"Iowa Photographs: Digital Prints, 1958-2000" by Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret & "Sixteen Meditations on the Land" by Marcia Wegman.
January 10th through April 15th.
Arts Iowa City brings two artists to the new Starbucks: renowned photographer Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret shows Iowa photographs from 1958 to 2000 and Marcia Wegman displays recent works on paper.
Images include "Martin Luther King at Coe College" [1962], and a portrait, "Divided Child" [1958], of a small black girl whose face is divided by a white curtain. Scenes of "Pike's Peak State Park" and the "Great River Road" in Northeast Iowa and rural scenes complete the exhibition of black and white and color photogaphs.
An Iowa photographer since 1945, Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret has photographs in museum collections including the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art and and private collections. She has exhibited widely. Her photographs in the show, My Life With My Camera, circulated by the State Historical Society of Iowa, currently hang in the new Judicial Building in Des Moines. Her photographs are in many books and publications. In 1996, she was elected to the Iowa women's Hall of Fame Joan and her husband Dwayne live in Iowa City and McGregor, Iowa.
Marcia Wegman's piece Sixteen Meditations on the Land consists of sixteen 11 inch squares. The paper she worked on is called YUPO. It is a synthetic material that she found worked wonderfully with graphite. There is also some acrylic paint and collaged paper in her piece.
Her challenge was to make sixteen complete compositions into a unified overall composition. She really loved the challenge and hopes other artists will continue using this existing matrix in future shows. This show will run until the middle of April at the new Starbucks on the corner of Burlington and Clinton in downtown Iowa City.
Hours: Normal business hours [6:00AM-11:00AM daily].
