Scholar Lecture Series:
Benjamin Lord


Thursday, February 12th at 4:00 pm

The University of West Florida Department of Art will host the Genius Loci Artist & Scholar Lecture series, an event and lecture by Artist Benjamin Lord, Feb. 12th at 4 p.m. in the UWF Gallery of Art, Building 82. All events are free and open to the public.

Since receiving his MFA from UCLA in 2002, Lord's art has taken a variety of forms including large color prints, books, sculpture, reading-room installations and print portfolios. Employing vocabularies from the contradictory legacies of art photography and conceptual art, his work explores illusionism, the evolving California landscape, the cultural mechanisms of photography, the boundary between process and product, and the relationship between fiction and reality. He has exhibited in New York, Paris, and Barcelona. He lives and works in Los Angeles.
