This is the first year SMU is hosting the Spring Arts Weekend. On the docket: arts, arts and more arts (with some sports and video games thrown in). In this special Weekender issue, you’ll find a full listing of events. We’ve also mapped out event locations for those of you who aren’t familiar with the SMU campus and Dallas area.

EXHIBIT
Bridwell Library showcase highlights centuries-old books in new millenium By REBECCA MUSGROVE Staff Writer rmusgrove@smu.edu
T
SPENCER EGGERS/The Daily Campus
Bridwell Library highlights fifteenth century books in its current exhibit.
he Elizabeth Perkins Prothro Galleries of Bridwell Library is displaying an exhibit of fifteenth-century printed books from Europe, which will continue through May 2010. This exhibition features 60 books and broadsides printed between 1455 and 1500 from Bridwell Library’s collection. The items within the selection display characteristics that vary according to the copy, drawing attention to the ways that Europeans explored the new opportunities brought to them by Gutenberg, as well demonstrating as the widespread usage of printing during this time period. When early readers first obtained printed books, they often felt inclined to respond to the content or embellish their copies. Almost every item in the exhibit is embellished or decorated in some manner, whether it’s red rubricating on the first word of each verse in Gutenberg’s Bible, or a personal coat of arms at the bottom of a page. This tendency to display ownership or to write in the margins continues in modern books as well. Dante Silva, SMU sophomore, said he also annotates his books if it is one that he likes. The collection used in the gallery’s exhibit reflects the mainstreams of European theological thought based on classical and medieval traditions, and also from the beginnings of Christianity. Silva said that religious texts came to mind first when he thought of early printed books. “Even when it was more than just print on vellum, secular texts were printed later,” Silva said. He continued, “For the Dante Silva most part, it was the church Sophomore at the forefront.” This idea is most clearly demonstrated by the first text Johannes Gutenberg chose to print, the Latin Bible, or “Gutenberg’s Bible.” Bridwell Library has a copy of 31 consecutive leaves from this Bible speculated to have originally been owned by a Benedictine monk. Besides Gutenberg’s first printed book, the exhibit also includes the Rationale Divinorum Officiorum, a medieval treatise on Christian liturgy. This book is the library’s earliest complete book and shows the second way in which Gutenberg printed text. Whereas the Bible was printed letter by letter, Gutenberg could also print two complete lines of text. Although Gutenberg printed only in black letters in Mainz, Germany, many of the gallery’s selections have colorful lines and decorative edges that are indicative of foreign countries, showing his success in the international market. Other countries quickly created their own printing presses, still printing mostly in Latin, but occasionally in their native languages as well. Among these attempts is a Classical text of selected works by Marcus Tullius Cicero. This book is not only highly embellished by its owner, but it also is the first attempt to render Greek text in print. Overall, the exhibit contains a great deal of rarities from the early days of printed text, including two pieces from Spain that are the only surviving copies of their kind – letters of indulgence and “The Golden Legend,” a compilation of saints’ biographies and the only book intact from England’s first printer. This exhibit is free and open to SMU and the general public during library hours. For those unable to physically visit the exhibit, there is an online version on the Bridwell Library page at smu.edu/libraries.

DISPLAY
Ink drawings by Andolsek on exhibit at Pollock Gallery By PRAVEEN SATHIANATHAN Managing Editor psathianat@smu.edu
For some, the kitchen table may be nothing more than a place to eat dinner, but to artist Eugene Andolsek, it was where he created works of geometric complexity. Armed with a pen, colored inks and sometimes an eye-dropper, Andolsek would draw lines and shapes, creating works of art. The Pollock Gallery on the ground floor of the Hughes-Trigg Student Center is currently showcasing the amazing talent and sharp eye of Andolsek in an exhibit called “Kaleidoscope: Eugene Andolsek’s Geometric Ink Drawings.” The show, which began Feb. 1, runs until March 20. Andolsek’s career spanned 50 years, ending when his sight failed him at age 81. His body of work included thousands of pieces and has received praise for its intricate designs. In 2006, he was one of five artists whose work was showcased in the Obsessive Drawing exhibition at the American Folk Art Museum in New York City. Andolsek’s art is colorful and detail-oriented, to say the least. In the Pollock exhibition his prints feature the use of complimentary color pairings such as teal with pink, green with reds, yellow with brown and blue with yellow. Many of the designs are symmetrical, which adds depth and leaves the viewer wondering how Andolsek was able to create mirroring effects in the images.
His drawings’ structure may be symbolic of his rigid life. Andolsek worked for a railroad company and then for the state department. Later in his life his mother came and lived with him. There are a few spotlights in the gallery, drawing attention to a few of the pieces. But for the most part the gallery is dimly-lit, setting the ideal mood to view any art form. Each wall has two to three prints on it. According to the Meadows Web site, Andolsek’s work would have remained hidden from the rest of the world if it had not been brought to the attention of Andy Warhol by one of Andolsek’s friends.
‘Kaleidoscope: Eugene Andoslek’s Geometric Ink Drawings’ Exhibit runs until March 20 Located in the Pollock Gallery (ground floor Hughes-Trigg Student Center) Cost: FREE
