Art show closing reception on Sept. 17

0

MacMurray College’s Applebee Art Gallery will conclude the two-person show, “Animal Motives,” with a closing

reception at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17 at the gallery. The reception is free and open to the public.

“Animal Motives” brings together the complementary work of Sarah Marshall and Matthew Hopson-Walker, two artists now working in Alabama.

Marshall’s work (left) “explores flight as a metaphor for escape, belief, longing and growth,” she says. “The winged creatures that populate these images exist in a state of flux,” she continued. “As they change their skins, losing and gaining attributes, they demonstrate the fragility and impermanence of the self and the many ways we respond to our environment.”

Hopson-Walker’s work (“If It’s Too Loud!” right) taps into his formative years reading comic books and dystopian science fiction novels, the science fiction and post-apocalyptic movies he enjoyed when he was older, and the heavy metal music he plays.

Marshall is an associate professor of art at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. She received her bachelor’s degree in fine art from Carnegie Mellon University and her master’s in of fine art from the University of Iowa.

Hopson-Walker teaches printmaking and drawing at the University of South Alabama in Mobile. He earned his bachelor’s of fine arts in printmaking from the Kansas City Art Institute and his master’s of art and his master’s of fine art from the University of Iowa. His work has been included in more than 100 juried shows and group exhibitions since 2006, and his artwork is in the collections of several museums, including the Franklin Furnace Artist Book Collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

The show “Animal Motives” continues at the Applebee through Saturday, Sept. 19, Inauguration Day for MacMurray’s 16th president, Mark Tierno.

MacMurray College will bring  an expert to Jacksonville to talk on “LGBT Cultural Competency,” and the next day will be viewing the award-winning movie Transamerica, as part of a MacMurray class that examines these topics. Both events are free and open to the public.

The first, a talk, by Jonna Cooley, executive director of the Phoenix Center, in Springfield, IL, will be Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 6:15 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Thoresen Recital Hall located in the Putnam-Springer Center on the southeast corner of State and Clay streets on the MacMurray campus. The event is free and open to the public.

Dr. Cooley will give a primer on the alphabet soup of LGBT and discuss the issues of those who belong to one of the groups: lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. She will also talk about what people can do to ameliorate those issues and will discuss the services available.

The talk is a special presentation as part of the MacMurray English 371, “American Lives: Surviving and Striving in the Margins,” which is taught by Jeannie Zeck, professor of English at MacMurray.

The Phoenix Center’s mission is to serve as central Illinois’ LGBT community center providing social and educational programming and promoting healthy relationships.

The second event, a viewing of the award-winning comedy-drama Transamerica, will be 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 23, at Thoresen Recital Hall which follows Sabrina, played by Felicity Huffman, who is preparing to undergo surgery to become the woman she has always felt she was.

But, just before the surgery, she discovers that she fathered a child during her college days, and her therapist insists she meet the son before going through with the sex change. The two of them travel across the U.S. together having adventures & misadventures.

Kala Wahl, a resident of Roodhouse and North Greene High School graduate, will be joining the MacMurray College Biology Program as the new lab coordinator and technician.

She received her bachelor’s degree in biology from MacMurray College in May 2015.

Khara Koffel, associate professor of Art at MacMurray College, will have one of her works, “for what was or never was at all” (pictured), on exhibit in the prestigious Art St. Louis XXXI exhibition, which opens in November.

Koffel’s work was one of 52 artworks by 42 artists that were selected for the exhibit by Porter Arneill, the director of Arts and Culture for Lawrence, KS. The competitive show saw 144 artists submit more than 600 works for consideration.

An opening reception for this year’s Art St. Louis exhibition is Saturday, Nov. 14 at 6-9 p.m., with a gallery talk by the award winners and Mr. Arneill. The show continues through Dec. 23 and is free and open to the public. For gallery times and location, go to www.artstlouis.org.

Koffel’s sculptures are often highly personal and reflect on her relations with friends and family.

The work “for what was or never was at all” is made of glass cloches and sand from Koffel’s childhood home. “What we miss the most may never have truly existed as we remember it in the first place,” said Koffel.

Koffel has exhibited her work widely in the United States, with one-person exhibitions or pieces accepted in juried shows in Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Maryland, Alabama and California. 

