Margaret Craig, Printmaking Department Chair

As we begin the 2017-18 academic year, the end of it is already in our thoughts because our first commencement exercises are scheduled for April 29, 2018. Anyone involved in planning for the future – and that’s most of us in one way or another – knows how infrequently we pause to take stock of the present, but recently I felt compelled to do just that, to consider the enormous significance of this year.

Not only will our first students graduate this year, but we will also complete a master plan for 20 years hence, roll out a new brand strategy and graphic identity, submit our application for accreditation to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and launch a statewide awareness campaign.

The remarkable confluence of ideas, events, and endeavors underway at this pivotal point, I’ve labeled our “inflection point,” and a lot hangs on its synergy and success.

With this edition of Artist’s Proof, you have in hand an expression of our new graphic identity. Built upon research regarding what our various audiences said about us, it reflects the core of who we are and where we’re located. It accentuates the infinite possibilities of art, conveys energy and stability, tradition plus innovation. It suggests our commitment to art and artists shaped one by one and that a solid foundation of studio skills are at the heart of our students’ success.

As always, I thank you for the role you play and ask for your feedback. You are at this inflection point with us, making my confidence in our future all the stronger. Thank you!

BFA DEGREE PROGRAM UPDATE

Incoming Class Reflects Evolution

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Abe Vasquez: Art Student and Art Teacher

BFA students Kiara Hawkins, Wade Dillon, and Walden Booker take a break to share impressions with Dean eddie Depuy.

By Edward Dupuy, Dean For THiS iSSUe of Artist’s Proof, i spoke with three new BFA students who shared insights about why they chose Southwest School of Art. Two of the students are traditional-aged freshmen, right out of high school — Walden Booker from Northeast School of the Arts (NeSA) and Kiara Hawkins, who graduated from James Madison High School. The other is an older, non-traditional, freshman — Wade Dillon. Wade has been out of high school for several years, has not previously attended college, and has worked as an independent illustrator and a docent at The Alamo.

Walden: “…the SSA faculty seem really willing to challenge me.”

Walden based his decision to come to SSA on the BFA faculty: “I chose this school mainly due to the faculty that I was graciously able to meet,” says Walden. He applied to five other colleges and faced a difficult decision: “I had to figure out what meant the most to me in an educational environment, and I think the most important component is your teachers and how open minded and willing they are to interact with you. And, the SSA faculty seem really willing to challenge me.”

Kiara: “It’s like going to an art museum, except I get to see the process from start to finish.”

For her part, Kiara was headed toward a major in physical therapy before one of her teachers at James Madison told her she should consider art school.

She was accepted to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, but chose SSA for a number of reasons, including the fact that she had taken classes in the Teen Intensive Program and because she received a good scholarship. “I liked the class size, already knew my way around, and it was close to home.

It’s perfect for me,” she explained. Kiara is very much looking forward to her classes in the BFA: “It’s like going to an art museum, except I get to see the process from start to finish.”

Wade: “I want to be challenged in a creative environment…”

Wade’s choice represents the fulfillment of something he has wanted to do for a long time. He used to ride a bus route that took him by SSA, so he decided to look us up online. After coming for a tour, he noted that “the faculty and staff were extremely kind and welcoming… that showed me [the school] was genuine… and they really cared. From there, my heart was dead-set on attending.” Wade is making a fresh start with his spouse, who recently earned an MA in History from UTSA. He adds, “I want to be challenged in a creative environment, alongside like-minded people.”

I am delighted to work with all nineteen new students and I enjoy seeing our returning students back in the studios. We’re off to a strong start. And don’t forget! We’ll graduate our first BFA class in April of 2018. ■ 2

ARTIST’S PROOF SOUTHWEST SCHOOL OF ART

As

a member of the legacy BFA class at Southwest School of Art and an instructor in the School’s Young Artist Program, Abe Vasquez has a well-formed perspective on arts education. Abe’s immersion into the world of art began in a rather unconventional way… as a high school senior, he was unknowingly enrolled in an art class at Southwest School of Art by one of his favorite teachers. That experience awakened a passion for art; began a deep relationship with the School; and kindled a love of sharing his knowledge with others, especially young people.

