“Selected Smiles” an exhibition of serigraphs by BENJAMIN GROSS “Selected Smiles” is a new series of twenty-six editions of serigraphs with each print directly connected to one of the letters of the alphabet.

Salem State Art + Design Professor Benjamin Gross states, “Human expressions have always been crucial, poignant elements in my art.

Some of the faces in this series are storied, significant, similar, or just plain silly. My work can be subjective and personal at times, but always strives to be deliberate, immediate, and revealing.

The bold, graphic quality of the black and white serigraph allows me to get at the fundamental roots of process and content. In my portrait selections, there’s a focus on issues of gender, identity, character, humor, personality, ethnic heritage, and contemporary culture. My work allows the viewer to find parallels between the portraits I have chosen to showcase and the people that they encounter in their own daily experience.”

Exhibition: January 20 – February 11, 2015 Opening Reception: Wednesday, January 28, 3 pm Gallery Talk and Reception with the Artist: Wednesday, February 4, 6 - 8 pm

“Light” an exhibition of paintings by MARK MALLOY Looking from a specific location for an extended period of time reflects the changing light of time passing on what one sees (or thinks they see). The work in “Light” began with a number of painting trips in the fall of 2014 to Provincetown, MA on the very tip of Cape Cod. As the fall of 2014 continued, Mark Malloy used these landscape paintings created en plein air as the driver behind new explorations in painting, design and illustration.

Painting on canvas as well as watercolor on paper will be featured in this exhibition, alongside digital components.

Mark Malloy has been a professor in the department of art + design at Salem State University since 1999.

He teaches painting in the fine art area as well as graphic design. Professor Malloy’s work is featured throughout the campus of Salem State, including on the ground floor of the library.

RENEE FREID ’15 Honors in Art: PAINTING Between one and three graduating seniors within the art + design major can be selected to showcase their work in an Honors in Art solo exhibition. These students have excelled throughout their careers at Salem State, branching out on their own and exploring new and different avenues within their field of expertise. They spend the entire academic year developing a body of work for this exhibition.

In her painting, Renee Freid ’15 strives for compositional harmony and luminous color. Early on, she found inspiration in the gestural paintings of Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline as well as in the spatial and color relationships of Hans Hoffman’s work. She is fascinated by both the rawness and the complexity of non-objective painting and how it can capture a kind of energy that is difficult to put into words— an intrinsic emotional experience. Renee takes a great delight in the tactility of painting and says, “Many times I start off with a certain ‘game plan’ and end up in a different direction, responding to the different color relationships as they build within the composition. At times it’s difficult to let go of needing a subject in order to paint but, essentially, I simply want to paint and once the painting gets started, it just seems to take over.”

Exhibition: April 21 – 29, 2015 Reception: Wednesday, April 22, 6 - 8 pm

STUDENT ART AWARDS This annual exhibition focuses on the most important aspect of the Salem State University art + design department: the students. Each year, the faculty selects students within the various artistic disciplines who have distinguished themselves by achieving and surpassing what is expected of them. These students are given awards of excellence and are invited to display several pieces of his or her work in this annual exhibit. The work on display will range from more commercially-oriented media, such as graphic design, multimedia design, and photography to fine arts media such as sculpture, printmaking, drawing and painting. This show represents many years of hard work and is perhaps a glimpse into the future of the professional art world.

Exhibition: March 30 – April 15, 2015 Reception: Wednesday, April 8, 6 - 8 pm

Afro-Haitian Dance Master Class taught by Jean Appolon Afro-Haitian dance has greatly influenced the modern dance world, largely through the research and exposure of modern dance icon Katherine Dunham. Haiti captured Dunham’s heart in the 1930s, when she arrived as a dancer and anthropologist to study the country’s culture, history and, particularly, its dance. Dunham, in turn, captured the hearts of Haitians by making the dances of Haiti and the Caribbean internationally known. Now, the “folklorization” of Haitian dance allows both religious and social dances to travel and be performed in the secular context of the proscenium stage.

In addition to being the co-founder and artistic director of Jean Appolon Expressions (JAE), Jean Appolon is a successful choreographer and master teacher based in Boston and Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Appolon received his earliest training and performance opportunities in Port-au-Prince with the Lynn Williams Rouzier Dance School, the Viviane Gauthier Dance Company and the Folkloric Ballet of Haiti. Appolon continued his dance education in the United States at the Harvard and Radcliffe Dance Program, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and the Joffrey American Ballet School.

Appolon teaches dance for Boston Ballet’s City Dance and Boys in Motion programs, UMASS Boston, Dorchester Academy and The Dance Complex (Cambridge, MA), among other institutions. Since 2006, Appolon has directed a free annual summer dance course in Port-auPrince that serves young, aspiring Haitian dancers who do not have financial resources.

And Yet We Go On An Evening of Beckett Shorts Directed by Peter Sampieri A mouth floats in darkness. Three heads stand atop three jars to relive past mistakes. Two creatures emerge from sacks to play out a cosmic vaudeville. Enter the world of master dramatist Samuel Beckett, who famously wrote “The end is in the beginning, and yet you go on.”

Perhaps more than any other modern playwright, Beckett had a special way of using both dream logic and biting Irish humor to express complex sentiments of loss, loneliness, and the conundrum of human existence.

Asking many more questions than he ever answered, Beckett’s plays will have us laughing into the abyss.

In a rarely performed special evening of seven short works entitled And Yet We Go On, come experience the poetic minimalism and dramatic ambiguity of the writer who changed theatre in the twentieth century.

