Fly Tie Friday

This month we will be tying the Bluegill Slayer 9000. This is  a great fly when fishing warm water for Bluegill, Crappie, or Largemouth Bass. Once you learn to tie one, you’ll want to tie all kinds of variations to ensure you have just the right color combination.

During this class, we will discuss the history of the fly, tie a few, and discuss how to fish this fly and what species it is effective for. Cost is $15, registration is required, and seats are limited.

Artists' Reception / Liber Floridus

ARTISTS’ RECEPTION
Friday, April 10, 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm 
Wege Gallery

The Wege Center for the Arts at Maharishi International University presents Liber Floridus with Amanda Curreri and Andy Ness. Featuring woven and textile-based works by Curreri and multimedia works on paper by Ness, the exhibition presents a compendium of the artists’ visual lexicons that include symbols, imagery and pattern rich with personal significance.

The exhibition draws inspiration from the Liber Floridus or “Book of Flowers,” a medieval encyclopedia created in Northern France between the 11th and 12th centuries with contents that span geography, mathematics, natural history, astronomy and countless other subjects. Known to be one of the earliest encyclopedias, its marriage of detailed illustrations and text intertwined spiritual knowledge with that of the natural world.

In Liber Floridus at the Wege Gallery, the two artists blend content with materiality demonstrating a shared wonder within their processes and evolving subject matter. As an old book might fall open to a repeatedly visited passage, Ness and Curreri revisit specific imagery—references to human and animal bodies, folklore, architecture—while churning it through their own idiosyncratic artistic approaches in the studio. The artists’ processes and materials take on further significance within the context of Liber Floridus as one considers the historical implications within the work.

Gallery Talks with Amanda Curreri & Andy Ness

GALLERY TALKS WITH AMANDA CURRERI & ANDY NESS
Saturday, April 11, 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Wege Gallery

The Wege Center for the Arts at Maharishi International University presents Liber Floridus with Amanda Curreri and Andy Ness. Featuring woven and textile-based works by Curreri and multimedia works on paper by Ness, the exhibition presents a compendium of the artists’ visual lexicons that include symbols, imagery and pattern rich with personal significance.

Andy Ness’ works vibrate with ethereal energy, glowing with metallic leaf, and grounded by recognizable imagery amongst colorful washes and textures. To achieve the widest range of opacity and transparency in his drawings, Ness mixes pigments and binders, incorporating walnut ink for its fugitive traits. As one of the primary inks used by medieval manuscript illuminators, its qualities become philosophically resonant as it shifts and oxidizes over time, paralleling the medieval sense of knowledge as always partial, always subject to revision. Just as encyclopedias are living documents rather than fixed authorities, so, too are Ness’ works, in a state of constantly arriving, finding voice from what came before.

Amanda Curreri incorporates storytelling, social justice histories and folklore into her textile works. Regarding weaving as a social technology, Curreri uses it to learn from history, layering collaged imagery and techniques, as she shifts between floor looms, table-top looms, and the digital Jacquard loom. The Jacquard loom, invented in the early 19th century, uses punch cards to encode pattern, linking it as a direct ancestor of binary computing and digital logic. Curreri’s digital Jacquard loom sits at a peculiar historical crossroads, connecting backward to medieval tapestry as encyclopedic storytelling, and forward to the logic of databases and digital archives. The loom itself becomes a kind of compendium machine, as Curreri’s work occupies the whole timeline simultaneously.
