Lecture:
Alex Bitterman
School of Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology
bitterman_alex

On Thursday, October 25, Alex Bitterman of the School of Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology will examine the history of branding, how brands affect the consumer frame of reference in developing countries, and the societal responsibilities of designers, in his lecture, "Brandcodex: deciphering the role of designer in a branded world." This event will be held at 10:50 AM in Room 120 of the Visual Arts Center on the San Antonio College campus. The lecture is free and open to the public, though seating is limited.

Over the past decade, Professor Bitterman has specialized in the study of universal design, the social responsibility of the designer, advertising, branding and identity programs, graphic design, and place branding. As such, his research has focused on universally designed spaces, places, products and systems, including the accessibility of those systems for individuals with physical, cognitive, cultural, or situational impairments. Most recently, Alex Bitterman has been investigating the effectiveness, typology, and functional usability of identity programs for public transit systems.

Prior to joining the faculty at RIT, Alex Bitterman was a member of the faculty at the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University at Buffalo and served as Director for Information Design and Dissemination at the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access (IDEA), an internationally respected, multi-million dollar research institute funded by the U.S. Department of Education. As the Fred R. Bunkow Fellow at the University at Buffalo, Bitterman was the editor-in-chief of Intersight, the academic journal of the School of Architecture and Planning. He is also a founding co-editor of Diversity in Design, an international, peer-reviewed journal, and is the editor-in-chief of the forthcoming Multi, the journal of social responsibility in design practice and design education. Prof. Bitterman's most recent book Buffalo is a Cool Place to Live, was published in May 2006 by k629 press.

Film: 'Helvetica'

helvetica student poster

The Department of Visual Arts and Technology is pleased to present the San Antonio screening of the documentary film Helvetica on Wednesday, October 3 at 7:00 PM in the McAllister Auditorium on the SAC campus. The director, Gary Hustwit, will also make a special appearance at the event and will take audience questions at the conclusion of the film.

The 2007 feature-length independent film, Helvetica, encompasses the worlds of not only typography and graphic design, but also of communication, psychology and global visual culture. Developed in Switzerland 50 years ago, the font type has had a ubiquitous presence in the international urban landscape for half a century, dominating everything from corporate logos and advertisement, to signage for transportation systems and fine art prints. Filmed on high-definition video in the United States, England, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France and Belgium, Helvetica explores how urban and typographic designs collide and collude, while some of the most illustrious and innovative names in the design world today offer a fluid discussion about the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type. Movie critic for the Chicago Tribune, Michael Phillips, succinctly summarizes, "the real achievement of the picture is the way it sharpens your eye in general and makes connections between form and content, and between art and life."

While Helvetica marks Gary Hustwit's directorial debut, he has produced several feature music-themed documentaries, including I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, an award-winning film about the band Wilco; Moog, a documentary about electronic music pioneer Robert Moog; and Drive Well, Sleep Carefully, about the band Death Cab for Cutie. Since its world premiere at the SXSW festival in Austin this past March, Helvetica has been shown in cities from Auckland to Istanbul, and from Boston to Belfast. Released in time for the font type's 50th anniversary, it has also been screened at Zurich's Helvetica50 celebration and at a commemorative exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Admission to the screening is free with a San Antonio College ID, and $4 for the general public. For additional information regarding this event please contact Debra Schafter at 785-6074.

2006/2007

Lecture:

Mike Greenberg
This is Not an Arch:
Notes on the Moral Discourse of
Authenticity in Architecture

- A lecture by Mike Greenberg,
Senior Critic for the San Antonio Express News
Thursday, March 29, 10:50 a.m.
Visual Arts Center (vatc 120)
San Antonio College

The Visual Arts Center is located on the corner of
Dewey & Lewis Streets on the San Antonio College campus.

In "Hamlet," Polonius concludes his advise to his son Laertes with the classic statement of the value we now call personal authenticity: "To thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." The late 19th century brought a parallel call to architectural authenticity, Louis Sullivan's maxim, "Form ever follows function." In both architecture and moral philosophy, "authenticity" and a related term, "integrity," have proven highly problematic.

On Thursday, March 29 at 10:50 AM, architecture critic Mike Greenberg will explore the question of what constitutes an authentic architecture in an inauthentic age in his lecture, 'This Is Not an Arch: Notes on the Moral Discourse of Authenticity in Architecture.'

A native of San Antonio, Mike Greenberg is senior critic for the San Antonio Express-News, where he has written about the arts and urban planning since 1979. He previously was managing editor of 'D Magazine' in Dallas (1978-9) and 'Chicago Magazine' (1972-78). He is the author of 'The Poetics of Cities: Designing Neighborhoods That Work' (Ohio State University Press, 1995) and 'Synthesis: Architecture, Craftsmanship, Design' (American Institute of Architects Committee on Design, 1990).

For additional information regarding the lecture, please contact Debra Schafter at 210-785-6074 (Film & Lecture Program Committee Chair).
This event is sponsored by the San Antonio College Visual Arts & Technology Department, the Office of Student Life and the Student Activity Fee Committee.

