Lectures
Liz Chalfin
Start: 02/01/12
French Building Auditorium
Liz Chalfin will expand on the exhibition "Prominent Printmakers" through a slide talk about the twelve artists represented in the show. After studio visits with each artist, Chalfin has developed a deeper understanding of the content of their work and how printmaking in Liz Chalfin particular fits into the expression of that content. She will show a larger body of work by each artist and discuss their motivations, creative processes and individual uses of a variety of printmaking processes. Liz Chalfin is the founder and director of Zea Mays Printmaking, a studio and workshop dedicated to safer and non-toxic printmaking methods. In this talk she will also touch on ways that the artists in the exhibition have used alternative printmaking processes that are safer for the environment and their own personal health.

From childhood, Alice Aycock aspired to an artistic life. Inspired by stories told by her grandmother, which she later learned had their source in Gulliver's Travels, Aycock thought at first she would like to be a writer, but her interests shifted to the visual arts before she was twenty. Her sculptural-architectural sensibility was undoubtedly encouraged by her father, a construction engineer. Aycock has created installations throughout the world, including Israel, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, and Japan, and at numerous locations in the United States, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the San Francisco Art Institute, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, Lincoln, Nebraska, State University of New York, Buffalo (1988), Atlantic Arts Center, New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and the Storm King Art Center, Mountainville, New York.

Artist Lecture Series: Chris Van Allsburg
Start: 12/06/11
Chris Van Allsburg will be at the Institute in Manchester this fall to share his stories with the general public. This event will be held in the auditorium in the Institute’s French Building, 148 Concord Street, Manchester. Tickets: $20 per lecture; $50 for series; Institute students free.

Two-time Caldecott Medal-winner Chris Van Allsburg has drawn readers into a magical, even surreal, world through his illustrated picture books, which include Jumanji and its sequel, Zathura, as well as Two Bad Ants and The Polar Express. "While most children's literature remains steeped in saccharin morality tales," Linnea Lannon noted in the Detroit Free Press Sunday Magazine, "Van Allsburg has found critical acclaim and commercial success with children's books that embrace the mystery and randomness of life." His most popular book, The Polar Express, has become a Christmas classic around the world, and was made into a feature film in 2004. Van Allsburg's first Caldecott Medal book, Jumanji, was the first book to go Hollywood, however; it was adapted as a feature film in 1995. The major theme in Van Allsburg's books is not that either good or bad things can happen in life, but that strange, inexplicable things can occur. www.chrisvanallsburg.com
