While the Giant Jumbo Cookie
idea has been tried In other areas of
the country, this was the first time
something like this came to North

almost two years now, and the staff
and management decided to give It a
try,” commented Mary Maxwell,
Manager of the retail operation, "It’s
for MDA and fun besides, If we can
sun/lve Valentine's two years
njnning, we can do an]^hlngl"
Another unique feature of this
project was to have Mall and Plaza
fT«rchants of North Hills sponsor cer
tain portions of the cookie. For every
merchant contributing to MDA, The

merchants contributed.
With the phenomenal response
from the merchants,” Sandy Mut-
chler, the Assistant N^nager said, “it
looks like we are going to raise two to
three times more money for MDA than
anyone else has, with the Giant
Jumbo Cocrifie Idea. We're going for
it!"

WHITNEY GALLERY TO OPEN
by Beth Blankenship
If you like folk art and sculpture
or geometric fomis and abstractions,
you don’t have to go to a number of
different art galleries or museums to
see these different types of art. ITie
North Carolina Museum of Art now
has the exhibition “American Art
Since 1970: Painting, Sculpture and
Drawings from the ^llection of the
Whitney Museum of American Art.”
The. exhibition opened Sept. 29
and runs through Nov. 25. The collec
tion represents some of the most
significant artists and trends of the
past 14 years.
The show has 45 works ranging
_ from the tquphlng PhllMp, Qustom
l^nting Ca6W to the tx)ld Intricacy
of the African-Inspired sculpture
Bravo by Lynda Benglls.
Some of the more interesting
works include James Surls’ wood
can/lng, “Me and the Butcher Knl>^.”
This oak and mahogony sculpture.
101 X 37 x 39 inches Isa good example
of well-structured, surrealistic de
sign. Ths gives the spectator a feeling
of being able to have a mental conver
sation with the work on ah uncon
scious level.
Ed Paschke's VIolencIa is a
colorful oil on canvas, 74 x 96 inches,
that relates both conceptually and
technically to televlsi(»i and elec
tronic visual media. Paschke's
painting gives the viewer a sense of
depth while conveying the fact that
the artist Is dealing with a totally flat
surface.
Lines to Points on a Grid: 24
Lines from the Center of the Wall, 12
Lines from the Midpoint of Each Side,
12 Lines from Each Comer by Sol
LeWitt is composed of wfhite crayon
lines against a pencil grid on a black
painted wall. The worlts shows a fonri
of geometrical art that is actually
drawn on the wall according to the ar
tists Instructions instead of being
created on a separate canvas.
In connection with “American Art
Since 1970” is a blowing of 12 works
by Roger Brown, who Is also featured
in the Whitney exhibition. Brown's
works depict human existence and
events with tiny cartoon-llke ctiarac-
ters. His works offer realism with a
touch of humor.
