The City of Sioux Falls is currently looking at adding QR Codes to sculpture bases in their annual Sculpture Walk event. As the public tours downtown looking at sculptures, they will be able to scan the code with their smart phone and watch a 30 second video of the artist talking about their work and how to contact them. The SDAN Newsletter Editorial Board would like to hear from you about your experiences with this new technology. We can share in the next publication if you send your thoughts and ideas to the moderator, Steve Randall at srandall2@sio.midco.net Thanks! |

The works of Rapid City photographic artist Steve Babbitt and Volin ceramic artist Michael Hill are on display through May 6 as part of the museum’s continuing South Dakota Artist Series. Babbitt, a professor of photography at Black Hills State University, has 29 pieces on exhibit. Most of his photos are of seemingly insignificant objects, such as a vacant diner or a tree planted within an urban sidewalk, from which Babbitt creates art. All but one of the photos in the exhibit have been shot in the past three years as Babbitt anticipated the exhibit, his first at the South Dakota Art Museum. Hill’s pottery combines form and function. His display of wood-fired stoneware and porcelain includes plates, pots and bottles. All can be hung on a wall or put to use in a home, and, like all of Babbitt’s photographs, are for sale at the museum. While Hill’s work has been for sale at the museum store for years, this is his first exhibit at the South Dakota Art Museum. Hill, a ceramic instructor at the University of South Dakota, attended SDSU from 1974 to 1978. When visitors see the exhibit, “You’re really just seeing a small part of the process,” Hill said. He plans to demonstrate the process via PowerPoint at an artists’ reception for Hill and Babbitt on Friday, April 27, at the museum. _______________________________ NEWS UPDATE DEC. 2, 2011 Blackfoot legend illustrations on display at Art Museum The South Dakota Art Museum has a new installment of Paul Goble ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS on display from his award-winning children’s book, “The Lost Children.” This new exhibit of vibrant illustrations will be on display through Sunday, April 1, 2012. CURRENT EXHIBITS: Carol Hepper: Inside the Between Exhibits September 16 - December 4, 2011 Carol Hepper grew up on a ranch near McLaughlin, South Dakota and attended South Dakota State University. Following her graduation from SDSU, she moved to New York City where she has become very successful in the art world. Hepper's sculptures are strongly influenced by her life in South Dakota. They are built from the traces of living things. Branches, animal skins and animal bones are brought together as if they were shelters. The work is carefully crafted but retains irregularities of natural objects. It reveals a contemporary approach to three-dimensional abstraction and to the use of color in unexpected ways, at the same time shows us how art can re-infuse life into the surrounding environment. |
