			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color:#888888;">DANNON ART project<strong><br />
_________________________________________</strong></span></h1>
<p>Lawrence Arts Center<br />
940 New Hamshire<br />
Lawrence, KS</p>
<div>
<p>Exhibition dates: January 23 &#8211; March 3, 2012</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Opening Reception: Friday, January 27, 2012, 5-9 pm<br />
Closing Reception: Friday, February 24, 2012, 5-9 pm</p>
<div>
<p>Rex Hausmann will be creating a painting on the second floor at the Lawrence Arts<br />
Center January 23 – 27. At the completion of his painting, this temporary studio<br />
will handed over to a series of artists who will create new works, each leaving their<br />
works on display.  Over the course of five weeks this space transforms into a<br />
melody of styles and mediums creating an exhibit that will only exist this one time.</p>
<p>Audiences are encouraged to visit the space beginning January 23 – March 3.</p>
<p>This project will be held in the North end, on the second floor of the Lawrence Arts<br />
Center.</p>
</div>
<p>Rex Hausemann lives and works as a full-time artist in San Antonio and New York<br />
City. Hausmann earned a BFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and<br />
Design. He has worked on projects both nationally and internationally and has<br />
shown and lectured globally. His work and large projects often revolve around<br />
identities found in communal and domestic contexts, tracing their connections<br />
to religion and history.</p>
<p>Artist Note:<br />
Dannon Art Supply/ Consulting/ Production/ Promotion/ Encouragement/<br />
&#8230; heck,the story of a creative life in mid America! (With a Whole Lot of Friends)<br />
COMMUNITY!</p>
<p>An installation/exhibition by a Creative Community, in motion.</p>
<p>The idea behind this project is simple: exposing an artistic community to an<br />
audience for the audience to enjoy &amp; participate. Much like Sol Lewitt had his<br />
wall drawings, people instead of lines create a mesh of relationships,<br />
metaphysically through e mails, phone calls. Eventually personal contact&amp; a<br />
physical object creates a totem of the persons visit. The process is open to<br />
enterprising, yet simple boundaries exists: keep your voice within the specified<br />
space of The Lawrence Arts Center. The small space will begin to look like a small<br />
store, full of a verity of things for sale, with the space taking on the life of a studio<br />
too. The space itself &amp; individual voices will direct the exhibition itself. The<br />
experience&#8217;s existence will changing every day. This a metaphor for the art of<br />
creative community, the people we surround ourselves with, the people we as<br />
human interact with on a daily basis &amp; the trials &amp; joys that come along with those<br />
relationships.</p>

<p>NEW EXHIBITION FOCUSES ON EARTH AS A MEDIUM<br />
_____________________________________________________________________________<br />
<strong><em>Earth: Language and Symbols</em></strong></p>
<div><strong>Curated by Darin M. White</strong></div>
<div>January 20 &#8211; March 10, 2012</div>
<div>Opening: Friday, January 20, 2012, 6-9 pm</div>
<div></div>
<div><em>From the earth we emerge and we return to the earth.</em></div>
<div></div>
<div>We explore our world and grasp to adequately describe through language and<br />
symbols who we are and why. Through sculpted clay, compressed burned trees<br />
and dried pulp, minerals retrieved and many other ways we reach out to speak<br />
about the space that we inhabit as we gaze into the heavens. While it may sound<br />
mundane, in actuality there is life at it’s fullest to be explored, and held in our<br />
open hands for however long we are given. This exhibition, featuring work by<br />
Rex Hausmann and Jimmy Greenfield, attempts to dig deep into these notions<br />
through material, action, thought and image.</div>
<div></div>
<div>- Darin M. White, Guest Curator</div>
<p>______________________________________________________________________________</p>
<div><strong><em>Universal Langu</em></strong><strong><em>age</em>: Rex Hausmann</strong></div>
<p><em>Universal Language</em> will exhibit a water painting performance, slide-show,<br />
photographs, and drawings from a recent sojourn to Beijing and Hong Kong.<br />
These elements explore an interaction the artist had with a calligraphy master<br />
at the Temple of Heaven where he found that across many cultural barriers,<br />
the two were able to bridge their varying cultural experiences by<br />
communicating through brush and line. Additionally, <em>Universal Language</em><br />
will include an installation entitled <em>Where There Is Land There Is War</em>,<br />
equating historical events that occurred at the Boston Common.</p>

