  • Paper Moon by Teresa Bramlette Reeves, Kirstie Tepper, and Jessica Stephenson

    Paper Moon

    Teresa Bramlette Reeves, Kirstie Tepper, and Jessica Stephenson

    Paper Moon focused on work that, in one way or another, served as a substitute for the real thing. The emphasis of this exchange was not on artifice but rather on a sincere effort to imitate an ideal, the desire for which may be motivated by limited circumstances, need, adoration, and longing, rather than greed or irony. The show examined how these substitutes were intended to function, the nature of their appeal, and what role authenticity and our ability to “make believe” played in the proffered illusion.

    The idea for this exhibition began with a documentary about teenage magicians and evolved into a project in which the sleight of hand and trickery behind the illusion is made evident, but the willingness to be entertained remains. The title, Paper Moon, was borrowed from a Depression-era song, “It’s Only a Paper Moon,” written by Harold Arlen and made popular by versions released by Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole during the later years of World War II. It referred to a paper maché world of theater sets, homemade high school dance props, and parade floats—inexpensive backdrops that provide a bit of temporary glamour or romance.

    Exhibition Dates: August 30 - December 6, 2012

    Location: Don Russell Clayton Gallery and The Art Gallery, Sturgis Library

    ™COLLEGE OF THE ARTS | ART MUSEUM & GALLERIESUnmasking Creativity: Process & Product

    Diana Gregory

    The Georgia Art Education Association 2011 Member Exhibition Although creativity is a multidimensional, multifaceted complex of ideas, the inspiration and illumination for artworks is often found in the mundane and the ordinary. The works chosen for Unmasking Creativity: Process and Product were evaluated not only for their aesthetic production, but also for the explanation of their creative process. Providing a glimpse into what motivated the artist’s choices offers the viewer a deeper understanding of the work.
