Carnegie Mellon's Regina Gouger Miller Gallery
Presents the Exhibition Animal Nature
The Regina Gouger Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University is pleased to
announce the exhibition Animal Nature, August 26 - October 2, 2005. An opening
reception will take place on Friday, September 2 from 5-8 p.m. The Miller
Gallery organized and co-curated Animal Nature with artists Lane Hall and Lisa
Moline from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.
Animal Nature is an exhibition that developed out of an ongoing,
expanding web-project entitled Criminal Animal found at www.criminalanimal.org.
The exhibition, catalogue and related projects are unconventional in their
approach. The project brings together artists from around the globe with
scholars and critics who all are engaged in investigations of “the animal” in
one way or another. Rather than positing a tight thesis, this
exhibition-as-experiment contains diverse responses to open-ended questions.

Carnegie Mellon's School of Drama Announces the
Production of “Lysistrata”
Carnegie Mellon University's School of Drama will perform Aristophanes
“Lysistrata,” the classic Greek “make love, not war” comedy, October 6 through
October 15, 2005 in the Philip Chosky Theatre in the Purnell Center for the
Arts located on Carnegie Mellon's campus.
For tickets call the School of Drama box office at 412-268-2407. The box office
is open Monday-Friday, noon to 5 p.m., or purchase on line at
www.cmu.edu/cfa/drama.
Elizabeth Bradley, head of the School of Drama commented that the
play is compelling because, “The notion that women, appalled by the cost of
war, would rise together in protest to thwart aggression is an enormously
empowering and compelling theme for young theatre artists to explore in our
contemporary world. Disenfranchised by their gender in their society, the
success of their protest shows us that outsider voices can effect great change.
But in addition, we must recall that Aristophanes wrote a comedy, and the
ingenious schemes and stratagems of ancient Greece remain captivating for
today's audiences.”
A favorite of antiwar activists throughout world history, this play
is one of Aristophanes' greatest surviving works. Lysistrata and her female
comrades take control of the Athenian Acropolis, outraged by the ongoing war
between the men of Athens and Sparta. Led by Lysistratra, the women of Athens
and the women from Sparta join forces to declare a nationwide moratorium on all
sexual congress until the men end the war.

Grisha Coleman, Research Fellow at Carnegie Mellon's STUDIO for
Creative Inquiry, Presents a Public Performance of echo :: system
Grisha Coleman, a research fellow at the STUDIO for Creative
Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University, recently received a grant from
Pittsburgh's Multicultural Arts Initiative to do a public performance of her
project, echo::system, specifically the second installation in a series of
five: “ActionStation #2 -The Desert.” The performance will take place on Friday
September 9, at 8 p.m. at the Helen Wayne Rauh Studio Theater, Purnell Center
for the Arts at Carnegie Mellon University
The project is a unique collaboration by Coleman and her colleagues because it
is a series of works
that are site-specific, live performance segments focusing on natural habitats
such as the bottom of the ocean, an open prairie, a volcanic island and a
desert. Coleman said, “By attempting to apply one process, that of live
performance, to illuminate another, that of science and scientific methods, I
hope to create a new awareness for collaborators and audiences of the
creativity and resonance between art and science.”

Filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ha Shows Film,
“Night Passage,” At Carnegie Mellon
Carnegie Mellon University's lecture series “Aesthetics out of Bounds,” first
lecturer Trinh T. Minh-ha will discuss her career and show her new film, “Nigh
Passage.” Minh-ha will show her film September 12 at 4 p.m. and then discuss
the film at 5:30 p.m. The film and lecture will take place in the Philip
Chosky Theater, Purnell Center for the Arts on Carnegie Mellon's campus. This
lecture is free and open to the public.
“All of the speakers in the series share an interest in the actual process of
making and displaying art, but they don't shun serious intellectual reflection
on artistic objects and experiences,” said Michael Witmore, an associate
professor of English who is teaching the fall section of the course. “You see
this breadth from our first speaker, Trinh T. Minh-ha, who has written powerful
essays about the cultural language of film and its associated technologies, but
who is also constantly making films, lecturing on international cinema,
collaborating with other artists and scholars, even composing.”
Minh-ha is a filmmaker, writer and composer. She has received
several awards and grants (including the AFI National Independent Filmmaker
Maya Deren Award, fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the American Film
Institute, and the California Arts Council). Her recent film, “Night Passage,”
pays homage to Kenji Mizyazawa's children's sci-fi classes “Milky Way
Railroad.”
“Trinh Minh-ha consistently challenges her audiences with each new
work, constantly shifting the ways in which she critically engages with the
form and spirit of cinema,” said Irina Leimbacher from the San Francisco
Cinematheque.
