Exhibits
Visitors to the current “Depth of Field” exhibit, on display through Aug. 14 in the Diversity Studies Room at Pattee Library, can view an unfiltered look at war photography and assess its impact on audiences. Using Penn State Reads’ 2017-18 book, “It’s What I Do: A Photographer’s Life of Love and War” by Lynsey Addario, as a starting point, the exhibit seeks to highlight the intersections of the history of war in the Middle East with the history of war photography and how visual literacy plays a role in how we interpret and understand those intersections.
Throughout the exhibit, visitors will learn more about female war photographers and photography covering the Middle East over the past two decades, and explore the interplay between text and image. While conflict photography continues to bring attention to issues around the world, there has been a shift in the imagery from action shots to everyday life in recent war photography.
“‘Depth of Field’ creates space for viewers to become what [philosopher Jacques] Ranciere calls ‘the emancipated spectator,’” said Rachel White, University Libraries information services manager and co-curator of the exhibit. “The creator of the artwork presents material in such a way that the viewer has to literally pause in order to digest everything that is going on within the image. The viewer learns to ask questions and not blindly stare at a photograph.” White, with Hailley Fargo, student engagement librarian, worked together to co-curate the exhibition with organizational oversight by Christina Coyle, exhibit coordinator.
Addario’s memoir, as mirrored throughout the exhibition, interweaves themes of gender roles, photographic truths, and cultural and political ideologies, while exploring the many complicated facets of war. The viewer is encouraged to play an active role in the production, consumption and transformation of culture and to become the interpreter of what they see.
Part of the exhibit focuses on brief snapshots of Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq using library resources to tell these stories. Paired with these resources will be photography by visual arts faculty member Keith Shapiro, whose photographs document scenes of daily life he encountered during his travels to Syria in the 1990s.
The exhibit also sheds light on some of the female photographers that have made their mark on the profession. Finally, through iPad Pro kiosks, exhibit interactive elements — garnered from the University Libraries’ rich collection of multimedia resources — allow viewers to see how people, both foreign and native, are documenting events occurring in the Middle East today.
“Depth of Field” is open to viewing in the Diversity Studies Room, second floor central Pattee Library, during regular hours of operation. Persons with disabilities who anticipate needing accommodations or who have questions about physical access may contact Rachel White at rhw135@psu.edu or 814-865-5429.
Please join us for the annual Art Alliance Student & Instructor Show at Rhoneymeade. This wonderful exhibition features artwork by students and instructors at the Art Alliance from the past year. There will be a public closing reception on Sunday, June 3, at 2:00 pm.

Artist statement: Crocheting with Wire and Beads has provided an awesome artistic journey for me. I took a Crochet with Wire and Beads class four years ago at the annual Pittsburgh Creative Arts Festival. Well, the process captured my imagination. Since then, I have used the technique to design my own necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
I love recycling semi-precious stone beads and vintage beads from necklaces I find at thrift stores, flea markets and consignment shops. I use these found treasures in my pieces. I also incorporate pendants in my necklaces that I enhance with wire weaving.
These days, when I am not teaching clinicians how to use software, I spend a lot of my free time creating and designing. Now, I teach Crochet with Wire and Beads at several Pittsburgh venues including the Pittsburgh Creative Arts Festival, the Society for Contemporary Craft and the East Suburban Art League. When I teach I encourage my students to use their imagination and come up with their own color schemes. The results are incredible."

“I feel blessed to live in such a beautiful area, surrounded by mountains to explore, streams and rivers to fish, and an abundant source of inspiring landscape to paint. I hope to interpret my work, for others, that which moves me when I view the land.”Natural elements, such as the soothing sound of a waterfall, the smell of a field of freshly baled hay, or the feel of a rocky climb, trigger Jeanne McKinney’s desire to capture their spirit in a painted image. By working directly outdoors, she not only paints the landscape, but becomes a real part of the landscape thus allowing her to express a more authentic and honest interpretation. McKinney begins her artistic process by developing several studies followed by a gestural drawing in nupastel with a turpenoid wash. A variety of soft pastels are applied loosely over the under paintings working from the general to the specific. She often works with a limited palette of pastels to bring cohesiveness to a painting. Jeanne McKinney is a Penn State alumna and currently resides in the State College area. She is a member of several local and national professional artist groups and has studied painting workshops with numerous Juried Associate Members of the Pastel Society of America. McKinney has exhibited her paintings in juried national and regional exhibitions, and her work can be found locally at The State College Framing Company and Gallery, The Green Drake Gallery and Arts Center, and the Gallery Shop in Lemont, Pennsylvania.
