The Haz-Mat Lecture Series is pleased to present

Nadine Robinson
Tuesday, November 6
12:30 PM -1:30 PM
Einstein Auditorium

"I present artworks that brings social and historical politics together
with a modernism/post-modernism which is located from a reference point
of black urbanism. I work with subjects and objects that are specific to
my experience. For example, my academic life, black media, spirituality
(Jamaican mysticism or obeah), the socio-economics/psycho-sociology of
Bronx county, and my own sexuality." ?Nadine Robinson

In Memory Of
paintings by Ralph Wolf

November 14th, 2001  -  January 11th, 2002
Gallery Hours: Mon - Fri 9 - 5,  Sun 12 - 8 / Gallery closed: Dec 21 -
Jan 1
Reception:  Wednesday Nov 14, 6 ? 8 pm
The Bronfman Center Gallery, 7 East 10th Street
For more information call (212) 998-4121

A native New Yorker, Wolf received his BA from the State University of
New York at Albany and his MFA in painting from Brown University.  He
has shown work at prominent galleries in New York, New Jersey, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Arkansas.  His most recent show was
presented at the Judi Rotenberg Gallery in Boston.

As an abstract painter, Wolf is interested in the experience of painting
and its relationship to both the canvas and the viewer.  He is also
influenced by Jewish tradition.  His paintings are an immersion in
Torah, an investigation of both tradition and its relationship to what
he calls the "pedestrian things of life."  In "Songs, Litanies, the
Torah, Paint, and Ralph Wolf," critic Lilly Wei notes that "Wolf is
interested in paint as an act of faith.=D6 It seems that for him, paint
and the Torah combine as if painting were a bit like praying."

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION........

To All MFA / BFA Students:

Students from Hunter College's MFA and BFA programs have formed a
Critique Club in which members view and discuss each other's work.  The
objective of the club is to promote dialogue in a format that's more
formal and structured than just "hanging out" but less formal than a
seminar critique.  Our Wednesday evening meetings consist of visits to
two members' studios.

Apart from our internal sessions, the Critique Club is seeking to
initiate "exchange" critiques with students from other NYC art
programs.  We invite NYU students to critique a couple of our students'
work at their studios, and we would in turn visit a few NYU students'
studios.  Perhaps the exchange can happen over a pair of  evenings
sometime this semester, with socializing (ie: food/drink, or a bar, etc)
afterwards. The first two dates will be Monday, Nov 19 at NYU and then
Monday, Dec 3 at Hunter.

If you would be interested in such an exchange, you can reach our club
contact, Justin Yockel, at 212.280.5685 or justinyockel-AT-hotmail.com to
discuss possible dates.

We would love to hear from you!

Sincerely,
Hunter College Critique Club

Dear Students:

'American Dream' is a film documenting the lives of personal histories
of New Yorkers who were either directly or indirectly affected by the
World Trade Center events.

The US and New York City in particular, have the distinction of being
populated almost entirely by immigrants, whether 10th generation or
recently arrived.  It is from this perspective that this film approach
its subjects.  The hope is to examine their version of the 'American
Dream'.  Through these personal narratives the history of New York City
will be explored, concentrating on the historical events that have
prompted or been the result of waves of immigration in the past.

My name is Sanjay Pahuja and I am currently researching to find subjects
of South Asian descent.  The current political climate within the US has
made the voice of South Asians particularly important because of the
hate targeted towards them that sees no distinction between South Asians
and those from the Middle East.  I hope to find people who will share
their views on their version of  the American Dream, from their reasons
for coming to NYC, their successes and how their perspectives may have
been changed as a result of the September 11th attacks.  I am hoping for
a range of people, from the 'stereotypical' taxi driver, to
professionals.

This search is URGENT, and I need to speak to prospective 'subjects'
very soon, within the next day.  Should you know of any person(s) that
would be willing to share how they have been affected please contact me
at 718.783.5722.

Regards,

Sanjay Pahuja
