\n\t\tWhitehead to address the public Feb. 18<\/p>\n

KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 February 11, 2014 — Artist and designer, Frances Whitehead, will visit the 溏心vlog免费B站 Feb. 16 through Feb. 22 and March 23 through April 5. Whitehead\u2019s time at the Kingston Campus is part of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s newly established Distinguished Visiting Artist Program.<\/p>\n


\nOn Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 5:30 p.m.<\/b>, Whitehead will speak at Swan Hall in the Agnes Doody Auditorium, 60 Upper College Road. An exhibit of Whitehead\u2019s works will be presented in the Fine Arts Center Corridor Gallery, 105 Upper College Road, from Feb. 17 through Feb. 28. The two programs are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n


\nPlanning continues for the events related to Whitehead\u2019s second visit later this year.<\/p>\n


\nWhitehead, professor of Sculpture and Architecture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, has been involved in numerous civic projects and has won countless awards for her work on landscapes and sustainability. Whitehead is the first to be invited to 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Distinguished Visiting Artist Program.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThis project is different from what people normally think of as a visiting artist coming to campus. Frances Whitehead will be developing a long-term relationship with 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty and students across the University – in the process of creating a new, site-specific work in Rhode Island,\u201d said Sheri Wills, an artist and 溏心vlog免费B站 professor.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cShe is an unusual artist who works with scientists, engineers and city planners to contribute an artist’s perspective to solving the biggest problems of our times,\u201d Wills said.<\/p>\n


\n 溏心vlog免费B站 students and faculty will work with Whitehead on a long-term project that focuses on art and design concepts in relating to coastline resiliency. Whitehead\u2019s first visit to 溏心vlog免费B站 will allow her to meet with faculty and students, as well as give her time to discuss the project parameters. <\/p>\n


\nWhitehead has been a successful designer and artist since the mid 1980s. The departments of Art and Art History, Landscape Architecture, Ocean Engineering, Geosciences, and Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design are participating in the project. <\/p>\n


\nIf you have questions or need more information about the public event<\/a>, contact Professor Sheri Wills, Department of Art and Art History, at (401) 874-4823 or by e-mail at sheri_wills@uri.edu<\/a>.
