John Beckelman: Horizon Suite
<p>John Beckelman’s Horizon Suite is a group of six recently-completed three-dimensional landscapes. Using the expressive potential of clay and a variety of other materials, Beckelman’s work explores the transitional space where the sky meets the land or sea. The horizontal sweep of this space is mediated by intimate moments of surprising texture, shifting light, and fleeting color. Horizon Suite attempts to gently entice the viewer into the inner landscapes and interior spaces of our imagination and memory. Beckelman finds a curious intersection between the seemingly enduring and timeless character of earth and the fleeting yet wonderful impermanence of the world in which we live. John Beckelman's art has been shown in exhibitions throughout the country and he has been the recipient of numerous awards, commissions, and grants. He received his master of fine arts degree in ceramics and his master of science degree in ceramics from Illinois State University. Beckelman is the Robert O. Daniel Professor of Art, Emeritus at Coe College. He lives and works in Cedar Rapids.</p> 2019-10-15 16:00:00 -050010/15/1912:00 p.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids -

Marjorie Mathison Hance Author Event
<p>Twin Cities area author Marjorie Mathison Hance will read from and discuss her book, Murder at Pelican Lake, at 7pm Monday, October 14 at Next Page Books. Hance is an alumna of St. Catherine University in St. Paul and earned her master’s degree in higher education from Indiana University. Prior to beginning her writing career, she worked for the University of Minnesota, Honeywell, and St. Catherine where she taught and served as Vice President for External Relations.</p><p>The central character in Murder at Pelican Lake is Carley who loses her high-profile job and her partner in the span of a few short months. She returns to the place that feels most like home – her childhood cabin on Pelican Lake, Minnesota. But when a teenager is abducted, it becomes clear that her once-sleepy vacation community has its share of secrets.
