JUDITH K. BRODSKY “IRON HORSES,”<br />
LITHOGRAPH, 41 X 29 INCHES<br />
This print is one of a suite of 15 lithographs<br />
called “The Meadowlands Strike Back” in which<br />
Brodsky uses the industrial landscape of Northern<br />
New Jersey for an apocalyptic narrative. As the<br />
series progresses, everything starts to go wrong<br />
in the environment and eventually goes up in<br />
flames. A new Garden of Eden appears in the<br />
last image, but there is always evil in Paradise.<br />
The new evil are garbage bags falling from the<br />
sky, creating new garbage mountains. Brodsky is<br />
the founder of the Rutgers Center for Innovative<br />
Print and Paper, newly renamed the Brodsky Center<br />
in honor of her contributions to the print world.<br />

Appreciation to 1987 Design Workshop<br />
As promised, Tyler <strong>Gestures</strong> has undergone a<br />
major renovation, though the last design held<br />
up well for two decades.<br />
The 21st century required the addition of<br />
color photography throughout and a new<br />
editorial focus directed more towards alumni<br />
engagement. Tyler <strong>Gestures</strong> has taken on a<br />
new attitude while holding onto the most<br />
important qualities of an art school<br />
newsletter—the people and artwork.<br />
XX TYLER GESTURES WINTER 2006<br />
DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF TYLER,<br />
It has been my pleasure to complete my first<br />
year at the Tyler School of Art and I’m happy to<br />
report on some significant accomplishments and<br />
milestones. Though we continue to plan for the<br />
most advanced visual-arts facility in the region,<br />
there are more exciting developments at Tyler:<br />
• The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania decided to increase their<br />
commitment to our new building by an additional $6 million.<br />
• <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s new President, Ann Weaver Hart, decided<br />
that Tyler will continue to offer both digital and wet-lab<br />
photography, reversing a decision by a previous administration.<br />
• Substantial improvements have been made to the Elkins Park<br />
campus including repairing three roofs on buildings, adding<br />
additional lighting around campus, and increasing security.<br />
• The Architecture program passed a rigorous review and<br />
received accreditation renewal for the next six years. Lindsay<br />
Bremner, newly appointed chair for the architecture program,<br />
comes to us from South Africa.<br />
• Tyler had its biggest fundraising year ever, with more than<br />
$1.5 million added to our scholarship endowment alone.<br />
Kelli Cavanaugh, director of publications<br />
at Tyler, and Jennifer Davison and Scotty<br />
Reifsnyder, MFA students in graphic and<br />
interactive design, have worked diligently<br />
over the past five months to provide Tyler’s<br />
alumni and friends with a format that is<br />
artistic and straightforward for the reader.<br />
The design and editorial staff involved with<br />
the new layout of Tyler <strong>Gestures</strong> want to<br />
sincerely thank Frank Baseman, MFA ’83 and<br />
his design workshop students, who were the<br />
masterminds behind the creative design and<br />
production of the first issue in 1987.<br />
• Professor Sharyn O’Mara was appointed Interim Associate<br />
Dean and Claire Tillman was appointed Assistant Dean of<br />
Finance and Human Resources.<br />
• Six new tenure faculty appointments were made after<br />
extensive international searches, significantly expanding the<br />
cultural and international scope of the faculty.<br />
• Current faculty accomplishments include Pepón Osorio<br />
serving as a sole representative of the United States at the<br />
São Paulo Biennial and Tracy Cooper, a professor in the<br />
art history department, having her book Palladio’s Venice:<br />
Architecture and Society in a Renaissance Republic published.<br />
• We have a new academic coordinator, an additional member<br />
of the fundraising staff, additional clerical and (for the first<br />
time ever) technical staff for each department and an Internet<br />
services coordinator.<br />
All of the above developments are part of a plan for the School<br />
as it moves to a new location and evolves to meet the dramatic<br />
changes in the ways we study and create art.<br />
I’m looking forward to breaking ground this spring at the<br />
newly prepared site for the Tyler School of Art at 12th and<br />
Norris Streets in Philadelphia. I’m eager to hear from all of<br />
you about the plans for the future.<br />
Best wishes,<br />
Keith Morrison<br />
Dean, Tyler School of Art<br />
Baseman was the director of the original<br />
Tyler Design Workshop, essentially a<br />
publications office for Tyler, working on<br />
real-world projects to promote the school.<br />
<strong>Gestures</strong> won a gold medal from the Art<br />
Directors Club of Philadelphia, 52nd Annual<br />
Competition. Students contributing to the<br />
project were: Carol Baxter, Kirsten Engstrom,<br />
Peggy Sue Musser, Gary Peterson, Joo Sue,<br />
and Sang Yoon.<br />
The intention is that this new design will do<br />
the same justice for another twenty years.<br />

