A potpourri of expression
By JOEL ISAACSON
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The author
is an assistant professor in the
history of art ueparcient.)
So many art exhibitions,
particularly student shows, are
mounted in Ann Arbor and then
. so quickly disappear that they
seem to have been reserved for
the artists' themselves and for
a few friends. By the time we
become aware of them or get
around to it. it is too late.
So consider this an invitation
--to a very short-lived affair.
First-year Masters stud nts
from Architecture and Design
are exhibiting their work in
the Assembly Hall of the Mich-
igan Union today through Sa-
turday. Hours are Thursday and
Friday, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m., Sa-
turday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. The
Assembly Hall can be difficult
to find, but if you go to the
basement of the Union and
head south you will locate it.
The show offers a wide range
of formal expressions-at first
it seems a potpourri of discor-
* dant statements - and yet
very few of the major modes
of recent years are represent-
ed: there is no color field paint-
ing, minimal or kinetic sculp-
ture, earthworks or environ-

mental proposals, no op or
straight pop. Pop is there all
right but partly digested by an
appetite for abstraction or soc-
ial criticism. It is with the
latter emphasis that students
have appropriated pop art and
popular imagery since its first
significant appearance about
ten years ago. In this vein,
several of the artists comment
upon Vietnam, violence, and the
American condition (the three
by now all but synonymous).
Vietnam is violence, violence
is Vietnam, Vietnam is Amer-
ica - this seems to be the
message reiterated in Rita Mes-
sanger's semi-abstract, techni-
cally explorative silk screen
and mixed comments upon our
recent history. Vietnam is also
the scene of John Harkobusic's
photographs. Vietnamese peo-
ple and villages and scenes of
war are printed by means of
old photographic techniques
which give to them the air
of the faded family album -
there is a touchingly strained
image of a young boy - or
yield a subtly varied yet high-
contrast abstraction, as in his
solarized prints. A sense of
violence, to body and spirit,
also seems to be basic to the
heraldic plaques of David R.
MacDonald, offering images
which metamorphose from
flags to shields to helmets and
gasmasks to plastic wombs
from which spill forth the gen-
erations still to come. T h e
conditions of creation, growth,
and aspiration are the themes
of Sister Barbara Cervenka's
watercolors and multi-part oil
paintings of abstract and de-
formed images. The human
body, maimed or incomplete, is
suggested also in W ill i a m
Moore's sculpturally powerful
image of wood and m o 1 d e d
plastic.
Along with bitter social crit-
icism - and yet not always far
removed from it - we find hu-
mor and fantasy in generous
proportions. Ralph Moore's or-
gone-box-like Man I and his
molded plastic relief of frogs
offer bizarre references to the
human condition. Donna Webb's
ceramic, wood, and plastic sculp-
tures of useless curiosities-soft
vaguely sexual, unfunctional
tools, beautifully chrome-glazed
wedges of clay, and soft, plas-
tic ropes emerging from a black
box - offer striking examples
of the surreal, fantasy-gener-
ated imagery which, in one way
or another, pervades the whole
show.