Thursday, March 5 includes a pre-show conversation at 6:30 pm: “Hope and Humor in an Absurd World”

Spring Awakening Book and lyrics by Steven Sater Music by Duncan Sheik Directed by William Cunningham Spring Awakening retells Frank Wedekind’s controversial and often banned German play from 1891. The story follows a group of teenagers on a quest of self-discovery, love, sexuality, friendship, and rebellion as they find themselves pitted against a repressive status quo. Duncan Sheik’s music, at once haunting and driving, paired with Steven Sater’s postmodern book and lyrics serve as ironic counterpoints to the inflexible conventions of late nineteenth century Germany.

While the musical uses alternative rock music to give voice and universality to the inner feelings of disempowered youth, it also explores darker themes including child abuse and suicide. In many ways it holds up a mirror to our own time as it confronts the challenges of adolescence, a challenge that is sometimes difficult for the adult world to navigate.

The Salem State University production of Spring Awakening will be intimately staged in the Callan Studio Theatre. Come and feel the impact of this ground breaking musical.

Mature subject matter. Not appropriate for children.

Thursday, April 23 includes a pre-show conversation at 6:30 pm: “Sex, Suicide and Rock and Roll: Are taboos harmful or healthy?”

FACULTY READING Salem State faculty continue to produce stellar work. Come hear faculty writers read from their latest.

Shall We Dance This Blizzard?

It’s barefoot Yul bowing at the door, gilded, royal, arms outstretched, then we two swirling, whirling new snow across the hill, up the slope, down the drive, through drifted yards, my silk white gown, petticoats rippling, wind trumpeting one, two, three, and . . . tall firs iced into glittering columns . . . one, two, three, and . . . obedient maples swaying too in time, and icicle fingers snapping the beat from the eaves as I spin to home, where I kiss his bald head and one two three and . . .

Salem with a Touch of the Supernatural BRUNONIA BARRY and KATHERINE HOWE Brunonia Barry and Katherine Howe are two writers who incorporate history, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural in their novels.

Both bestselling authors also use Salem, and the North Shore, for their subjects. Barry’s first book, The Lace Reader is set in Salem and incorporates the city’s lore. Howe’s most recent book, the young adult novel, Conversion, uses the history of the witch trials to frame a tale of modern day hysteria and mystery set in Danvers, originally Salem Village.

Brunonia Barry

Brunonia Barry’s work has been translated into more than thirty languages. She was the first American author to win the International Women’s Fiction Festival’s Baccante Award and received the New England Book Festival’s award for Best Fiction. Katherine Howe has hosted “Salem: Unmasking the Devil” for the National Geographic Channel, and her fiction has been translated into over twenty-five languages.

Katherine Howe Monday, February 23, 7:30 pm The Metro Room, Ellison Campus Center

A Class of Their Own RICHARD HOFFMAN and MICHAEL GERHARD MARTIN Richard Hoffman has been dazzling readers for years with his writing in various genres. In all his work, there is an awareness of social issues, such as class and race, as well as a sensitivity to the violence we inflict on each other.

Author Michael Gerhard Martin begins to mine similar terrain in his debut collection of stories, Easiest If I Had a Gun, which explores the constant hum of anger, violence and resentment in the lives of the dispossessed.

Richard Hoffman Michael Gerhard Martin Richard Hoffman is author of Half the House: a Memoir, and the poetry collections, Without Paradise, Gold Star Road, winner of the 2006 Barrow Street Press Poetry Prize and the 2008 Sheila Motton Award from the New England Poetry Club. He is Senior Writer in Residence at Emerson College. Michael Gerhard Martin, who teaches at Babson College, is the winner of the 2013 James Knudsen Prize from the University of New Orleans for his story, “Shit Weasel Is Late for Class.” His work has appeared in Junctures, Bayou Magazine, and The Ocean State Review.

Mud Matters in the First Circle ELIZABETH McKIM, poet

GRADUATE STUDENT READING Salem State graduate students represent some of the best new writers on the North Shore. They are involved in our community, teaching our children, writing our lives and dreams, shaping our language and our world.

They edit and publish Soundings East, the University’s national literary journal. Come hear what’s new, what’s fresh, the writing of the future.

Wednesday, April 22, 6 pm Reading Room (Ground Level) Berry Library She’s saying something about the cultural construction of the throat the inevitable metamorphosis of teeth and do you want the pine box?

I tell her that I’m really looking forward to lunch and that she talks a lot.

Elizabeth McKim

“Mud Matters in the First Circle” is a performance creation piece, told in the improvisational spirit of jazz, integrating spoken word, music and the visual arts. Beginning in the late 1970’s as a collaboration between poet Elizabeth McKim and musician Paulo Knill, “Mud Matters” has since been performed many times, both locally and internationally. This revision of Mud Matters will feature Elizabeth McKim with filmmakers Bruce Williams and Abbot Meader along with many local musicians. Through a unique confluence of the arts, “Mud Matters” will explore a sweeping range of human and natural themes, from creation to humor, war to personal identity, and joy to the blues. The performance is produced

by Salem State grad student M.P. Carver.

As a teaching artist, Elizabeth McKim models the integration of writing, spoken word, performance and visual arts.

Elizabeth’s own writing evolves from the oral tradition of song, story and chant. Elizabeth performs across America and Europe and is the Jazz Poet of Lynn, Massachusetts.

She talks a lot, and I don’t understand the words – but what a rhythm and what a time.

—Untitled Poem by SSU Graduate Student M.P. Carver
