Brazilian Movie Series in the Commons 345 at 7:30 pm.

New Orleans based Jeff Louviere and Vanessa Brown have been collaborating artistically as Louviere + Vanessa since 1996.  Bringing together Jeff’s background in painting and printmaking and Vanessa’s experience with photography, the husband and wife team take a multidisciplinary approach to making photographs and films. Their surreal images make reference to dreams, memories, and imagined narratives.  They often scratch, bury or otherwise distress their negatives, subverting the photographic element of time. Louviere + Vanessa’s work has been shown in over 50 shows and film festivals including the Postdam International Film Festival in Germany and the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.

Staniar Gallery is open Monday - Friday, 9am-5pm

Olson's paintings have dealt with an interior-exterior theme for some time, with strong emphasis on light, color and pattern. Windows and doorways reappear in her paintings, as a means of passing from one space to another and as a device for incorporating various dimensions of time and place.

In her paintings, Olson strives to balance her gestural brush stroke with formal structuring resulting in a sense of ordered chaos. Her current work features landscapes and interior/exteriors from her travels to Italy.

The Williams Gallery in Huntley Hall is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