</div>
<p>________________________________________________________________________________</p>
<div><strong><em>Signs&#8230;</em>  Jimmy Greenfield</strong></div>
<div></div>
<div>We live in a visual world of signs that guide, dictate, and define social norms.<br />
Many of these are culturally specific, but others are universally understood</div>
<div>and form the basis of a symbolic language readable the world over.  The signs<br />
depicted in this show are meant as warnings about the effects of unbridled</div>
<div>population growth that puts ever-increasing pressure on shrinking natural<br />
resources, the wholesale and indiscriminate destruction of the environment,<br />
and the inevitability of human conflict that will follow. Constructed on<br />
desiccated earth, they are meant to inspire meditation about the future with<br />
the hope that by doing so, humans will somehow rise above their differences<br />
and recognize the extreme challenges ahead.  This &#8220;evolution of human spirit<br />
and cooperation&#8221; is the only process through which we will be able to ensure<br />
and maintain the survival of the living planet.</div>

<div><strong>ABOUT THE ARTISTS:</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div><strong>Rex Hausmann</strong> works as a full-time artist in San Antonio, Texas, and<br />
New York City. He currently works in his family&#8217;s warehouses, home to<br />
Hausmann Millworks: A Creative Community. Hausmann received a<br />
bachelor of fine arts from the Savannah College of Art and Design. In<br />
Atlanta, Hausmann studied under international artists Sandy Skoglund<br />
and Patrick Dougherty. Hausmann has worked on projects and lectured<br />
both nationally and internationally. His work and large projects often<br />
revolve around identities found in communal and domestic contexts,<br />
tracing their connections to religion and history. Hausmann credits<br />
brother and musician Erik Hausmann as a major influence.</div>
<div>&#8212;</div>
<div></div>
<div>Since moving to NYC in the late 1970&#8242;s, <strong>Jimmy Greenfield</strong> has been<br />
an avid sculptor, percussionist, environmentalist, and citizen activist<br />
committed to community affairs.  In the late 1990&#8242;s, his sculpture<br />
became more politically charged dealing specifically with issues of the<br />
environment and human conflict.  To this end, in 2006, he created<br />
Soapbox Gallery, a free street side public art venue in Brooklyn, NY<br />
dedicated to inspiring and promoting uncensored socially relevant<br />
work with a strong political narrative.</div>

<p><strong>Guest Curator: Darin White</strong></p>
<p>Hillyard is excited to announce that Darin White, Lawrence, KS, has agreed to guest curate and jury the <em>Sweeping up the Mess </em>exhibit. White’s recent curatorial work includes: <em>Anthropoi, White Show, Dry Bones, </em>and <em>TRANS•parent TRANS•lucent </em><em>which was hailed by Review Mid-America’s Visual Arts Publication</em><em> as being “mesmerizing, beautiful, puzzling, and disturbing, but what perhaps makes it</em><em> successful overall is the effective curation. White has put together an exhibition that is direct and sensible; it creates an environment capable of producing dialogue between viewers.” In its review of Anthropoi</em><em>, the publication states, “White’s curatorial and promotional skills are causing much murmur in Lawrence’s fairly tight-knit arts community.”</em><em></em></p>
<p><em>White graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in sculpture. He is also a founder of <strong>b.a.l.m. (beauty, art &amp; life movement)</strong>,<strong> </strong>a regional artists’ group and organization that welcomes artists of all disciplines. <a href="http://www.cargocollective.com/darinwhite.com" target="_blank">www.cargocollective.com/darinwhite.com</a><br />

<p><strong>From the Organizers</strong><strong>:</strong><br />
The artworks for this exhibition explore a collective need to get    higher, get lost, reach a higher place, and be transformed. The imagery    in these drawings brings together a collection of utopian fetishes;    objects and figures perched, often precariously, atop high places and    craggy peaks. Through tiny glimpses of early American history and the    so-called Age of Aquarius, the drawings also create warm but cautious    vignettes of utopianism and escapism. Feelings of isolation, loneliness    and abandonment permeate the drawings, contrasted by colorful elation    and a sense of purpose through elevation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.michaelkrueger.us/" target="_blank">Michael Krueger</a> was born on January 5, 1967 in Kenosha Wisconsin. His  family moved to   South Dakota in 1970 and he spent his childhood years in  Sioux Falls.   These formative years in the West cultivated a fondness  and curiosity   for the history of Westward Expansion and the epic  struggles that were   cast on the Great Plains. In 1990 Michael earned a  BFA from the   University of South Dakota and in 1993 he graduated with an  MFA from   the University of Notre Dame. In 1995, Michael moved to  Lawrence,   Kansas for a teaching post at the University of Kansas.  Michael’s   creative research has taken him all over the globe from  Asuncion,   Paraguay to the United Arab Emeritus, to Scotland, England,  Belgium,   France and Italy. He has given over 100 lectures and workshops  at   venues such as Cranbrook Academy of Art, RISD, City College of New    York, Edinburgh College of Art and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts    Boston, Boston, MA. He has recently had solo shows at Sunday L.E.S.,    New York, NY, Steven Zevitas Gallery, Boston, MA, Packer/Schopf  Gallery,   Chicago, IL, Bennington College, Bennington, VT and  Vanderbilt   University, Nashville, TN. Recent group exhibitions  include, KRETS   Gallery, Malmo, Sweden, Baer Ridgeway, SanFrancisco,  CA, Ambacher   Contemporary, Munich, Germany, Glasgow Print Studio,  Scotland, UK, Adam   Baumgold, New York, NY and the Kala Art Institute,  Berkeley, CA.</p>

