BABSON COLLEGE

Microclimates: Mixed Media Art by Alison Williams. 10am-7pm. Hollister Gallery and Exterior

Ongoing until October 29.

Alison grew up in New Zealand, currently has a studio and garden in New Hampshire, and

attended art school in Scotland. With the influence of her father's greenhouses, Alison has

created glass houses for biology to overlap with creativity. Alison Williams is a 2009 recipient of

the Joan Mitchell Foundation Award.

The gardens and plants are inspiration for art making.

Canvases are buried and rot, paintings are made

outdoors in the rain, soaked flowers create delicately

colored "Juices", while leaves, stems, and seeds are

both stencils and collage materials layered over

"unnatural" paint, stickers and found materials.

oct 6.

Monotypes from Plants. 5pm-7pm. Trim 215

Inspired by the "Microclimates" art show, you will be making beautiful colorful monotypes

(single edition prints) using plants as both inspiration and printmaking tools. Monotypes are

made by rolling or painting ink onto a thin lexan plate and then running the plate through a

press with paper to print your image. For this workshop you will be using flowers, leaves, and

other plant parts to create your images. RSVP to Danielle Krcmar at [email protected] by

October 4.

Global Film Series: Children of Heaven. 7pm.

Sorenson Theater

Director: Majid Majidi. (Iran)

In this Oscar-nominated drama, a young Iranian boy accidentally loses his sister's shoes so he secretly arranges to share his own threadbare sneakers with her as they go to and from school at different times during the day. Repeatedly late for school despite his mad dashes, the boy decides to enter a highly-publicized foot race, aiming not to win but to take home the third-place prize: a new pair of sneakers. Through his child’s-eye-view, the movie offers a rare glimpse of everyday life in Tehran and a vivid sense of the precariousness of existence on the edge.

in front of the house of the wife chosen to receive a visit from the master. The power struggle

among the women and Songlian’s desperate attempt to escape from the confines of her life

leads to a dramatic and surprising conclusion.
