Art Exhibit: Fresh Paint
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present <em>Fresh Paint</em>, a three-person exhibit of new works by abstract painters: Marcia Wegman, Corrine Smith and introducing Karl Haglund.</p><p> </p><p>Most known for her pastel landscapes, the gallery will be exhibiting Marcia Wegman’s abstract body of work for the first time. She has exhibited widely throughout the Midwest and has received numerous awards and distinctions for her paintings. When speaking about her work, Wegman states: “Abstract painting, for me, is an exciting adventure; a journey with an unknown destination.” She uses a unique synthetic paper called “yupo” which allows the paint to be pushed, pulled and built up into harmonious textures. </p><p> </p><p>Corrine Smith, currently Adjunct Assistant Professor of Art and Graphic Design at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL, will be showcasing her mixed media works on canvas. Smith’s works can be found in corporate and private collections internationally. She creates her paintings by collaging handmade papers into the paint and composing with the formal principles of design. The end results are complex layers and patterns throughout each piece. </p><p> </p><p>With a background in Anthropology, Karl Haglund fuels his creative practice with this knowledge. He states that it, “…tends to inform much of the work; considering origins of people, places and things, breaking down what is obvious and trying to relate what is strange. I try to capture the busied tension created by so many people in such a small geographic space; an expression of my small town Iowa upbringing that yearned for a larger life.” He uses large canvases, mixed mediums, and bold mark making to create a world of lines and color for the viewer to explore. </p> 2018-10-09 17:00:00 -0500

<p>Luther College welcomes musical groups Beautiful Mess, Early Eyes and headliner Leftmore to the annual Rock the Commons event at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, in Bentdahl Commons on the Luther campus.</p><p>The event is open to the public with no charge for admission. In case of rain, the event will be moved inside to Marty's in the lowest level of Dahl Centennial Union. It is sponsored by KWLC, Luther's radio station.</p><p>Kicking off the day of music is Luther College's Beautiful Mess at 2 p.m. Founded in 2006, Beautiful Mess is Luther's all-female, student-led acapella group. With 12 members, the group regularly performs on campus and around Decorah.</p><p>Opening for Leftmore is Early Eyes. Based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Indie-pop band was formed in 2016. Described as "foxy, funky and an all-around good time," the band was recognized as one of "The 2017 Best New Bands," after performing at First Avenue, Minneapolis. Their single, "Coffee" was awarded the top music video and was nominated for the 2017 Best New Bands from City Pages, Minneapolis. In addition to their 2016 DIY EP release of "Minutes," they've released follow-up EP "Decorating."</p><p>Leftmore will take the stage at 4 p.m. Leftmore member Joe Ziegler will perform a solo/acoustic rock set. An acoustic rock band hailing from Denver, Colorado, Leftmore began touring in 2008. From fall 2009 until winter 2013, Ziegler toured as a solo act until he was reunited with former band member Matthew Shaw. Leftmore's latest CD, "Hotel Candy (24-Hour WAR Challenge III)," was released online in January 2018. The band has released seven CDs and played more than 800 shows and recently completed their next album, slated for release in spring 2019.</p><p>A national liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2,005, Luther offers an academic curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree in more than 60 majors and pre-professional programs.