02 TYLER GESTURES WINTER 2006<br />
Education in the arts is a two-way street. Whether it is<br />
installing art in a North Philadelphia park or discovering<br />
ancient art in the deep caves of Greece, artistic practices need<br />
to be inner-twined with outside influences. The foundation<br />
of an education is not complete when it is experienced with<br />
walls on all four sides. Each program within the Tyler School<br />
of Art has made it a priority to reach outside of the classroom<br />
and engage students in conversations and situations a<br />
classroom environment cannot simulate.<br />
ARCHITECTURE<br />
The Philadelphia Urban Installation Initiative has been established<br />
through the Tyler School of Art Architecture program to<br />
create and encourage the practice of design and arts installation<br />
in the surrounding north Philadelphia community. The director,<br />
Dianna Nicholas, has been a lecturer in Tyler’s Architecture<br />
program for two years now.<br />
The Initiative has completed two projects in North Philadelphia.<br />
The fi rst project, entitled “A Path in The Village” was completed<br />
by the fi rst-year architecture students in collaboration<br />
with the Village of Arts and Humanities. The Village decided<br />
to restructure their main park and gathering space, Ile Ife Park.<br />
The students used their talents to assist with this process and<br />
designed tiles that would become the border to a more elaborate<br />
refurbishment of all the paths in the village.<br />
The second project was completed in North Philadelphia<br />
adjacent to the offi ces of Asociacion de Puertorriquenos en<br />
Marcha (APM), at 6th and Diamond Streets. In this location a<br />
group of architecture students designed and installed a twoweek<br />
temporary art piece entitled “The Element.” This piece<br />
was made up of a series of functionalities including places to<br />
sit, framing devices, and arches, all of which were intended<br />
to draw attention to the site itself as an outdoor community<br />
gathering place.
Since “The Element” was a<br />
temporary piece last year, this<br />
year it is Nicholas’s goal to install<br />
a permanent community project,<br />
“Dominoes on Seventh.” This project’s<br />
mission will be to create a space for the<br />
residents of this growing community to meet<br />
and play dominoes, a popular game within<br />
their neighborhood’s history. The inspiration<br />
for this project will be drawn from the rich<br />
diversity of the area.<br />
ART / ART EDUCATION<br />
Systemic change using a sustainable model<br />
of civic engagement is the philosophy behind<br />
the Cross-Disciplinary Arts in Community<br />
Program at the Tyler School<br />
of Art. Tyler is the fi rst program of<br />
this nature on the east coast, offering<br />
academic training in communitybased<br />
arts that is cross-disciplinary,<br />
partnership-driven and long-term.<br />
William Yalowitz and Pepón Osorio<br />
are the Tyler artists and art educators<br />
behind the execution<br />
of the program. The<br />
purpose of their work<br />
now is to provide Philadelphia<br />
youth with an<br />
opportunity to explore,<br />
through the arts, key<br />
issues of confl ict with<br />
Hanin Tarabiya,<br />
Oran Dessau, and<br />
Efrat Unguru in a<br />
scene from Six Actors<br />
in Search<br />
of a Plot.<br />
which their communities are confronted.<br />
First year student, Nina<br />
Gernesova, completes<br />
the installation of the<br />
path and the paver<br />
border at The Village of<br />
Arts and Humanities.<br />
Badge of Honor addresses a generational<br />
pattern of incarceration that has historically<br />
overwhelmed the predominantly Latino<br />
families of North Philadelphia. Typically seen<br />
as a personal issue rather than a community issue,<br />
it is extremely diffi cult for youth to break the cycle.<br />
An installation by Osorio will center on a video<br />
conversation between an incarcerated father and<br />
his son and will serve as source material for a larger<br />
initiative that works in close collaboration with<br />
the many constituent groups of the community to<br />
uncover individual stories and weave a collective<br />
narrative that recognizes this community crisis. A<br />
video and comic book/handbook will be created<br />
about the understanding of community<br />
cultural and racial diversity. Basic<br />
guidelines of legal rights and duties<br />
“ As architects, it is our<br />
charge to explore ways to<br />
improve the environment.<br />
As <strong>Temple</strong> students and<br />
faculty, we need to fi nd<br />
opportunities to engage<br />
with our community.“<br />
-DIANNA NICHOLAS<br />
The projects are designed to<br />
generate dialogues among youth<br />
on these issues and to engage<br />
them with in-depth community<br />
arts processes with professional<br />
artists, university students, and<br />
local community members, as they<br />
build arts and leadership skills.<br />
when stopped by the police will be outlined<br />
as well. These visual pieces will be<br />
distributed to middle and high schools.<br />
Pre-Occupations & Hyphe-nations is<br />
an international community arts project<br />
examining the Palestinian-Israeli confl ict<br />
and homeland insecurities through multiple<br />
lenses. The catalyst component for the project<br />
is Six Actors in Search of a Plot, a movementtheatre<br />
performance work co-produced by<br />
Peace Child Israel and <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s<br />
Tyler School of Art focusing on the confl ict.<br />
A series of public forums and workshops<br />
around the performance will bring together<br />
Arab-American and American-Jewish communities.<br />
The discussions and refl ections<br />
generated in these forums<br />
An installed view of<br />
the concrete pavers at will provide youth with a<br />
The Village of Arts and chance to explore their own<br />
Humanities. These pavers responses to the confl ict,<br />
were installed spurring the development<br />
as the border of a new<br />
of a new community arts<br />
path made of Ecopavers.<br />
performance. This movement-theater<br />
performance<br />
will serve to build artistic<br />
exchanges between Philadelphia<br />
high school students and<br />
Israeli/Palestinian high school<br />
students.<br />
A scene from Six<br />
Actors in Search of a<br />
Plot featuring midwife<br />
characters played by<br />
Israeli Liat Cohen, left,<br />
and Palestinian Ranin<br />
Bisharat.<br />
Other programs across the<br />
nation have a more shortterm,<br />
service-based approach<br />
to community change, while<br />
Tyler’s involvement will benefi t<br />
students long-term. Recognizing<br />
the ongoing work<br />
of the community partners<br />
and seeking to support and<br />
amplify their efforts in new<br />
and innovative ways are<br />
all part of the curriculum.<br />
An integration of the artmaking<br />
process with course<br />
work and collaborative work<br />
with the community, are all<br />
key components of the education<br />
a student will receive<br />
through this program.<br />

