Prison art exhibit provides
a peek behind the bars
The Maude Kerns Art Center is of
fering Eugene a unique peek behind
the iron bars and heavy walls of the
penitentiary with an exhibition of
work by prisoners and ex-prisoners.
The "Art Behind Bars" show will
feature art — including paintings,
letters, cards and three-dimensional
sculpture using a wide range of me
dia — all done by inmates. The
show is focusing on local inmates,
and most of the art comes from
inmates in Oregon's state and feder
al prisons.
Maude Kerns Art Center publica
tion coordinator Marsha Shankman
said the show is a first for the gallery.

ing here, this is distinct; I don't think
we've ever exhibited art from
prison," she said.
The exhibit officially opens on Fri
day at 4 p.m. On Sunday, the center
will hold a reception celebrating the
art with special guest speakers, in
cluding U S. District Judge Ann
Aiken and Lane County Commis
sioner Peter Sorenson.
Shankman said she hopes that the
art will speak for the artists.
"There are a lot of talented inmates.
The work is very strong, very creative,
and I'm sure it will certainly give peo
ple a different impression of what it
means to be an inmate," she said.
The show also will honor the 30th
anniversary of Sponsors, a local
non-profit support organization that
aides ex-inmates. The Maude Kerns
Art Center is located at 1910 East
15th Avenue.

Playskool Fools, Snuggle-ups
to perform at EMU
On Monday, the University Cultur
al Forum will bring Tracy and the
Plastics to the University. The band is
an electronic-dance solo project and
the brainchild of Wynne Greenwood.
During the performance, Greenwoqd

with video-projected sidekicks acting
as the backing band.
Greenwood is a performance-artist
who is based in Olympia, Wash. She
has previously performed in Meme
America, another video-based band.
The performance is free and will
begin at 9 p.m. in the EMU Fishbowl.
Portland-based The Snuggle-ups and
Eugene-based The Playskool Fools
and the Noisy Toys Featuring The
Weightlifter, will also appear.

students to exhibit their work."
O'Connell said students and fac
ulty fondly remembered Krause's
memorable character when they
named the gallery after her.
"She was a very energetic and dy
namic woman," he said. "She
would stand up at faculty meetings
and put her two cents in."
Krusoe said she enjoys seeing
how students manipulate the space
of the gallery when exhibiting work.
She mentioned one of her favorite
exhibits about four years ago when
r
a student painted the entire gallery
black, built walkways, platforms
and filled the entire room with wa
ter. He included an upside down
fragrance tree, dressed in a white
gauzy costume and danced while
spectators walked through.
"It was incredibly magical," Kru
soe said.
Applications for exhibiting work
in the LaVerne Krause Gallery are
currently available for winter and -
spring terms. They can be picked up
in the Fine Arts Office located in
198 Lawrence Hall.