<p><strong>From the Organizers:<br />
</strong>“These   paintings examine the spatial and emotional  relationships between   facial features and expressions of multiple  stacked portraits. Each  work  is an amalgamation of two or more images  of one person.  Thoughtfully  positioned, the faces dissolve into one  another. Their  union develops  subtle disturbances of clarity and  coherence, while  seeming to invent  one creature of new feeling.</p>
<p>I chose black and  white to keep the focus on form and value.   Furthermore, I employed a  variety of mark making to stimulate the   surface and draw attention to  process—to yield a sense of transparency,   motion and life.”</p>
<p>Josh  Adams was born and raised in Kansas City. At an early age he  showed   artistic interests and was encouraged by his parents to take  piano   lessons. The piano lessons later turned into drum lessons, which  lasted   until the end of high school. Josh also found solace in drawing  as a   means of expression, but never fully pursued the outlet until  college.   He attended the University of Kansas and graduated in 2006  with a BFA  in painting and a minor in art history.</p>
<p>Since graduating, Josh  has exhibited his work locally in solo and  group  shows, toured the  country playing music in various ensembles and  moved  to Los Angeles to  seek a professional career in studio   drumming-recording with Mike  Andrews and Melanie Laurent. He currently   lives in Lawrence where he  works and makes art and music.</p>

<p><strong>From the Organizers:</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.society6.com/andrew" target="_blank">Andrew Jilka’s</a> “Better Living” is a show about the faults, failures, and aspirations     that are pre-programmed into the notion of the American Dream.<br />
The    drawings reflect upon societal signifiers of health, spirituality,     sexuality, and desire.  These staples of supposed happiness are explored    through<br />
tedious  repetition in drawings from the past ten months.</p>

<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><a title="Fresh Start: Works in Progress" href="http://www.lawrence.com/events/2011/jan/28/41742/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><em>Fresh Start: Works in Progress</em></span></span></a><span style="font-family:Myriad Pro,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
January 28 – March 11.</span><span style="font-size:x-small;"><br />
Opening reception January 28, 5-9pm.  In conjunction with Final Fridays</span></span></p>
<p><strong>Lawrence Art Center</strong><br />
940 New Hampshire Street  5-9pm</p>
<p>From the organizer:</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Myriad Pro,sans-serif;">As the New Year begins with a fresh set of goals and we close the door on a year of triumphs<br />
&amp; troubles,artists are often challenged to carry this anticipation into their studio.  This exhibit<br />
is a chance for the public to get a glimpse into “what’s coming” from Kansas artists and possibly<br />
to learn about each artist’s creative process.It is also an opportunity for the artists to experience<br />
their own unfinished works in a new/different environment. This exhibit speaks to the passion<br />
and drive each artist has to create and will allow the viewer the opportunity to see what’s<br />
informing the artist’s studio.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Myriad Pro,sans-serif;">This exhibit will include works in progress, sketches, mock-ups, and resource materials.  Some<br />
of the artists will participate in the Lawrence Arts Center’s Art-in-the-Open project.  These artists<br />
will periodically work on their pieces during the run of the exhibit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Myriad Pro,sans-serif;">Participating Artists:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Myriad Pro,sans-serif;">Molly Murphy, Stephen Johnson, Nicolette Ross, David Loewenstein, Karen Matheis, Louis Copt,<br />
Angie Pickman, Jason Barr, Eric Dobbins, Jack Collins, Leslie Kay, Lisa Grossman, Jeremy Morris,<br />
Shannon White, Darin White, Yuri Zupancic, Jennifer Jarnot, Steven Graber, Juniper Tangpuz,<br />
Kenneth Kupfur, and Alicia Kelly</span></p>

<p><!-- p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } --><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">From the artist:</span></span></p>
<p>Jason Barr aka BARRR is a man of many words. These words are manifested into<br />
pictures, paintings, &amp; podcasts. His first solo show BARRR: I CAN HAS JAIL<br />
reflects the insanity of a man in flux. BARRR shows the conviction &amp; commitment<br />
of the &#8220;busiest man in Lawrence!!!&#8221; I CAN HAS JAIL is the definitive look inside<br />
the mind of BARRR. A manic collage of bravado, psychedelia, fatherhood, pop<br />
culture, anxiety, religion, insecurity, sex, rock n&#8217; roll, paranoia, hustling &amp; ANGER!<br />
Manic depression has never looked so good.</p>

