FACULTY TALKS
On Wednesday, January 27 at 12:30pm Adam Sullivan will present a lecture, “Taking Care” in the Museum Galleries. He is an artist who works in paper, illustration, and painting. He is guided by both frustration and delight in the innate properties of a medium, and considers the material limitations a medium imposes a vital influence on his working method: the inscrutable symbolism and manic fantasy of his paper works are a product of the graphic simplicity and clarity of the hard-edged, unmodulated forms of cut paper along with the possibility for free association entailed in collage, while the Spartan somberness and sobriety of all the oil portraits derive from a self-imposed limited palette and the requirement that a painting be finished alla prima.
Lauren Baker will be speaking on Tuesday, February 2 at 5:00pm in the Museum Auditorium. She received her MFA in sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited in Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Vermont, and is in the collections of Kent State University and Mercedes Benz Financial Services. She is the recipient of many awards including a recent grant to attend Vermont Studio Center last June. She currently lives in Massillon, Ohio where she maintains her studio and is an adjusted professor in the Department of Art at YSU.
On Wednesday, February 3 at 1:30pm, Dr. Lillian Lewis will present “Commodity, Culture and Collaboration.” She is an Assistant Professor of Art Education at YSU. Dr. Lewis received her Ph.D. in Art Education with a graduate minor in Art History from The Pennsylvania State University. She received her MA in Art Education and was awarded a Graduate Certificate in Museum Education from the Univeristy of North Texas. Her text-based and studio research explores relationships between digital and analog learning communities in school and non-school settings, the nature of collaboration in the context of research and the role of institutional critique in social justice.
RJ Thompson, a practicing graphic designer, graphic design educator, and entrepreneur currently teaching graphic, web, and interactive design at YSU, will give a lecture entitled The City of You: Rebranding Youngstown, Ohio in the Museum Galleries on Thursday, February 11 at noon. The City of You was developed by RJ and his Youngstown Design Works students. The campaign was part of an economic development strategy offering a new narrative focus for Youngstown and was part of a federal grant received from the Economic Development Administration.
On Tuesday, February 23 at 5:00pm, Dana Sperry, currently Associate Professor and Digital Media area coordinator will present a lecture in the auditorium. He will be talking about a series of video and coded-based generative artworks that explore themes of isolation and anxiety of contemporary life. In addition, he will talk about his collaboration with Natalya Pinchuk titled “Dreaming Youngstown.” This social practice project focusing on brainstorming potential futures for vacant lots and buildings will act as a counterpoint to his solo work. The talk will explore different ways he attempts to create meaning and explore the potential of “art” marking.

Dawoud Bey: Picturing People
January 22 - March 7, 2015
Thursday, February 12 from 5:30 - 6:30 pm
Dawoud Bey will be YSU’s African American History Month Keynote Speaker. The lecture will take place in the McDonough Galleries followed by a reception, co-sponsored by the Africana Studies Program, McDonough Museum of Art and the Department of Art’s Distinguished Artist Lecture Series.
The John J. McDonough Museum of Art presents Dawoud Bey: Picturing People, an expansive career survey of the Chicago-based photographer, which ranges from street encounters to formal studio portraits. Dawoud Bey is distinguished for his commitment to portraiture as a means for understanding contemporary society, first gaining notoriety as a photographer for his acclaimed series Harlem USA, exhibited at The Studio Museum in Harlem in 1979.
Since 2010, Bey has been photographing two individuals that, although members of the same socio-geographic community, are strangers to one another. Casually positioned side-by-side, between them are differences in age, race, comportment, gender, etc., calling into question the terms on which community is imagined in relation to self and vice versa.
The 50 images in Picturing People, organized by The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, represent the evolution of Bey’s work in the three decades since, during which time he continued his portraiture of primarily African-American and teenage subjects. The photographs will be on display from January 22 - March 7.
Free and open to the public. The Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.

“Voices of the Valley” recorded by StoryCorp
June 24 - July 26, 2014
ABOUT VOICES OF THE VALLEY
The McDonough Museum of Art reached out to StoryCorps, inviting them to record and chronicle a representative cross-section of our community and their aspirations. The result will be “Voices of the Valley” - 30 conversations recorded over five days. We asked eight community based organizations noted above to come up with a list of community leaders who would form “Voices of the Valley.” 60 individuals were selected who, through entrepreneurship, redevelopment, technology, activism, faith and a deep connection to community, share their stories about transforming the Valley.
THE EXHIBITION
From June 24 to July 26, the McDonough Museum of Art will function as a “Voices of the Valley” listening center where visitors can hear the 30 conversations in individual, quiet, comfortable spaces using a variety of sound devices.
The public is also invited to participate in “Share Your Story Booth.” A recording booth that follows the style and spirit of StoryCorps will be available in the Museum for 25 minute conversations. Hours are limited so please grab a friend or family member and make a reservation. Participants will receive a copy of their recording and the possible inclusion in “DIGITAL MAAG”, a digital archive at Maag Library accessible to the public.
STORYCORPS
StoryCorps is an independent nonprofit whose mission is to provide people of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share and preserve the stories or our lives. Since 2003, StoryCorps has collected and archived more than 40,000 interviews from nearly 80,000 participants. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share and is preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind and millions listen to their weekly broadcasts on NPR’s Morning Edition, at storycorps.org, and through their podcast.