In 2000, she received her bachelor's in Studio Arts and Art History from Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA, and, in 2003, an MFA in sculpture and photography from the University of Alabama. See her Web site here. She lives in Jacksonville with her husband, Marc Benner.

 

Mac professor to pen Oxford entry

Eric Berg, associate professor of Philosophy at MacMurray College, has been invited to write a lengthy entry for an upcoming Oxford University Press publication, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Martin Luther.

“This is a challenging assignment,” said Dr. Berg. “The publication the Oxford Press envisions is both a traditional format, which will be the bible for concise summaries of the current research in the field, but also a 21st century tool that leads the direction that scholarly publications are going in the future.”

The 6,000- to 8,000-word entry Dr. Berg has been asked to write is tentatively titled “History and Its Meaning.” The Martin Luther encyclopedia is due for publication in 2017, to coincide with the quincentenary of the Protestant Reformation. The two-volume set will be a printed reference guide intended for researchers and graduate students, but will also appear online as part of a larger project, The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Religion.

That online research effort is intended as a scholarly alternative to Wikipedia, where the articles can be updated and revised online by experts. The purpose of the encyclopedia on Martin Luther and the larger encyclopedia on religion is to be forward looking, attempting to frame the future of scholarly inquiry into the entries’ respective topics.

Dr. Berg earned his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Kansas, his master’s at Luther Seminary and his bachelor’s at Minnesota State University Moorhead. He was the 2007 recipient of the Dewey Wilkins Award for Teaching Excellence at MacMurray and was twice a research fellow at the Hong Kierkegaard Library at St. Olaf College in Minnesota.

Hauser breaks school record for single season kills

Senior outside hitter Morgan Hauser exceeded MacMurray’s single season record for kills Friday, Oct. 16 in matchup against SLIAC conference foe Spalding University.

Hauser now holds first place at 298 kills, topping Rita Gardner (a 1984 graduate) and Qiana Young (1999), both finishing at 291. With nine regular season games remaining, Hauser has the opportunity to significantly surpass the previous record.

Hauser, a 2012 graduate of Moline Senior High School, is the daughter of Danielle Howe of Moline, IL.

For her efforts against Spalding, Hauser was selected as the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Offensive Volleyball Player of the Week.

Hauser joined the MacMurray family in the fall of 2014 after spending two years at Lincoln Land Community College. When she transferred to finish her degree as a sport management major, Hauser contemplated throwing in the towel.

Encouragement from her mother and MacMurray Coach Danielle Doerfler convinced her to continue playing.

“(Doerfler) is the only coach that actually pushed me and saw my potential,” Hauser said. 

Doerfler not only noticed her talent, but her dedication as well. “In my five years at Mac, Morgan is one of the hardest working athletes in the off season and during season that I have ever coached,” Doerfler said. “The amount of time that she puts in is a direct reflection of her achieving the record.”

Hauser is a powerhouse when attacking at the net. She averages 3.35 kills per set and has a total of 910 completed attacks. Her consistency and perseverance have molded her into a strong competitor.

“When she leaves here, she will be one of the most talented offensive players that MacMurray has ever seen,’ said Doerfler. With season still underway, Hauser has one more goal she would like to accomplish: “A winning season,” she says.

The Humanities Film Series will examine the story of Jackie Robinson through the 2013 biographical sports film, “42.”

The film will be shown Thursday, Oct. 29 at 6:30 p.m. in the basement of the Jacksonville Public Library at 201 W. College Avenue. The event is free and open to the public.  

The film “42” tells the story of Jackie Robinson’s career as the first African-American baseball player in the major leagues, ending the formal segregation in American baseball.

The film traces his rise through the minor league system and the support offered by owner Branch Rickey as the social pressure mounts at every stage of advancement through the minor leagues and to his appearance with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, where he wore jersey number 42.

Wonderfully written and visually engaging, the film is especially well equipped to encourage a lively discussion of justice and injustice.

This installment of the Humanities Film Series will be moderated by Eric Berg, associate professor of philosophy at MacMurray College. The series is co-sponsored by MacMurray College, Illinois College, and the Jacksonville Public Library.
