The hacker ethos in the positive sense is about the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct information systems. Hacking starts with reconceptualizing libraries. Libraries are now beyond the book. As libraries evolve into a new sort of space --still a space for research, learning and study-- but also for community engagement and collaboration, library exhibits present a unique opportunity for both collaborating exhibitors and library users. Artists engage with libraries creatively through artist residencies, installations, using discarded library materials in their work, collaborative workshops, digital collections remixing, performances and more. Hacking the Library will present artwork that highlights the intersecting values …

Mechanisms Of Nourishment, Raymond Lloyd Brown Iii
Mechanisms Of Nourishment, Raymond Lloyd Brown Iii
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
This written thesis is a description and analysis of the ceramic work of Ray Brown. Included in this thesis is an explanation and defense of my work in my exhibition Mechanisms of Nourishment. It also unpacks the conceptual, technical, and formal aspects of the work.
The research explored in this written thesis discusses the relationship between the aesthetic and utilitarian components of pottery. From an analytical, iterative approach to form, I strive to isolate proportions that evoke a sense of volume and repetition. My references to Mid Century Modern and Streamlining Era design guide my efforts into dynamic mechanisms of …
Fostering Music Performers In The 21st Century: A Contemporary Professional Perspective Toward A New Curricular Agenda For Graduate Study In Music, Andre Januario
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
What if the core curriculum for graduate students in music performance were designed to prepare students to succeed in the world of the Fourth Industrial Revolution?
This dissertation offers a hypothetical answer: a structured and systematic academic curricular framework for music graduate students of performance of concert music (especially those in terminal degrees, such as doctoral students), along with music instructors, professional music performers, school administrators, and college professors, seeking to prepare such students for achieving and maintaining a music career more in keeping with the current work environment, especially those skills demanded by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the …

This article outlines a proactive feminist curatorial methodology to encourage feminist curated exhibitions leading to greater recognition for under and misrepresented artists and impacting statistics of representation.
The Museum Of Queer Curiosities, Reba "Feliks" Kay Pyron
The Museum Of Queer Curiosities, Reba "Feliks" Kay Pyron
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
This paper documents the research, personal motivations, and processes that make The Museum of Queer Curiosities (TMOQC). The installation, exhibited in the Paul Mesaros Gallery, uses the manipulation of traditional techniques in printmaking, sculpture, and craft, to create a space in which authority, labels, confusion, and compassion are discussed. Through the synthesis of familiar visual art installation techniques and museum display, the work attempts to provide a foothold for the viewer to navigate queerness and ephemeral identity. The body of work that occupies TMOQC creates the surreal simulation of a scientific museum, transforming the art gallery into a stage where …
Accumulation, Erin Mccarty
Accumulation, Erin Mccarty
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
This written Thesis is the supporting documentation for Accumulation, a Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition at West Virginia University. This exhibition creates an environment in which a viewer can enter. This installation environment is created based on formal elements combined with fantastical elements from the imagination of the artist. The formal choices in the work provoke a positive otherworldly and whimsical response in the viewer. The environment is designed to provide relief from problems in the everyday world through patterns, forms, colors and surfaces. These elements are harvested from the natural world and recombined in a fantastical way. …

Appalachia is often associated with its traditional arts and culture, but that does not mean that we are stuck in the past. Local traditions often play a crucial role in galvanizing forward-thinking cultural institutions, involving artists and workers alike in making new futures that are still distinctively Appalachian. This section of the exhibit highlights this kind of work from the West Virginia Humanities Council, Arthurdale Heritage, and more, connecting to a traditional past to new traditions yet to be forged.
A Look At A Water Exhibit In Appalachia, Megan Kruger, Sally Deskins
A Look At A Water Exhibit In Appalachia, Megan Kruger, Sally Deskins
Text
Climate change is an oft-controversial challenge – even uttering that term can cause discomfort, especially in the heavily rural areas where land is central to living, such as Appalachia. Visual art exhibitions and creatively designed educational information have the potential to open minds and transform perspectives. We explored this idea through a recent collaborative, interdisciplinary project between the West Virginia Water Research Institute and the West Virginia University Libraries, two organizations that don’t read as necessarily creative in the hills of Appalachia.
Allen Eaton And The Department Of Art And Social Work: Social Work In The Appalachian Arts And Crafts Movement1, Roger A. Lohmann
Allen Eaton And The Department Of Art And Social Work: Social Work In The Appalachian Arts And Crafts Movement1, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
This paper explores a singular chapter in Social Work, Appalachia and
American culture. Like many other aspects of Appalachian culture and politics, it is
primarily a tale of extended effort for what proved to be a lost cause. Like many
other chapters in the history of the social work profession, it is a tale of a bright
beginning and insufficient follow-through. It is an optimistic narrative of expected
and unanticipated consequences that have proven to be beneficial for the culture
and economy of the region. It is also a deeply political narrative, if only because it is
dramatically at variance …
