Polynesian Art on Display
We have an interesting new display of Polynesian artifacts in the Archives. The artifacts were donated several years ago by Lyndon Cook, former UVU history professor and former head of Special Collections. There are carved wooden masks, tapa cloth made from mulberry bark, various decorative items carved from wood, jade and ivory, and even some shark's teeth. Amber and Tod Robbins, our Archives intern, put the display together. The display will be up through the end of December, so drop by and take a look! --Catherine McIntyre, Archives Librarian
Event:Identity, Senior Exhibition 2008
Utah Valley University's graduating class of thirty visual arts students is showcasing its best artwork to the public in a show titled Event:Identity. The exhibit showcases a variety of mediums: photography, charcoal, pottery, graphic design, sculpture, and more in the Library Art Gallery (5th floor).
The opening reception is Nov. 13 from 7 to 9 PM in the gallery. The art will be on display until Dec. 1.
In rural Kyrgyzstan when someone asks who you are, you reply with the names of seven generations of male ancestors, a custom called jeti-ata - literally, "seven fathers." This genealogical awareness makes the central Asian nation a uniquely promising place to explore its genetic roots.
While organizing a project collecting DNA samples and genealogies for the Utah-based Sorensen Molecular Genealogy Foundation, field director and photographer Edgar Gomez-Palmieri took thousands of evocative pictures of the people in this remote land. Twenty-seven of these fascinating photographs are now on display for the first time in simultaneous exhibitions at Utah Valley University and in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic.
The exhibit is on display on the Library 3rd Floor Art Wall through December 12.