LO C AT I O N<br />
THE DIRECTION IS NORTH. In fall 2006, the <strong>Temple</strong> Gallery in<br />
Old City moved from Second and Market Streets to Third and<br />
Vine Streets. The move did not change the gallery’s focus on<br />
supporting innovative new work by emerging artists. To prove<br />
it, this winter is a lively and challenging season of exhibitions,<br />
lectures, and events to inaugurate the new space.<br />
The gallery occupies the fi rst fl oor of a renovated building,<br />
just around the corner from the neighboring Painted Bride<br />
Art Center. Director of exhibitions and public programs,<br />
Sheryl Conkelton, and exhibitions coordinator, Ellen Napier,<br />
are adamant about using the gallery as a space for artists,<br />
the <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>University</strong> community, and the public to come<br />
together to examine the most recent developments in<br />
contemporary visual arts and their relationship to broader<br />
cultural contexts.<br />
Says Conkelton, “One aspect of that mission is to provide<br />
opportunities for emerging curators and the younger<br />
artists they champion. This was the motivation behind the<br />
inaugural show in the new space, Empathetic, which is being<br />
organized by guest curator Elizabeth Thomas.” Featuring<br />
works by Paul Chan, Trisha Donnelly, Jesper Just, Kalup Linzy<br />
and others, Empathetic explores the complex operation of<br />
empathy—the ability to share the experience of another, to<br />
perceive and relate to another’s feelings and intentions. In<br />
this wide-ranging exhibition, which will feature drawings,<br />
installations, performances, video and sound installation,<br />
the artworks do not always directly present or depict<br />
empathetic situations, but offer gallery visitors means of<br />
exploring their own responses to engaging narratives, iconic<br />
images and emotional situations. A range of programs, from<br />
artists’ performances and lectures to in-gallery tours and<br />
participatory projects, will accompany the show, which runs<br />
from November 4, 2006 through February 24, 20<strong>07</strong>.<br />
“We design the <strong>Temple</strong> Gallery<br />
programs to contribute to<br />
the intellectual liveliness<br />
of the artistic community<br />
in Philadelphia and the<br />
region, and to have a national<br />
impact as a forum for artistic<br />
debate. We want to engage<br />
signifi cant issues related<br />
to artistic practices and the<br />
presentation of contemporary<br />
art, and we hope that<br />
students, alumni, artists and<br />
audiences will feel at home<br />
at the Gallery and will be<br />
energized by what we do.”<br />
– SHERYL CONKELTON,<br />
DIRECTOR OF EXHIBITIONS<br />
AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS<br />
During the upcoming year, an important goal for the<br />
development and alumni affairs offi ce is to see <strong>Temple</strong><br />
Gallery well-used as a place for alumni to reconnect with<br />
each other through the art on view and the programs that<br />
accompany each exhibition. Organized tours and receptions<br />
will be held throughout the year with the intention of<br />
providing opportunities for this kind of educational and social<br />
engagement. If you have an interest in donating to the public<br />
exhibitions programs or participating in a group alumni tour,<br />
please contact Greg Murphy at 215.204.2363.<br />

