MFA Thesis Exhibition: Ben Nathan & Marlaina Lutz

Arts/Entertainment

Personal Details by Ben Nathan

Personal Details is an exhibition of mixed media works on paper by artist, Ben Nathan. The art in the exhibition is the culmination of three years of aesthetic inquiry and research done by Ben while earning a Master of Fine Arts degree in Printmaking at USU. Personal Details borrows techniques and materials from Printmaking and Drawing, combined in the interest of creating subtly detailed layers and textures which reflect the artist’s thoughts on childhood, adulthood, and parenthood. Ben’s artistic goal is to produce images that are rich with personal detail, and aesthetically representative of the mental tapestries that he creates for himself when memory and reflection overlap. Each composition has been carefully crafted to portray Ben’s lived experiences through the representation of significant places, spaces, and objects. The works in the exhibition are the fruits of deep introspective thought fueled by memory, experience, and emotion.

A reception will be held Thursday, April 20. from 5 – 7PM.

Utah State Theatre: Misalliance

Arts/Entertainment

The play takes place entirely on a single Saturday afternoon in the conservatory of a large country house in Hindhead, Surrey in Edwardian era England. It is a continuation on some of Shaw's ideas on marriage, Socialism, physical fitness, and women intent on escaping Victorian standards of helplessness, passivity, stuffy propriety, and non-involvement in politics or general affairs. Misalliance is an ironic examination of the mating instincts of a varied group of people gathered at a wealthy man's country home on a summer weekend. Most of the romantic interest centers on the host's daughter, Hypatia Tarleton, a typical Shaw heroine who exemplifies his lifelong theory that in courtship, women are the relentless pursuers and men the apprehensively pursued.
