WWU Photo goes to regional SPENW conference!
On November 5-7, a group of approximately a dozen WWU photo students traveled to Portland, OR to attend and participate in the SPENW regional conference. The WWU Student Panel (Mike Cumiskey, Andrew Figgs, Adam McRae, Joe Rudko, and Fiona Shearer) had their successful presentation on Saturday in front of a packed house.
Garth Amundson, Pierre Gour, Rebecca Cummins (University of Washington), and Alex Emmons (Central Washington University) presented Blasted: Location/Dislocation, a panel describing their respective research as related to the over-arching topic of site and location.
The conference was a HUGE success and the organizers deserve credit for facilitating such an informative and dynamic conference! Everyone is invited to participate in both the national SPE conference in Atlanta, GA in March 2011 as well as the 2011 SPENW Regional Conference.
Below is a slideshow of images from the weekend in Portland:

“Neo-Kitsch: national small works showcase”, Arts West, Seattle, WA
Kitsch and camp are the new black if you haven’t heard, but more than just being the new “in” thing, ArtsWest Theater’s holiday show is A Tuna Christmas. Nothing goes better with a fun night with the “24 citizens of the third smallest town in Texas,” than some little bits of sentimentality and the ‘thingamabobs’ from popular culture with a twist of cleverness and surprise.
Charles Krafft’s King of Kitsch is a fine example of neo-kitsch already accepted into the exhibition. This small porcelain skull with a crown of Holland-style figurines in Delftware say collectible sweetness with a flourish of fun and wit. Unlike your father’s kitsch, commentary on the masses is appreciated.
With this call we request small works 10” x 10” or smaller from 2D and 3D media, including nontraditional mediums.
Fee: $10 per work
Deadline: November 8, 2010