A Creativity Midwife<br />
Tyler <strong>Gestures</strong> is truly a means of bringing<br />
alumni together and, in some cases, actually<br />
facilitating the artistic process, as exemplified by<br />
a collaborative project between ARLA PATCH,<br />
BFA ’72 and Kelli Cavanaugh, BFA ’94. Arla first<br />
learned about Tyler’s award-winning catalog<br />
through Tyler <strong>Gestures</strong>. As a result, she contacted<br />
Tyler in search of a student to assist in her latest project.<br />
Cavanaugh spoke with Arla about her ideas, liked the concept<br />
of Arla’s book, A Body Story, and offered to assist Arla on the<br />
design concept for the book.<br />
The book itself is a photographic exploration that combines<br />
imagery, body movement, and language to tell a passionate<br />
story of awakening and transformation. Arla first photographed<br />
slides of nature, which she took into the studio and projected<br />
A Body Story is a collection of images and truths that<br />
capture the spirit of a woman in her most fertile period<br />
of creativity. - S. EPATHA MERKERSON, ACTRESS<br />
onto black velvet to help absorb the image. She then stood in<br />
front of the image with a full-length mirror next to the camera<br />
and moved with the images. It was the physical “dance”<br />
that enabled her to interact, embrace, and connect with the<br />
images. A Body Story was published in 2005. The book went<br />
on to be nominated for Outstanding Book of the Year by the<br />

