The ex hibit will be on display through Sept. 30. All the works in the exhibit were done this summer by mem bers of the Texas A&M Art Pro gram faculty. The newly formed Texas A&M Art Program is currently setting up an art degree plan. While giving an exhibit tour, Joe Arredondo, coordinator of University art exhibits, described several artists’ work. One work one exhibit is a vi- deofilmoid made by Bill Jenks in collaboration with Julia Hoerner. The videofilmoid resembles a group of slides, but actually “it’s a series of transparencies made from a continuous roll of film, taken from a monitor, Arre dondo said. “Pretend there are 100 tele visions stacked on top of each other, and that’s what it rep resents,” he said. Jenks also has four videotapes on display. One of these, “The Garden, too” is a 30 minute videotape that shows a scene gradually chang ing. Each frame of the videotape is shown for one minute. “Paintings seem to change ev ery time you come in front of them or if you look away and look back you can see new things,” Ar redondo said. He said “The Garden, too” really does change. Arredondo also described art ist Alan Stacell’s work. “Hejust paints and paints,” Ar redondo said. “For the most part, Alan considerers his paintings disposable.” He said Stacell will paint on both slides of a canvas and when he has too many, he just drives them to the dump. Karen Hiller, a photographer, is displaying a series ot cibach- rome prints taken during a trip to Mexico. Cibachrome prints are essen tially photographs made from transparencies rather than neg atives. This process gives the artist more control over the color, Ar redondo said. Some of the artists were avail able during the tour to answer questions and talk about their work. Joe Hutchinson, interim head of the art program, said his paint ings were illustrations of his sum mer trip to Italy. He was teaching art history as a part of the College of Liberal Arts study abroad pro gram. He said his purpose in painting this summer was “to try to illus trate, as best as I possibly can, what I see.” Another painter and avid col lector of color newspaper photo- . graphs, Dick Davison, said he doesn’t make a conscious attempt to put symbolism in his work. “Things are meaningful in a sense, but more of a visual sense than being able to say this stands for that,” Davison said.
