The Neverland Rancheros are tougher than Ratt, more seductive than Tom Jones, prettier than Elvis and catch massive sonic waves like Dick Dale. They take no prisoners, are not afraid of the dark and will not RSVP for your birthday party however they will show up and drink all the soda and not even bring you a present.

Lois Images

Whimsical photo manipulations by Lois Bravo. Lois creates her art images by taking a photograph, using Photoshop CS2 to liquefy the colors, and then re-forming the colors into a unique and different “Lois Image” that has no resemblance whatsoever to the original photo except for the colors, which are usually vivid, intense, and stimulating. The images are surrealistic and primitive in style. They seem to exhibit a startling, dreamlike supernatural quality, an altered awareness that is sometimes subtle, sometime obvious.

Private Soldiers: A Year in Iraq with a Wisconsin National Guard Unit

This exhibit honors Wisconsin's participants in the Iraq War and helps viewers understand the conflict's human side. "Private Soldiers" is an exhibit version of a Wisconsin Historical Society Press book of the same name. The exhibit showcases photographs and text provided by three members of the Wisconsin Army National Guard's 2-127th Infantry Battalion. This compelling firsthand documentation chronicles the battalion's yearlong deployment from the unique perspective of the soldiers themselves. Through the candid prose of Capt. Benjamin Buchholz and the vivid camera work of Lt. Nathan Olson and Staff Sgt. Joseph Streeter, "Private Soldiers" captures the experiences of these citizen soldiers from training and deployment to their unique mission to their return to homes, jobs, and families. Their mission took them into the most dangerous regions of Iraq, where they withstood hundreds of attacks, saw dozens wounded, and lost three members killed in action.

Art Faculty Show

Lia Johnson and Scott Robertson are this fall's featured faculty artists. Johnson's doctoral thesis in curriculum and instruction tracked belief change using narratives and text analysis. This thesis informs her art, which is conceptual and consists mostly of sculpture created from mixed media — rubber, metals, fibers, found objects and text. Johnson is inspired by an interest in the materials and the stories embodied in them. She uses these materials in an intentional way to express some rudimentary and universal emotions. Robertson has created a series of six ink drawings for the exhibit. The subject of the series is the interplay between structure and the organic elements. Robertson's approach to this series is similar to automatic surrealism, in which the artist begins with a mark and then lets the drawing instrument be guided by his or her subconscious. He begins with very limited marks and intricate cross-hatching that are often closely related and continuously repeated, creating a pattern. The patterns are all based on inspirations from nature.

Fabuloso!!! Loved the break-dancers, hula-hoopers, happy crowd; Irie Sol was great! Could we have TWO concerts per week in the Phark next summer?

Really amazing show!!! Too bad there were only about 15 people there! All three bands were solid, and I hope to have them in Eau Claire again!
