their scale, the individual prints are distinguished by various overlay treatments, including

4. Call for volunteers
The Miller Learning Center and visual artist Patricia Van Dalen are jointly seeking volunteers to help
with her art installation at the MLC in January 2011. Volunteers will assist the artist in "drawing"
on the walls of the MLC with variously-colored lines of tapes. This installation promises to gain a
lot of attention in addition to being a great opportunity to work closely with an internationally-
exhibiting professional artist.
When: January 18th to January 21st.
Where: Miller Learning Center, 3rd floor.
What: Tasks include tape handling, cutting, and placing tapes on the walls
Hours: Shifts of two hours, anytime between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Contact: Caroline Barratt at [log in to unmask] or 706-542-6196
Patricia Van Dalen is a South American artist with a career focused on abstract art with an
emphasis on color and interventions into large architectural spaces. She has exhibited widely in
South America, in Spain and in the US. Van Dalen's current research concerns the theme of
fragmentation: of image, of the painting, of form, of space, of plane, and of color. This project will
be a unique artwork created especially for the MLC. You can check out the artist's work at her
website www.patriciavandalen.com
If you are interested in getting involved in the creation of an exciting, colorful and dynamic
ephemeral artwork, working side-by-side with the artist herself, please contact Caroline Barratt,
MLC Director at [log in to unmask], indicating the times when you are available. We will be happy to
