Unwrapped: Gifts from the Peter Norton Family Christmas Project, 1988-2018

<p>Retired computer entrepreneur Peter Norton (Norton Antivirus Software) is a contemporary art collector as well as an active participant in various civic and philanthropic activities. In 1988, the Norton Family Christmas Project began commissioning artists to create original, multiple-edition works that were mailed as holiday greetings to friends, colleagues, and selected institutions. In 2017, the CRMA received the bulk of these wonderful holiday greetings from Director Emeritus Terry Pitts and his wife Kathy Hall.</p><p><br></p><p>The objects and artists’ books that comprise the Project collection are incredibly varied. A sense of whimsy runs through many of the pieces: salt and pepper shakers become snow globes, a music box exhorts us to be silent. Many works also have a sociopolitical focus, addressing issues as varied as slavery, AIDS, and gender identity. Taken together, the Norton Family Christmas Project objects and artists’ books provide a wonderful snapshot of the last thirty years of activity in the art world at large, presenting the work of both emerging and more established artists. The 2018 edition of the Norton Family Christmas Project was the last and ended the series.</p> 2020-01-22 16:00:00 -0600

Thursday Forum - CRISPR Technology and the Brave New World of Genetic Engineering

<p>Popular media is abuzz with news stories and catchy headlines about CRISPR technology—variously proclaiming it as a cure for cancer, blindness, or blood disorders, a concerning technology that can create genetically modified babies, or a powerful way to adapt the foods we grow and eat.  But what is CRISPR and how does it work?  In this two-week forum, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Biology Patricia Storlie will take you behind the hype in order to understand and be more informed about this exciting breakthrough and new biotechnology tool.  The forum will begin with the basics, explaining the history of CRISPR and what the technology involves.  It will go on to examine how CRISPR is revolutionizing science and medicine—in basic research and in groundbreaking trials as a therapy for human disease or a tool to control insect populations and invasive plant species.  All throughout, we will consider the oversight and safeguards (or lack thereof) that are in place as we enter the brave new world of genetic engineering at full speed.</p> 2020-01-23 11:30:00 -0600

Screening: Making Arrangements| Ataraxia

<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present <em>Making Arrangements: Ataraxia</em>, a video installation by Crit Streed.</p><p><br></p><p>Making Arrangements is an ever-changing configuration in glass positioned in relationship to a video projected on the wall. The woman in the video is endlessly moving two chairs in an empty room in pursuit of the perfect arrangement. The shelves of milk glass have equally been arranged to balance, flow, fill the eye and evoke an interest. “Milk glass with its curious cultural history presents an arena to reflect on our everyday actions that give us a moment of solace by putting things right in an uncontrollable world. Whether we live with few objects or collect many, we arrange. If we can find the right arrangement and create our space within the larger chaotic world, we think we can manage," says Crit. This installation is comprised of 143 pieces of milk glass framing the digital video.</p><p><br></p><p>Crit Streed was born in 1948 in Washington, Iowa, where she grew up. She received a B.A. in art from the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, and her M.A. in painting and drawing and M.F.A. in painting and lithography from the University of Iowa, Iowa City. Between short-term teaching positions, she lived and worked in Nepal from 1982 to 1984, and has participated in various artist residencies nationally and abroad. She has exhibited widely and is Professor Emeritus of Art at the University of Northern Iowa, where she had taught since the 1980s. Recently, she completed a residency in Cadaqués and currently lives and creates in Cedar Falls, IA.</p><p><br></p><p>Gilded Pear Gallery is located at 808 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.
