“The Colors on My Mind” is a show of recent paintings by Blake Edison. Inspired by the rhythmic and lyrical qualities of soul music, Edison creates colorful gestural abstractions that hold complexity and radiate joy.  Seemingly both improvised and delicately considered, each work is embedded with delightful surprises–opaque smudges of muted pastel satisfyingly harmonize with fluorescent passages of acrylic paint, as a density of marks unexpectedly dances with wide open expanses of raw canvas.  Leaving each work untitled, Edison allows these visual poems to speak for themselves. The exhibition The Colors on My Mind will be open in Union South's Gallery 1308  from April 12th to May 24th of 2024. Galleries are open from 8am -10pm, Monday through Sunday.

The exhibition For: will be open in Memorial Union's Class of 1925 Gallery (2nd floor) from April 5th to May 17th of 2024. Galleries are open from 8am -10pm, Monday through Sunday.

Based on the classic feminist novel Orlando is a lyrical and highly theatrical tale about the life of poet Orlando as they strive to find true love and authentic artistic expression amidst shifting tides of history, cultural norms, and gender roles and expectations. As Orlando seeks real love and to write the perfect poem, they travel the world, through time, changing from man to woman, in a profound, moving, and funny story described as the most charming love letter in literature.

Cast: David Bowie, Rip Torn, Candy Clark

Bowie is Thomas Jerome Newton, a slightly advanced humanoid-alien sent to our world to find a way to save his own dying home planet. Newton brings along several inventions that make him wealthy but don’t alleviate his tremendous loneliness. Roeg’s brilliantly fragmented storytelling style takes the film beyond an exploration of outer space into the inner space of Newton's mind as he struggles to cope with life on Earth.