Before enrolling in the BFA program at SSA, Abe had already begun assisting in the School’s Young Artist Program. "I really enjoy working with kids and teens, because their perspective tends to be simple and fresh,” says Abe. “Helping my students work through solutions has absolutely helped me in my own work.“ With only a few short months left until graduation, Abe is very excited, despite knowing how much there is still left to do. He explains, "I love the program here at SSA, but I'm ready to leave the nest. I find the art scene in San Antonio to be pretty intimate, welcoming and open to new ideas and I think that I have a lot to contribute.” Abe gives credit to the strong faculty, rigorous curriculum and the support of classmates for preparing him well for the next stage in his journey. ■

Abe works closely with a student in a Summer Art Studios class.

“Helping my students work through solutions has absolutely helped me in my own work.”

2016-2017 SCHOOL YEAR AWARDS

Honors Convocation

FACULTY SPOTLIGHT

ARTIST’S PROOF IN CONVERSATION WITH

Jennifer Ling Datchuk As part of her ongoing quest to learn more about ceramic history and the roads that porcelain clay has traveled throughout the world, Ceramics professor Jennifer Ling Datchuk spent the summer as an artist in residence at the European Ceramic Work Center (EDWC) in Oisterwijk, Netherlands. It was her fourth international residency, having also spent time in China at Sanbao, the Pottery Workshop, Kunstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, Germany, and a study abroad program in Ghana, West Africa.

THE 2017 HONORS CONVOCATION rewarded distinction in academic and

artistic achievement, teaching, commitment, leadership, and service, and held a lantern up to those ideals, which are the building blocks of the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program.

AP: Tell us a little about your most recent residency?

PRESIDENT’S LIST

My project at EKWC continues my research into historical ceramics and performative objects. I plan on using 3D scanning and printing of broken porcelain dinnerware to adorn my body and become a human kintsugi – the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold. This tender process of repair depicts beauty in the broken, and I am using this as a metaphor for the scars that tell the stories of the female body.

Joshua Alfaro, Gaby Borrego, Lorena Cardenas, Sara Castilleja, Ebony Coleman, Sofia Eichelmann, Shelby Guevara, Lauri Jones, Hailey Kuhn, Audrey LeGalley, Grace Locke, Bergen Milam, Juan Zavala Castro

Participating in international residencies and study abroad programs has allowed me to confront the idea of what it means to be American and how this identity construct influences my work. Part of my process is gathering stories and experiences that bring awareness to the experiences of the “other.” Fractured identities exist all over the world and this commonality makes us all global citizens.

EDITH MCALLISTER AWARD: EBONY COLEMAN Faculty member emeritus Beck Whitehead congratulates student Lata Gedala on receiving the Hanson Whitehead Award for “significant interest in paper / book arts.”

Awarded to a student who demonstrates the qualities of an inspirational leader and mentor, encouraging and supporting their classmates to succeed, and bringing care, empathy, and a strong sense of purpose to the classroom.

3D scanned body part and enlarged 15%, CNC milled in Styrofoam

AP: What will you miss most about being in the Netherlands and what is it that you missed most about the US?

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AWARD: LATA GEDALA

I miss the Dutch sensibility and lifestyle. Instead of saying “good luck” they say, “much success” and this simple shift in thought really left a positive mark on me. Of course, the thing I missed the most about the US is just the simple comforts of home, my bed, my dogs and the access to multicultural food. Dutch food is good, but no spice.

Awarded to the student who demonstrates engagement in the classroom; a strong grade point average while taking an abundant load of classes; and general academic excellence, including artistic and student development.

AP: How will you apply what you’ve learned to your personal practice and in your role as an educator?

STUDENT INVOLVEMENT AWARD: ABBEY ALVIS Awarded to a student who has actively sought to be involved outside the classroom, complementing their academic work through engagement in activities, internships, and other programs, both at SSA and off campus.

