2. Lecture: Chad Kia, Brown University
"Allegory and Image in the Eastern Islamic World at the Turn of the Sixteenth Century."
Thursday, January 20 at 5 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
The talk will focus on the literary and visual cultures of mysticism in the eastern Islamic world of
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The phenomenal rise in the popularity of mysticism in the
post-Mongolian-invasion Islamic world had by the fifteenth century resulted in the penetration of
Sufi ideology and vocabulary into the language of literary works and their rising popularity among
those commissioned for illustration. What followed--the main topic of this presentation--is the
advent of allegorical painting in Islamic art, which was based on the contemporary discourse of
Islamic mysticism (or Sufism) and an intertextual system of signification that united literary
discourse and esoteric religious practice over a period of centuries.

5. Taking Part and Affilated Events at ATHICA
Opening Reception: Saturday, January 22 from 7 – 9 PM
Preceded at 6:30 by a 30 minute walk with local artist Hope Hilton
January 22 – March 6, 2011
Free!
ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art announces Taking Part, an exhibit of participatory
art by six artists who employ a range of approaches to bring their projects to fruition. While all of
the artists incorporate input from the public, some request input from their non-artist
collaborators before the work is finalized, while others incorporate participation during the
exhibition. However, for all the projects the artist’s involvement remains essential to the final
outcome.
Curator Brigette Thomas and Assistant Curator Sheena Varghese have pulled together a
wonderfully varied and lively group of participatory art projects for Northeast GA audiences to
ponder. Overall, the experience of Taking Part will serve as a wake-up call and poignant reminder
to viewers of their own part in creating records of their existence through various media, as they
move through their lives in our uniquely changing era of communications.

12. Fragmented Light
Miller Learning Center Art Installation
January 21- May 21, 2011
Patricia Van Dalen (1955), a Venezuelan-born artist who spends her time between Atlanta, Caracas
and Miami, has long been interested in abstraction, color, and the intervention of large
architectural spaces. Her recent work explores the idea of fragmentation as it affects form, space,
and color.
Her interest in the social dimension of artistic production has led her to frequently incorporating
art into public spaces, a strategy she first employed in 1998 as she intervened the façade and
gardens of the central library at Caracas’ Universidad Simón Bolívar. Thus, apart from exhibiting in
galleries, museums, and private spaces, Van Dalen often shares her ideas with larger audiences by
creating work to be placed in settings where the presence of art is not usually expected. Examples
of this are Luminous Gardens (2003), a site-specific installation consisting of 100,000 vinyl flags
at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden of Coral Gables (FL), and Luz fragmentada, a large-format
work created with fluorescent adhesive tape for the cafeteria at the Universidad Monteávila in
Caracas in 2009. These projects, ephemeral in nature, reveal the artist's close relationship with
color and the use of space, and offer users of these locations a whimsical experience that
enhances their dealings with the quotidian.
Fragmented Light (2011), created specifically for UGA’s Miller Learning Center, is a composition
made of brightly-colored adhesive tapes that transforms the walls between the center’s third and
fourth floors, accompanying students as they climb up and down the stairs and lending chromatic
vibrancy to a place of study. It will be on public view between January 21st and May 21st, 2011.
