Lori Nix (New York-based Photographer/Sculptor)*
Opening reception: Sunday, November 6, 2011, 3-5 p.m.
Gallery hours: 10-4, M-F and by appointment
Flippo Gallery, Pace-Armistead Hall (art exhibit)
“Working in her home/studio, Nix combines cardboard, foam, glue and paint to construct small dioramas which she then photographs with an 8 x 10” camera. Often taking up to seven months to complete, these large scale photographs of everyday places – a laundromat, bar, library, aquarium – fall victim to decay, referencing the effects of man. Using humor as her anchor, Nix’s work challenges our perceptions of reality, as she reminds us of our responsibilities.
Lori Nix has received many honors including a 2004 and 2010 New York Foundation for the Arts Individual Artist Grant. Her work has been exhibited throughout the country and is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts (Houston), The International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House (Rochester, NY) and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C., among others.”

Brian Barone, Guitar
2:00 p.m. masterclass; 4:00 p.m. Concert
St. Ann’s Performing Arts Building (music presentation)
Guitarist Brian Barone is active as a performer, teacher, and scholar. A native of New Jersey, where he first studied with guitarist Keith Fanella, Barone has given recitals for the Hackensack Cultural Society, the Walter Engel Festival of Young Performers, and the New Jersey Guitar Society, as well as concerts in New York, Chicago, and Baltimore. He holds an undergraduate degree from the Peabody Conservatory where he studied with Julian Gray, and where he is currently a graduate student in the guitar and music theory departments.
Barone is the recipient of the Alice and Leary Taylor Award in Performance from the Peabody Conservatory and most recently was one of four classical guitarists invited to participate in the Six String Theory International Guitar Competition. His research has recently led to the discovery of a previously unknown mid 19th-century guitar manuscript residing in Mexico City, slated for publication in the near future. Equally at home in classical and popular idioms, Barone has assisted in the musical direction of numerous of off-Broadway plays, and has served as an arranger for the current tours of the popular Motown group The Temptations.
Barone maintains a vibrant teaching studio outside of Baltimore, MD where he specializes in the training of young guitarists. He also makes up one half of the music and comedy duo Bassless Claims, whose album of pop music and pop culture send-ups is Yet Unnamed. Outside of music, Barone is an avid fan of Thai cuisine and very strong coffee.

Nov. 16 - 19
for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf by Ntozake Shange
8:00 p.m. Cobb Theatre, R-MC Center for the Performing Arts (drama presentation)
for colored girls… is a series of 20 poems, encapsulating in poetry and movement the struggles of generations of African-American women against repression, brutality and indifference. Performed by a cast of seven women, each of whom is abstracted and identified only by a color, the piece deals with the traumas and eventual triumphs of women whose collective story of endurance and transcendence remains as compelling as when the piece first played off-Broadway in 1977. This production will be directed by Shenochia Jordan ’12, as her senior project in drama.
The Box Office (a phone mailbox) begins taking reservations at 10:00 a.m. on November 7 at (804) 752-7316. Tickets are $5 per person, free to R-MC faculty, staff and students.