One of my goals for this residency was to learn more about 3D printing and CADCAM techniques in the ceramics field. I have always shunned technology in my work and believe in the mark of the hand, not the mark of a machine. I learned a lot during this residency on how to bridge the gap between handmade versus machine made and I’m excited to bring this debate to my teaching and personal practice.

OUTSTANDING FACULTY AWARD: CHRIS SAUTER

Lata Gelada, Beautiful Decay 8 x 10”, photo etching and Chine-collé 2016

Awarded to a faculty member who has been nominated by students – vetted by the Dean, the Director of Community Programs and the President – for outstanding service as a classroom instructor and mentor in the college program.

AP: What’s coming up for you?

I have been selected to exhibit at the Texas Biennial group survey exhibition, September 30 – November 11, 2017. I will also have a solo exhibition at Trinity University’s Department of Art and Art History in partnership with Blue Star Contemporary, which opens October 26, 2017.

Additionally, I will be part of a group exhibition, 74th Scripps Ceramic Annual, the longest running exhibition of contemporary ceramics in the United States, which opens January 2018 in Claremont, California. ■

CONTEMPORARY ART MATTERS

An interview with Chad Dawkins, Director of Exhibitions, Southwest School of Art

Q: WHAT IS AN EXHIBITION?

A:

AN EXHIBITION is a question. An exhibition is more than the artwork within a particular site. It is more than the visual, textual, auditory, and atmospheric sensations of that location. An exhibition is not a set of traits; instead it is a negotiated construct.

/// AN EXHIBITION is a framework — an apparatus—that exists where art, artists, curators, institutions, and viewers intersect. This framework is dependent on certain conventions in order for the connections to make sense and be meaningful. Typically, the convention of an exhibition is an assemblage of objects composed in space for the purpose of display. It is within the apparatus, and under these conventions, that we understand an object displayed in that space to be a work of art. Therefore, exhibitions are the contexts in which critical receptions to artistic creations are formed. An exhibition is a provocation, and the will to influence is at the core of any exhibition.

{

THE WORD EXHIBITION COMES FROM THE LATIN EXHIBERE, “TO SHOW, DISPLAY, PRESENT,” LITERALLY “HOLD OUT, HOLD FORTH.” AN EXHIBITION IS A DISPLAY. As Robert Storr says, “The primary means for ‘explaining’ an artist’s work is to let it reveal itself. Showing is telling.” An exhibition may clarify or affirm a work of art. Exhibitions should be revelations, but never apologies or excuses.

}

/// AN EXHIBITION does not finalize any given work of art, nor should an exhibition ever claim to make the final verdict on any work of art it contains. An exhibition is only one moment in the life-cycle of an artwork. Exhibitions, via institutions and printed material, may lend authority and offer specific revelations about an object or an artist, but they also reveal the limits of influence or worse, narrow the potential reading of an artist’s work. Focus is good, obstructions are not. An exhibition is a provocation.

…HOLD OUT, HOLD FORTH.

/// AN EXHIBITION is a strategic system of representations. It is a series of decisions, negotiations, and the consequence of time spent planning. There is a cold, calculating distance set into budgets and logistics that is overrun by the furious scramble to get the artwork and space prepared. (I don’t think there is any amount of time planning that doesn’t result in a brief panic, just hours—or minutes—before an exhibition opens.)

/// THE NECESSITY OF THE ART EXHIBITION is historically supported by the fact that attempts to subvert the structure of the exhibition have more often than not succumbed to their own shortfalls. As much as one supports exhibitions as platforms for improvisational gestures or as experiments, the core structure must remain intact for the purpose of communicating art. Therefore, an exhibition is a model of an exhibition.

/// EXHIBITIONS ARE occasions with their own histories and rituals.

Certain rituals become habitual — opening receptions are a given.

Sometimes closing receptions, panel discussions, workshops, tours, or special programs become parts of an exhibition. Institutions tend towards systems of display and programs that reflect the contexts within which they operate.

