N. C. Visiting Artist Display Work
Wiseman will appear at ACC on Feb. 13 in connection with the series
"Public Issues and Human Values".
A group show of nine artists
representing the North Carolina
Visiting Artists Program is now
on display in Case A rt Ga llery a t
Atlantic Christian College. All
are artists-in-residence at
various North Carolina com
munity colleges.
The exhibit will provide
viewers an opportunity to see
examples of the talent that has
been made available to many
communities through a program
supported by the N.C. Arts
Council and the State Depart
ment of Community Colleges.
Atlantic Christian College and
the Wilson County Technical
Institute are jointly sponsoring
the exhibit which may be seen
through Jan. 28.
Well-known in the Wilson area,
fliroshiSeuyoshi, resident potter
at the Wilson County Technical
Institute, is exhibiting ceramics
exemplifying a technique that
involves using several clays
wedged together in layers, then
turned on the wheel. The clays
fire in swirls of various soft
colors. The colors are part of the
clay rather than painted on
glazes.
Dorothy Hitchcock, a native of
Wyoming, is a weaver at
Sampson Technical Institute, in
Clinton. Her woven hangings are
rich in color and texture and
extremely intricate and varied.
The artist controls her materials
masterfully to pr(xiuce beautiful
designs inspired by nature.
Nancy Tuttle May, artist-in-
residence at Pamlico Technical
Institute in Grantsboro,
concentrates on watercolor
studies of sand dunes and ocean
waves. Her works are small in
size with highly skilled and
sensitive brushwork. Several of
(he most recent paintings show
an interesting tendency toward
more subjective interpretations
of water.
Dudley Culp, a metalsmith
and artist-in-residence at
Catawba Valley Technical
Institute, Hickory, is
represented by three examples
of metalwork. They include a
free-form copper pot, a silver
goblet and a silver necklace.
Culp emphasizes smooth
glowing surfaces of the metal.
Where embellishment is used, it
is effectively contrasted with the
simplicity of a plain curved
surface.
Mark Lynch, visiting artist at
Nash Technical Institute, says of
his paintings, "They are sections
from larger canvases that I cut
down. I call them ‘wallpaper.’ "
Several of these heavily textured
canvases are seascapes with
real sand applied to the
foreground beach area. One of
Lynch’s creations looks like an
ordinary paper bag carelessly
left on a bench. A glance inside
will reveal that it is no ordinary
paper bag.
Diane Scoggins Hathbun,
artist-in-residence at Vance-
Granville Community College,
Henderson, is represented by
examples of commercial art,
including a handsome book
jacket, and by a series of close-
up photographs. The
photographs show hands
throwing a pot on a potter’s
wheel.
Brigitta Weyer, artist-in-
residence at Craven Community
College, New Bern, received her
training in West Germany. Her
paintings and drawings are
skilled, ultra-realistic works
with titles like, “Astronaut,”
and “Star-Struck.” They are
scenes of modern man preoc
cupied with his technology.
Dorothy Fornoff, visiting
potter at Central Carolina
Technical Institute, Sanford, is
represented by both wheel-
turned and handbuilt pieces
unusual in their austerity and
power. A group of inverted
paddle-shaped pots collectively
called “Night Storm,” have
large cracks that serve as part
of their design.
Eva Thaller, visiting painter
at Carteret County Technical
Institute, Morehead City, is
represented by a group of
watercolors and acrylic paint
ings of rural scenes. The
paintings are strong in design,
emphasizing geometric shapes
and straight lines. The acrylic,
“Cabin in the Woods,” is
especially appealing for its bold
design and atmosphere of
filtered light.
Gallery hours are: Monday
through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., and Saturdays, 1 to 3 p.m.
The public is invited. There is no
charge for admission.
Wiseman To

The distinguished
documentary film maker
Frederick Wiseman will appear
at A.C.C. Februarv- 13 as part of
a series entitled "Public Issues
and Human Values: Critical
Discussions of the Films of
P’rederick Wiseman.” After a
showing of his film “High
School,” Mr. Wiseman will
speak on the topic, "The Making
of a Documentary- P'ilm” The

Concert and Lecture Committee
and the English Department at

general discussion led by Dr. C.
Arden Miller, School of F’ublic
Health, UNC-Chapel Hill, and
Mr. Jim Pfohl, Personnel
Director, Wilson Memorial
Hospital. The film, which has
been described as “an
horrifically beautiful studyof life
in a metropolitan center of
succor and mercy" will be of
special interest to many student
and faculty members.
The other films and
discussions in the series arc
“The Role of Traditional
Religious Values in a Chaneine
Society,” featuring the film
“Essene,” January 29; “Human
Values and the Welfare

New Restaurant
As long as it takes to say, “1
want a veal and peppers with
mozzerella and a cold
Michelob,” students can now
stroll to pleasurable eating at
the Gold Park next to ACC. The
new restaurant, Rasino’s
features Italian cuisine.
If hot Ilaliansubs, home-made
spaghetti, or a thick pizza with a
mug of beer or a glass of wine
sounds good, then Rasino’s is the
place to go. Beginning hours will
be 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and
5:00p.m. to9:30p.m.
P'rederick Wiseman lias won
three Emmy Awards and has
been nominated for several
more. His films luve been shown
at festivals in Venice, Ediiv
burgh, Mannheim, Florence and
New York, in movie theatres and
on national television. He has
been lauded as an out
standing documentary talent by
nearly every major film critic in
thec(Xintry.
Wiseman’s formal
teckground in motion picture
production is sparse, which
probably accounts for his
refreshing unorthodoxy. In fact,
until 1%6, his cinematic en
deavors were somewhat a
hobby. A graduate of Yale Law
School and membt'r of (he
Massachusetts Bar, Wiseman
was a Lecturer in Law at Boston
University Law School and a
Research Associate at Brandeis
University.
Wiseman’s entry into film
making was inspired by a
dissatisfaction with Hollyw(H)d
fantasies. He wanted to use the

Wiseman’s films are ex

several weeks on location
filming events as they liap[x-n.
Nothing is staged, rehearsed or
re-shot. The editing takes
months of close work. The final
product, assembled to reflect a
true synopsis of the events and
situations witnessed during
filming, is neither ruirrated nor
explainiKi. I'niike conventional
documentary films, Wiseman's
productions leave the editorial
commentary to the viewer.
Wiseman's films have been
calk'd depressing, enjoyable,
controversial, gripping and
ridiculous; and Cary Arnold of
the Washington Post has called
them, "the most urgent, in
telligent and s(K'ially significant
American documentaries of the
decade"