<p><strong>Exhibition Essay:</strong></p>
<p>As children we hope for endless amounts of things that are less  appealing once the<br />
freedom to acquire them is ours. The crunching plunge  through frosted corn to<br />
find the prize is replaced by more deviant  behavior and luxury wants.</p>
<p>James Trotter has turned the advertisement characters of his American  childhood<br />
into a language. His calligraphy of faded toys and pop  iconography double as<br />
documentation of his altars of collected collectible junk tucked in every corner of<br />
his studio. Trotter’s  psychedelic style showcases racism in commercialized<br />
ethnicity,lascivious cartoons, and the general surrealism of what people choose to<br />
push product.His landscapes are piled high with logos and useless  fonts. Slogans<br />
and imagery from his collection of rare funk 45s from the  1960-70’s weave in and<br />
out of his drawings.</p>
<p>Seemingly unhindered by the burden of institutional political  dialogue, James<br />
Trotter’s landscapes are upsetting and delightful. His  lines and layers are unhinged:<br />
flowering with the fervor childhood sugar  highs and flush with second hand desire.</p>

©2011 Andrew Huffman</p>
<p>The  current work involves an exploratory process reliant on the  investigation<br />
of the multiple-confrontation of line, volume, color,  space,movement, proximity,<br />
intensity,geometry, pattern, architecture,  mirroring, and positive space in balance<br />
with the negative. Although the  work coincides with these many formal<br />
relationships, it transcends  these surface concepts through a meditative and<br />
intuitive act that at times is a serendi&#8230;pitous  and meandering process reliant on<br />
investigating, inventing,experimenting, experiencing, hunting material, and<br />
mentally proceeding  into another world from the soul (consciously or<br />
subconsciously), free from one’s physical limitation. Color implements provoke a<br />
resonating,  exploding, imploding, buzzing, humming, ambient, or distant noise.<br />
The  visual orchestrations utilize geometric patterns that induce an  impending<br />
and seemingly infinite constellation. Color married with  architectural and<br />
mechanical linework plays in a perpetually fluxing  environment. Some proximity<br />
relationships of the picture plane may  induce a saccade (Ophthalmology. The<br />
series of small,jerky movements of  the eyes when changing focus from one point<br />
to another) ; meanwhile, other areas of the picture plane provoke a seemingly airy<br />
and tranquil  atmosphere. This notion of pace fluctuation parallels with music,<br />
as  when an instrument’s articulation speeds up or slows down. It is my hope  that<br />
these subtle visual relationships perpetuate a visual playground  free from the<br />
obligation of what is known and concrete; rather these relationships ask if<br />
meanings may come and go as they please, always  shifting slightly and evolving.</p>

<p>From the organizer:</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Robert Ault received his MFA in art from Wichita State University in 1960, then<br />
joined the staff at Menningers in Topeka where he practiced art therapy for 32<br />
years. A talented artist, he opened Ault’s Academy of Art in 1973, and also<br />
helped start the Art Therapy Association of America. This retrospective<br />
features work by the art therapy pioneer.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">&#8212;</span></span></p>

</span></span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">These are a few of the locations that we are aware of, various other<br />
exhibitions will be taking place at other venues. Just look for the yellow<br />
flags or via the web go to <a href="http://www.lawrence.com/finalfridays">lawrence.com/finalfridays</a> for soon to be posted<br />
listing of many events and a map and also you can view <a title="Lawrence Final Fridays" href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Final-Fridays-Lawrence/147664105253073" target="_blank"><br />

Our website <a href="http://beautyartandlifemovement.org/">beautyartandlifemovement.org</a> will also<br />
to continue to have listings. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">The Final Friday events continue to grow as the word spreads. We hope<br />
that this will continue to be a fun and educational way for Lawrence to<br />
see and interact with art and artists. We also hope that Lawrence will<br />
help sustain this event by supporting the artists, the venues and the<br />
organizations involved.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">In addition to sustaining art in Lawrence please contact your local<br />
representative with your support of continued funding for the arts in<br />
Kansas. Go to http://www.arts.ks.gov to read a very important<br />
announcement about proposed loss of major funding of the arts<br />
in Kansas. We need your help to save the Arts from the proposed<br />
cuts!<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Loss of funding for the arts doesn&#8217;t just effect artists, it effects culture at<br />
large, creative thinking and living in far reaching ways that may never be<br />
fully understood.<br />