An exhibition is a medium.

An exhibition is a result.

USING TEXT as an introductory action, Dana Frankfort layers, distorts, and redacts letterforms into visual abstractions of blocks, lines, and curves. The immediacy of the text’s message is amplified or distorted through the material processes of obliteration and retraction and the literal meanings of her terms are distorted, becoming self-referential.

Frankfort’s visual manipulation of text illustrates the cumbersome suggestions of language and the limitations inherent to communication. The complexity of her painting and printmaking processes opposes the essentialism of the sentiments. Works on Paper is Dana Frankfort’s first exhibition in San Antonio.

IN HER ONGOING PROJECT, Umeyama Reports, artist Hiromi Stringer constructs an imaginary museum — the Umeyama Time Teleportation Museum (UTTM).

The focus of the museum is the highlighted achievements of Stringer’s fictional character, Shoei Umeyama—a Japanese man who, in this narrative, experienced time teleportation to the contemporary world in which we live from the Japan of 170 years ago. ​ tringer’s works reflect her concerns with language, (mis) S communication, and alternative points of view. In Umeyama Reports, she seeks to re-see and find alternative meanings for quotidian objects in her personal environment by creating an alternative point of view.

For her exhibition at Southwest School of Art, Holland created a series of cyanotype, or sun prints of vintage lace. The cyanotype is an alternative

photographic printing process that produces a rich Prussian blue print using a photo sensitive solution of iron salts rather than silver salts. “I am frequently surprised how this alchemical process transforms tattered and yellowed textiles into other worldly photographic images,” says Holland.

The entirety of the exhibition spans a 6-month period and will illuminate 300 years by 300 San Antonio artists. Partnering organizations include Artpace San Antonio, Blue Star Contemporary, Carver Community Cultural Center, The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, and Instituto Cultural de Mexico.

Each organization’s exhibition will represent a defined, 50 year period. At Southwest School of Art, the 50 artists will each focus on one of the 50 years from 1818 through 1867.

Because the 300 artists were selected by each other and randomly assigned their year, and because the exhibitions will open on different dates, Common Currents is expected to generate significant interaction among the artists and their audiences.

ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES is a presentation of prints made in an international print exchange between Southwest School of Art and the Leeds Print Workshop, Leeds, UK. This trade portfolio explores the idea of Arrivals and Departures

with printmakers at Southwest School of Art and fellow travelers across the pond, printmakers at Leeds College of Art in Leeds, England.

The Jeweler’s Saw The jeweler’s saw is my favorite tool. It has a C-frame, with a handle and uses a very small blade to precisely hand-cut metal.

Why it’s my favorite:

Because it allows me such control over the material and gives me the ability to cut intricate and finely detailed shapes out of metal.

How it became my favorite:

I realized it was my favorite when I created my very first metals project – a ribcage and scissors. I designed the project so the ribs and breastplate were one piece of metal and required many hours to saw. I loved setting up my workspace, and using the slow repetitive up and down motion of the saw to take bits of metal away to reveal my final design.

How my work would change if I couldn’t use my favorite tool any more:

If I couldn’t use the jeweler’s saw, my work would change quite a bit.

Using the saw to repetitively manipulate my materials is important to the conceptual development of my artwork. I imagine I would find some other way of cutting the metal, perhaps using a scroll saw, or I would find another material to cut. ■

Two Art-School Graduates Lead Gala Committee

“ONCE I KNEW that art was my professional calling, I began looking around for independent colleges of art and was a bit shocked to learn that the nearest art college was hundreds of miles away from San Antonio,” says Sarah. I ultimately earned my BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, but even as a 17 year old, I felt that it was a great loss to not have an independent college of art in the state or even in the region.” So, when she and Marks, a professional photographer, who is a Pasadena College of Art graduate, heard about the new BFA degree program at Southwest School of Art, they got so excited for the School that they purchased an entire table at the Gala, to lend support.
