3. Expression of the Superorganism
September 14-October 1
Opening reception: Thursday, September 14 from 6-8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Bridge Gallery
https://art.uga.edu/dodd-galleries
Expression of the Superorganism is an exhibition of visual art created by Red Imported Fire Ants in collaboration with artist Jiayi Guo and biologist Haolin Zeng. In the seemingly boundless expression of the superorganism, art created by ants features a post-humanist element, where the aesthetic dimension of being for humans and ants is one of cooperation rather than conflict.
Solenopsis invicta, or Red Imported Fire Ant is considered to be an invasive pest, commonly found in the southeastern United States.
Jiayi "Eva" Guo is a doctoral student in Art Education. She holds a BFA in Ceramic Art and an MFA in Art History from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in China. She is an art educator and artist focusing on de-colonialism, public education, and animal studies.
Haolin "Horace" Zeng is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Entomology. He studies the collective behavior and evolution of social structure in Red Imported Fire Ants. Horace earned a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign, where he served as the president of a vintage and manual photography club.
Expression of the Superorganism is supported in part by the UGA Arts Collaborative, an interdisciplinary initiative for advanced research in the arts.

Thursday, August 31 from 5:30 - 7 PM
Special Collections Libraries
https://calendar.uga.edu/event/exhibit_opening_house_party
Join the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library for an evening of tours, drinks, and light snacks to celebrate the opening of "House Party: Digging Into House Show History in Athens." Before recorded music and the rise of concert halls, private homes served as regular venues for live music performances. House shows have played a significant role in shaping the music scene in Athens, Georgia, often creating spaces for performers and sounds not featured in professional venues. This exhibit offers a look at selected house show locations from the 1940s through the 2000s.

This two-day event unites talks from book historians and practicing book artists, featuring a plenary address by artist Suzanne Coley and panel featuring special guest Jennifer Low, an early modern scholar and apprentice book artist. The symposium will demonstrate the diversity and range of contemporary book arts and book history.
Faculty Panel
Tuesday, September 12 at 11 AM
Join three experts in pre-modern book and textual history -- Drs. Sargan, Mattison, and Jacobson -- as they share scholarship on new ways to read medieval and Renaissance book bindings through Queer and Trans theory, attention to fragments, and historical fantasies about binding.
Plenary: Suzanne Coley
Tuesday, September 12 at 2 PM
Suzanne Coley's main artistic fields are printmaking, poetry, and book arts. She has pioneered the style of book making called "couture textile books," combining precision and intentionality of design with bold experimentation and abstraction. Over the past fifteen years, Suzanne has merged couture sewing techniques with embroidery and poetry in her art. Suzanne's fine art textile books are in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution (National Museum of African Art Library), The Folger Shakespeare Library, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Faculty Panel with Featured Guest Jennifer Low
Wednesday, September 13 at 11 AM
Drs. Iyengar and Low's talks will respond to Coley's work by analyzing further the relationship between Shakespeare and contemporary book arts and artists' books. Dr. Benedict's talk brings a new perspective to the medieval and early modern papers by attending to artists' books from contemporary Latin America.
Masterclass with Cynthia Camp
Wednesday, September 13 at 1:50 PM
Dr. Camp's masterclass will focus on a curious Book of Hours held by UGA's special collections libraries that combines different localized artistic and religious traditions in the later Middle Ages.
