Item Borders and Frontiers: Collage and Appropriation in the Contemporary Image(Oakland University, 2011-03-05) Goody, Dick; Lashbrook, DebraExcerpt from essay by Dick Goody: It is paradoxical in the context of the lushness of this exhibition that the above statement, thirty years on, might appear celebratory rather than pejorative. Artists appropriate materials of their time and place, and rapidly the destiny of these “tissues of quotations” becomes the reflective and reflexive visual record of their given epoch. Borders and Frontiers presents a collection of artists that demonstrates both a specialized appetite for the digital and contemporary, yet, at the same time, a blend of quotations from an image bank of the past, and in doing so they build a bridge between historicism, the contextual present, and a conjectural tomorrow.Item Oakland University Biennial Faculty Exhibition, 2010-11(Oakland University, 2010-10-22) Eis, Andrea; Goody, Dick; Lashbrook, DebraExcerpt from introduction by Andrea Eis: The art faculty at Oakland University are exceptionally diverse. Our artworks span a wide range of formal and conceptual interests varying in visual style, physical media, and theoretical practice. This richness of approach is one of our strengths, as a teaching faculty composed of working artists. Our students gain from the multiple perspectives we bring to the studio environment and to aesthetic critique.Item The Berding Memorandum(Oakland University, 2016-10-15) Goody, Dick; Lashbrook, DebraExcerpt from essay by Dick Goody: Since the 1980s, the most challenging aspect of contemporary abstract painting has been to make something that we never anticipated seeing before, which does not resemble another’s visual abstract language. Thomas Berding’s uniquely distinct paintings overcome this challenge with brio and inventiveness.Item The Art of the Artist's Book(Oakland University, 2010-01-08) Goody, Dick; Lashbrook, DebraExcerpt from essay by Dick Goody: Artists’ books, produced as an ancillary form are often more privately subversive than an artist’s primary oeuvre. This is because they are not generally meant for public scrutiny. Their scale and personal nature makes them the exclusive domain of one pair of eyes at a time. With works by more than thirty artists, including Matthew Barney, Anthony Caro, R.B. Kitaj, Donald Lipski, Kiki Smith, and Kara Walker, this survey, chiefly of one-of-a-kind books, features contemporary artists’ books from the last two decades, a time when the artist’s book has come of age. Books by artists are no longer viewed as eccentric oddities; they are a genre all their own.Item Writing an Image: Chinese Literati Art(Oakland University Art Gallery, 2009) Yu, ShuishanPublication from Oakland University Art Gallery exhibit September 11-November 22, 2009.Item Retrofit(Meadow Brook Art Gallery, 2003-09-06) Que, SharonCatalog of an exhibition of sculpture.
