Art and Perception
Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 5:00pm in CAA-211
As soon as you have something defined, you stop looking. As soon as you stop looking, you are cut off from a sort of living knowing, and the nourishment this provides. This talk presented by Art Professor Stan Hunter will be about how art keeps the process of seeing alive, and how artists/architects/musicians upend things to keep us looking and listening.

When I’m Sixty-Four

Chaffey College and the Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art are pleased to present When I’m Sixty-Four, September 10 – November 21, 2012. The artists’ reception will be September 11 from 6-8pm with light refreshments and entertainment.

When I’m Sixty Four explores the lives of our country’s plus 50 population. In California alone it is projected that the population over the age of 65 will rise to 6.5 million in the first two decades of the new millennium. All aspects of life will be impacted from politics, public services, the economy, family structures, and healthcare. As our population ages we have to ask ourselves the role this group will play in our culture and whether or not our perception, acceptance and politics will mature along with them. The contemporary artists in When I’m Sixty Four use diverse approaches to explore the realities of the lives of our elderly, often through extremely private investigations into their own aging or the lives of their loved ones. Their work will pose questions about our concepts of aging, and what we can all do to access our older and wiser community members. The Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art and the Chaffey College Gerontology Program, part of the School of Health Sciences at Chaffey College, are presenting an in-depth schedule of public programs, lectures, film screenings, an all-ages community art festival, and special performances featuring the amazing seniors in our communities. Artists include Troy Aossey (AZ), Jeanne C. Finley (CA), Gina Genis (CA), Jessica Ingram (CA), Nancy Macko (CA), Peter Riesett (NY), Shari Wasson (CA), and Martha Wilson (NY).

Please visit us online for a complete schedule of events related to When I’m Sixty Four at www.chaffey.edu/wignall. Exhibitions and events are free and open to the public.
