Event: The Grapes of Wrath – Longwood University Theatre
When: Sun, Feb 28 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Description: We may think times are tough in America now, but the struggles encountered by the Joad family during the Great Depression were undoubtedly more challenging. Joining countless other migrant workers seeking a better life in the Promised Land of California, their wayward journey leads to side trips at squalid labor camps where efforts to find work and rebuild their lives evade them. Although they travel in circles of desperation, a determination to survive arises out of the dust of hopelessness—ending with a spark of compassion and tenderness that will touch your heart.

Showtimes: Thursday through Saturday performances, at 7pm; and Sunday matinees at 3pm.
Ticket Prices: , Longwood students; , senior citizens, other students, Longwood Faculty/Staff; and , general public. Advancereservations are recommended; payment required at time of reservation.

Event: H-SC Wonder: The Camera Obscura!
When: Mon, Mar 1 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Description: Often seen as an object of wonder, the Camera Obscura (literally meaning “Darkened Chamber” in Latin) is the technology that was the forerunner to the modern camera. The viewer of the object sees the image projected onto a screen through a tiny hole (an aperture), allowing people to observe objects without directly looking at them, for example during a solar eclipse. Often times, drawings or sketches were made of what the viewer saw.
This amazing feat of optical engineering is really rather easy to achieve. First our class sealed the room so that no light could find its way in. This task was achieved with the aid of scrap cardboard, black plastic, and duct tape. Then we created an aperture from a pie tin so that only a small amount of light from outside the window could be seen. This light from the outside shines onto the screen, creating the image that you are about to see.

WHY IS THE IMAGE UPSIDE DOWN?!?!

When light is reflected off of the object being viewed, it does not travel straight through the aperture. Instead, light from the top of the image hits the bottom edge of the aperture and crosses with light from the bottom of the image that hits the top of the aperture. This effect creates an image that is upside down. This phenomenon also occurs in our own eyes, but our brains correct the image so that the right side is up.

WHO BUILT THIS WONDER???

We are a class of Freshman Honor Students who are studying the topic of wonder. We are taught by two professors from different disciplines that allow us to explore the way that wonder is presented by writers and artists. In the second semester of this class we are focusing on how wonder is displayed; this includes visiting museums and galleries. Our focus on the display of wonder has led us to create an installation of our own: the camera obscura that you are about to see.

If you have any questions about the camera obscura project, please feel free to e-mail any one of our class members.

WHAT DO I DO TO SEE THIS WONDER??

When you enter the room, it will be completely dark. Pick up a flashlight on your right, and proceed carefully to the right; there you will find a narrow passage covered by a cardboard door. Turn sideways through the door, since it is rather narrow. You have then entered the camera obscura. Once inside find a seat on the couch on the far wall, or in one of the chairs. Be careful not to block the tiny pinhole aperture that allows the light to come in. Also be sure not to touch the screen as it is suspended from the ceiling and could possibly be pulled down. Once seated allow five to ten minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness. Then you will be able to see the projected image on the screen.

HOW DOES THIS EVEN WORK?!?!

Bundles of light pass through a small hole called an aperture. This aperture can have a lens or simply be a pinhole. The light that travels through the aperture into a completely darkened room is projected onto a large flat surface, in our case a screen. An image appears on this screen because the light from the outside reflects off Gilmer, goes through the pinhole, and onto the screen. Generally the smaller the aperture, the sharper the image appears. In your case you will be viewing an image of Gilmer hall and Via Sacra

Camera Obscura is open weekdays from 9-5.
Disclaimer: We cannot accept any blame for any injury you may receive from walking in or out of the darkened room. Proceed with caution at your own risk.

Event: Public Artist’s Talk – William Martin
When: Wed, Mar 17 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Description: New Sculpture Brings Midwestern Elements to Longwood Campus

Inspired by scenes and machines from a Midwestern landscape, sculptor William Martin will install Oilpull on the Longwood University campus on March 16. On Wednesday, March 17, at 6 p.m., he will offer a free, public artist’s talk in Hiner Auditorium.
William Martin creates sculptural contraptions that look like they could work, but, are, in fact, functionless. Drawing from the history of invention, Martin invites viewers to imagine narratives for these humorous and technologically useless devices. Oilpull is one such gadget of impossibility. Each of its elements is an assemblage of shapes derived from old mid-western farm industry. Even the title refers to a specific name-brand of steam-powered tractors. The cylindrical parts of the work are abstractions of grain silos, the disc-like components originate from steam train wheels, and the base is a wooden interpretation of a train track. Horse head oil pumps that Martin remembers from the expansive fields in the Midwest inspire the sculpture’s arced pose. Oilpull’s materials and various parts reference industrial equipment, but in their aggregation they are transformed into an elegant work of abstraction.
Martin received a BFA from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and a MFA from Louisiana State University. In addition to the more typical mediums of wood and steel, he also works in blacksmithing and iron casting. His work has been included in numerous national exhibitions and collections. A few noteworthy examples include DeCordova Sculpture Park, Convergence Outdoor Sculpture in Providence RI, Indiana State University, New Orleans Hilton Riverside Paul Buckley Collection, and The Fidelity Investment Collection. Martin teaches sculpture at Rhode Island College in Providence.

Sculptures that appear as part of the Brock Commons Outdoor Sculpture Program remain on campus for two years, as part of a rotating display of art designed to showcase a variety of styles, materials, and artists. The program is sponsored by the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts and the Longwood University Office of Facilities Management. More information about the Brock Commons Outdoor Sculpture Program is available on the LCVA’s web site at: http://www.longwood.edu/lcva/exhibits/brock/brock.html, or call 295-2206.