The Department of Visual Arts and Technology at San Antonio College is pleased to present Lampo Leong: Spirit of the Sublime, a lecture by internationally renowned painter, calligrapher and multimedia artist Lampo Leong on Monday, March 26, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. in the Visual Arts & Technology Center, Room 120. In his illustrated presentation, Professor Leong will address the challenge of synthesizing and transforming traditionally divergent aesthetic values-Chinese and European, conventional art and new media-in his latest series of paintings, Contemplation · Forces, many of which will be on view in the VATC gallery through March 30. The lecture will be followed by a calligraphy demonstration at 11:00 and the presentation of two short films by the artist. The day's events will conclude with a closing reception of the exhibition Spirit of the Sublime in the VATC Gallery at 12:00 noon.

Lampo Leong received his BFA in brush painting from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in China in 1983 and a MFA in painting from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco/Oakland in 1988. He is currently Associate Professor of Art at the University of Missouri-Columbia and is completing a Ph.D. in Art Theory at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Professor Leong's work has been featured in more than 55 solo and 250 group exhibitions in museums and galleries worldwide, and appears in the permanent collections of numerous museums and institutions internationally, including the Cantor Center for the Visual Art at Stanford University, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Saint Louis University Museum of Art, Macao Museum of Art in Macao, and Guangdong Museum of Art in China. He has also collaborated with dancers, musicians and composers, such as Lily Cai, Chanticleer, Gang Situ, Yi Chen and Thomas McKenney, for multimedia performances and digital film productions. Most recently, his films have been shown at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and were included in the St. Louis International Film Festival.

This lecture is presented by the Department of Visual Arts and Technology, the Office of Student Life, and the Student Activity Fee Committee at San Antonio College.

Andy Goldsworthy: River and Tides (2001; 90 min.)
British environmental sculptor Andy Goldsworthy uses nature as his
primary medium, creating ephemeral outdoor sculptures from the most fragile of materials—leaves, piles of rocks, ice, and natural pigments. In this documentary, filmmaker-cinematographer Thomas
Reidelsheimer captures Goldsworthy’s extraordinarily beautiful, yet
delicate and fleeting, natural installations, while exploring the fluidity of form, color and light in nature.

Bill Viola: The Eye of the Heart (2003; 56 min.)
One of America’s foremost pioneers of video art, Bill Viola examines universal themes of humanity (life, death, suffering, and spirituality), and describes the creative process that give rise to the evocative video-sound installations he has been producing over the past three decades.
(Contains mature themes.)

Isamu Noguchi: Stones and Paper (1997; 56 min.)
Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi began his career in the high modernist culture of pre-WW II Paris, but, guided by his binational heritage, synthesized eastern and western influences in his post-war work to produce extremely refined and wholly innovative masterworks in paper, ceramic, stone and garden design.

Preceded by PBS’s ART:21 segment on the making of The Order
(approx. 15 min.)
Contemporary artist Matthew Barney’s Cremaster Cycle combines sculpture, film and performance art in a visually lush and complex mega-production that merges the themes of sports, biology, sexuality, history and mythology in a surreal odyssey. Part III of the Cycle, “The Order,” will be introduced with an examination of the elaborate costuming, makeup, sculpting and filming of the Cremaster Cycle.
(Contains nudity and mature themes.)

Expressing the Inexpressible: Shirin Neshat (2000; 42 min.)
In this documentary program, photographer and filmmaker Shirin Neshat explains several of her hauntingly beautiful video installations and photographs. Neshat’s art addresses the cultural divide between East and West while investigating tensions between traditional and modern values in quasi-narrative, open-ended works.

A film series presented by the Department of Visual Arts and Technology
and sponsored by the Office of Student Life

NOVEMBER 3 & 4, 2005
San Antonio College. Visual Arts and Technology Center, Room 120

The Department of Visual Arts and Technology presents a selection of films dating from 1984 through 2001 by
renowned Japanese animator and director, Hayao Miyazaki.
All films will be shown in VATC 120, and are free and open to members of the SAC community.

Hayao Miyazaki - interview (by Tom Mes, Midnight Eye)

Thursday, November 3

9:25 AM - My Neighbor Totoro, 1988 (86 min.)
Lavishly illustrated, the poignant story of My Neighbor Totoro follows the adventures of two young sisters, who move with their
father to a country home while awaiting their mother’s recovery in a nearby hospital. There, they encounter a host of benign magical
presences including Totoro, a giant forest sprite, who is part imaginary friend, part surrogate mother and, ultimately, a supernatural guide.

11:00 AM - Spirited Away, 2001 (124 min.)
Considered Miyazaki’s masterpiece, Spirited Away is the fantasy adventure of a self-indulgent ten-year-old girl, Chihiro,
Her story begins in everyday Japan, but passage through a magic tunnel brings her to the Land of the Spirits, inhabited by
gods and monsters and ruled by the greedy witch Yu-baba. A film that explores many of Miyazaki’s most prominent themes
(the child protagonist, nature, ecology, mysterious lands, and the working class), Spirited Away is the winner of numerous
international film awards, included the 2002 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film.

