The UW College of Arts & Sciences student blog Arting and Sciencing has a new name and a new location! Find our new blog Beyond the Quad here!
It’s been fun, but my time at the College of Arts and Sciences has come to an end. Until a new intern comes along to document the amazing work of the College’s students and faculty, may you keep arting and sciencing.

The throngs of artists, students, and professors barely fit into the Ceramic & Metal Arts building last Thursday. Everyone was there to kick-off Strange Coupling with its annual fundraiser auction. The project is student organized (I’m one of those organizers) and is in its ninth year of pairing UW School of Art students with Seattle artists. Each couple creates collaborative work to display in a group exhibition in April, giving both graduate and undergraduate students an opportunity to build relationships with Seattle’s art community.

The Jacob Lawrence Gallery’s new exhibit Introducing showcases work from the Master of Fine Arts class of 2012. 3D4M, Painting & Drawing, and PhotoMedia majors create a mix of eclectic work. Pictured here are works by Shaun Roberts, Adam Lee Matthew, and Caitlin Berndt.

Bright, bursting postcards depicting a shining New York city seem out of place next to a grim poster calling for the removal of un-German books from university libraries. The exhibit Publishing in Exile: German Language Literature in the U.S. in the 1940’s offers a glimpse of the work of German authors exiled to the United States in the 30’s and 40’s. The exhibit also highlights the publishing houses who supported those authors. Sponsored by the Department of Germanics and the Special Collections Division of Suzallo Library, the exhibit is on display until January 14th.

Daniele Di Lodovico, a PhD student in the School of Art’s Art History division, gave postcard-sized pieces of paper to artists he met across the world and gave each artist the instruction to make art that reflects her or his personal aesthetic. Now, these works by 100 artists from 10 countries are on display in the exhibition Suitcase at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery.

The Walker-Ames Room was full of philosophizing fourth graders when the hosts and production team of the radio show Philosophy Talk visited the UW campus. The radio show came to highlight the work of the UW’s Northwest Center for Philosophy for Children. The center promotes philosophy in k-12 education, with UW Philosophy students teaching free philosophy classes in Seattle public schools. November’s issue of Perspectives features an article about the program.

Tuesday’s opening of All or Nothing drew a crowd to the Jacob Lawrence Gallery. The show featured a diverse mix of School of Art students whose work was chosen by Stefano Catalani of the Bellevue Arts Museum. One of two annual juried shows at the Jacob Lawrence, All or Nothing is unique in that each student submitted three pieces and either all or none of those pieces made it into the exhibit. In the photos above are works from Sean McElroy (MFA Painting), Brittany Truex (Visual Communication Design), Max Kraushaar (Photomedia), and Neal Fryett (MFA Photomedia).
