Re-Imagining the Book is a course in Book Arts that I’ve been teaching for over 10 years. During this time I’ve documented student work, which, until late last spring, sat on a shelf accumulating dust. With the help of two students- Rose Hermlin and Tikikki Walker we’ve begun to change that. We’ve created a blog that will eventually act as a depository of current art works
and an archive.
The most intensive and time consuming part of this project is transferring documentation from 35mm slide format (my earliest documenting form) to digital files (thank-you Joseph Romano-Visual Resources Curator!). Although far from finished we thought we’d share our results thus far.
Enjoy!

Oberlin College is known for creativity and artistic talent, and recently this artistry has found a home at Cleveland’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA). Oberlin students participated in two art competitions at MoCA, Another Vibrant “Fight,” and the Student Slideshow at MoCA, where Oberlin swept the awards.

The second half of the 20th century saw a rapid expansion of HVAC systems in museums over the world. Climate technology offered the possibility of controlling the environment but proved to be costly and to create its own problems. The desire to control indoor climate – heat, moisture, light – by introducing technology and international standards came to define the field of preventive conservation in the later part of the century.
By studying how indoor climate issues have been considered and dealt with, we can better understand imagined and real relationships between people and objects in museums. It is acknowledged that climate is just one of many important factors when it comes to preserve collections for the future. The lecture focuses on the history of Nationalmuseum, the national museum of art in Stockholm, and how climate issues have been handled in the building over a period of 150 years.
Summer Internships
The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Summer Internship Program provides insight into museum careers through practical work experience not available in most academic settings. Interns participate in daily operations of a specific department and participate in activities that provide a “behind the scenes” view of the Museum. Positions for 2011 are in the Art Library, Asian Art, Education, Modern and Contemporary Art, Public Relations, Registration, and Technical Production.
The internship consists of ten, 40-hour weeks from May 27 – August 4, 2011. Interns earn $11.25 per hour (less taxes) and are paid bi-weekly. Interns are responsible for their own housing (the Museum will assist with locating nearby rentals).
Candidates must be graduating seniors or current graduate students. International students must have a current US Visa and be eligible to work in the US. The positions require fingerprinting. The Museum encourages students from all backgrounds to apply and is committed to a culturally diverse group.
The application deadline is March 1, 2011.
Located on a 66-acre estate on Sarasota Bay, The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art is the State Art Museum of Florida. The Museum of Art offers 21 galleries of European paintings as well as Cypriot antiquities, Asian art, American paintings, and contemporary art. The campus also includes Cà d’Zan, the Ringling historic mansion; the Circus Museum; the Tibbals Learning Center; and The Historic Asolo Theater. As a division of Florida State University, the Ringling estate is one of the largest university museum complexes in the nation.

Iraqi born artist Wafaa Bilal has exhibited his art world wide, and traveled and lectured extensively to inform audiences of the situation of the Iraqi people, and the importance of peaceful conflict resolution. Bilal’s 2007 dynamic installation Domestic Tension placed him on the receiving end of a paintball gun that was accessible online to a worldwide audience, 24 hours a day. Newsweek called the project “breathtaking” and the Chicago Tribune called the month-long piece “one of the sharpest works of political art to be seen in a long time,” and named Bilal its 2007 Artist of the Year. Bilal has exhibited worldwide including in Baghdad, the Netherlands, Thailand and Croatia; as well as at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, the Milwaukee Art Museum and various other US galleries. His residencies have included Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga, California; Catwalk in New York; and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In fall 2008 City Lights published “Shoot an Iraqi: Life, Art and Resistance Under the Gun,” about Bilal’s life and the Domestic Tension project.
