Art History major Samantha Holguin receives Wentz Research Award
Congratulations to Art History major Samantha Holguin for receiving a Wentz Research Award for 2021-2022! Wentz Scholars receive $4500 to conduct independent research with the guidance of a faculty mentor. About 40 grants are given each year from across the university.
Sam’s research project is titled “Sight and Sound: The Kinetic Sculpture of Dale McKinney and the Use of Audio,” and will examine the large collection of audio tapes that McKinney has left behind and begin the setup of a digital resource to be used in the future. The goal in the end is to have the reels of tapes be catalogued and available to listen to in a digital platform that will serve as a way to safely archive the work. She will be working with Dr. Louise Siddons.

Winners of the 2021 Mask Making competition sponsored by Religious Studies
Announcing the winners of the 2021 Mask Making competition sponsored by Religious Studies.
Masks have been used for religious, dramatic, and other artistic purposes for thousands of years. Masks have also been used to protect the wearer from injury in combat, in sports, and in more recent times, from pathogens. Due to Covid-19, masks have also become part of our daily lives. The aim of the competition was to help elevate the mundane burden of Covid masks to something more artistic, more symbolic, more culturally expressive.
Each student created a sculptural mask and provided a short video performance with insight into the ideation and technical approach to the judges. The University-wide competition was juried by Lawrence Pasternack, Professor of Philosophy and Director of Religious Studies, Jessica Teckemeyer, Assistant Professor of Sculpture, and Tom Wikle, Professor of Geography and CAS Associate Dean.