1:50 PM - Princess Mononoke, 1997 (133 min.)
Set during the Muromachi Period (1333-1568) of Japan, Mononoke Hime is a story of the mystic fight between the animal gods
of the forest and humans. San (Mononoke Hime), a human girl raised by the wolf god Moro, must save the forest from being exploited by
Lady Eboshi for the purpose of sustaining a kingdom of oppressed people. Ashitaka, an Emishi boy, struggles to find a way for both sides to co-exist.
This imaginative, expressive and beautifully illustrated film won the Japanese equivalent of the Academy Award for Best Film in 1997.
5:30 PM - Nausicaä, 1984 (116 min.)
Nausicaä, the princess of a small nation, lives in a world devastated by a holocaust called the “Seven Days of Fire.”
She tries to stop other warring nations from destroying themselves and from annihilating the only means by which their world can be saved from the
spread of polluted wastelands.

Friday, November 4

9:00 AM - Porco Rosso, 1992 (93 min.)
The rise of fascism forces an Italian Air Force pilot to leave active
duty and become a bounty hunter, assuming the name “Porco Rosso” (literally “Crimson Pig”). In his red hydroplane,
he scours the skies for air pirates who prey on cruise-ship passengers sailing the Adriatic Sea. Mocking Hemingway-pretentiousness
and 1930s B-movie action, Miyazaki explores his beloved themes of flight and aviation with a vibrancy that takes the art of animation to new limits.

11:00 AM - Laputa: The Castle in the Sky, 1986 (124 min.)
Pazu rescues an unconscious girl, Sheeta, descending from the night sky, and helps her to escape from the sinister military operatives
and villainous airpirates obsessed with Laputa, a legendary kingdom on a floating island in the sky, with which Sheeta is suspected of being connected.

1:30 PM - Kiki’s Delivery Service, 1989 (102 min.)
Kiki’s Delivery Service is a coming-of-age film, only the 13-year-old heroine is a witch. As tradition dictates, she must leave her family
and home to spend a year in another town to learn to be independent and hone her trade. Magical skills or not, Kiki is forced to deal
with the same feelings of loneliness and self-doubt any isolated young teenager would face, but overcomes the obstacles she
encounters to become independent and self-reliant.

STUART ALLEN is a visual artist and curator working in photography, site-specific sculpture and kitemaking.
He has curated exhibitions, organized kite festivals and lectured or served as a visiting artist at museums and
universities throughout the United States. His photographs and sculpture are part of many public and private collections
including the Tokyo Kite Museum, the Crocker Art Museum, and the U.S. State Department. He has created permanent

FALL 2004 FILM SERIES:
THE DILATED PUPIL
A film series presented by the Department of Visual Arts and Technology and sponsored by the Office of Student Life

NOVEMBER 10 - 11, 2004
In recognition of International Education Week (November 15-19), the Department of Visual Arts and Technology presents a
selection of international films related, in a variety of ways, to the subject of education and intended to expand our understanding
of film making in a number of diverse cultures.

Wednesday, Nov. 10

8:00a Zero De Conduite (French, Jean Vigo, 1933; 44 min.)

A surrealist fantasy of childhood rebellion, Zero De Conduite relies on special effects and innovative camera shots to enter
the lives of three disobedient boys constantly being threatened with ‘zero in conduct’ for their bad behavior.

9:00a Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter…and Spring (Korea, Kim Ki-duk, 2004; 101 min.)

A floating temple in the middle of a lake provides the setting for an extraordinary journey of a child monk and his master
through the four seasons of life. Five separate episodes are infused with Buddhist principles as Seo Jae-kyung learns
to deal with love, lust, anger, terror and, finally, enlightenment in his passage from childhood to maturity.

11:00a Elephant (US, Gus Van Sant, 2003; 81 min.)

Director Gus Van Sant (My Own Private Idaho, Good Will Hunting) provides an intimate view of adolescent life in
this elegant and unsettling film that follows students at a high school before and during a traumatic Columbine-like shooting

5:30p Los Olvidados (Mexico, Luis Bruñel, 1950; 85 min.)

A milestone in filmmaking, Los Olvidados looks at the lives of young delinquents growing up in the violent and crime-filled
slums of Mexico. In a film filled with contradictions, Bruñel juxtaposes the beautiful modern city with its decaying interior,
and explores the innocence in psychopathic children.

Thursday, Nov. 11

9:30a Blackboards (Iran, Samira Makhmalbaf, 2000; 85 min.)

Makhmalbaf’s award-winning film follows a group of male teachers as they cross the mountainous region of remote
Iranian Kurdistan in search of students. The blackboards they carry on their backs serve not only as their teaching tools,
but, also, as shelters and shields as they battle to survive the elements and enemy gunfire. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize
at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.

12:15p Small Change (France, Francois Truffaut, 1976),; 104 min.)

A cast of remarkably resilient children from a French village provide the focal point of Truffaut’s brilliantly moving poetic comedy.
The film has long been acclaimed as capturing the essence of the childhood experience, with all its pain, pleasure, joy and sadness

2:00p Elephant (See review above.)

6:45p Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter (See review above.)

All films will be shown in VATC 120
Sponsored by VAT Department and Office of Student Life at San Antonio College.