Arla studied at the Tyler School of Art where she earned<br />
a BFA in 1972, majoring in sculpture and gaining teacher<br />
certification. In 1974, she completed her MFA in sculpture<br />
at Indiana <strong>University</strong>. For over thirty years, she has been<br />
teaching in both the public and private sectors, including<br />
instructing students in her home in Western Maine where<br />
she leads retreats and workshops using art as a tool for<br />
self-discovery and healing.<br />
A Body Story is Arla’s first book and she has generously<br />
offered to use it as a fundraising piece for the new Tyler<br />
building on main campus. For every book sold to an<br />
alumnus, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to<br />
the building fund and, in return, the buyer will receive a<br />
personally inscribed copy of A Body Story. Please refer to<br />
Arla’s Web site www.arlapatch.com or contact her directly<br />
for a copy. Arla’s next book will be entitled Second Skin.<br />
It is about the transformational power of body casting<br />
sculpture inspired by her own healing experiences, her<br />
work with breast cancer patients, as well as her work<br />
with formerly incarcerated women.<br />

A Tyler Pioneer<br />
JANE BONELLI, MEd ’65 received her BFA from<br />
the <strong>University</strong> of the Arts where she was a parttime<br />
lecturer for five years. She began teaching<br />
at Tyler in the late 1950s while at the same time<br />
pursuing her masters in art education. In 1960,<br />
Bonelli was hired as the<br />
first female tenure-track<br />
professor in Tyler’s history.<br />
Though Bonelli retired from teaching<br />
in 1992, she has remained active with<br />
Tyler. She served on the Tyler School<br />
of Art Alumni Association Board for<br />
many years. She was a recipient of<br />
the 1994 <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>University</strong> Alumni<br />
Association Certificate of Honor<br />
Award for the distinguished work she<br />
accomplished in her field. In 1997, an<br />
endowed fund was established in her<br />
honor to provide for an award to an outstanding student in<br />
art education studies or student teaching performance. Bonelli<br />
has also been recognized as a member of <strong>Temple</strong>’s Acres of<br />
Diamonds Circle.<br />
Rochelle Toner, dean emeritus of Tyler, worked closely with<br />
Jane during her tenure. “For many years, Jane Bonelli was art<br />
education at Tyler School of Art. As the founding director of<br />
Tyler’s art education program, Jane had an enormous impact<br />
on the teaching of art in the Philadelphia region. A significant<br />

number of the students she taught went on to head up the<br />
most important K-12 art education programs in the region.<br />
All of us who love Tyler appreciate Jane Bonelli’s contribution<br />
to this very real chain of arts education.”<br />
Jane’s late husband, Harry Bonelli, was<br />
the Director of Art Education for the<br />
School District of Philadelphia. In 1974,<br />
when Bonelli became chair of the art<br />
education department, she used her<br />
public school experience to create a<br />
requirement that her students take a<br />
practicum in both the private and public<br />
realms. This duality enabled the students<br />
to obtain a well-rounded education<br />
of many classroom scenarios and to<br />
be better prepared for teaching upon<br />
graduation. Bonelli explains, “The inner<br />
city was where the jobs were available<br />
and where good students were needed and getting hired.<br />
Despite this reality, the students were only being trained in<br />
private, suburban classrooms.”<br />
The energy and enthusiasm that springs from young art<br />
students are the main reasons Bonelli stays dedicated to<br />
Tyler. Her own experience as both an art educator and a<br />
painter simultaneously has allowed Bonelli the opportunity to<br />
empathize with students struggling to pursue their art while<br />
at the same time making ends meet. As a donor, Bonelli hopes<br />
to make the financial struggle less strenuous for students.<br />
Two of Tyler’s own were honored. The country’s leading figures in<br />
the field of contemporary crafts, metal sculptor Albert Paley, and<br />
Helen Williams Drutt English, formerly executive director of the<br />
Philadelphia Council of Professional Craftsmen, were recognized<br />

Achievement in American Craft.<br />

THE PROJECT: An inspiring new home<br />
on Main Campus for the Tyler School<br />
of Art, relocating from Elkins Park. The<br />
new facility will increase teaching and<br />
creative spaces by 40 percent, provide<br />
welcoming ground-fl oor exhibition areas<br />
and common areas for creative dialogue,<br />
as well as offer students and faculty<br />
access to new technology.<br />
TIMELINE: Groundbreaking will occur<br />
in the spring of 20<strong>07</strong> and the building is<br />
scheduled to be complete in the fall of<br />
2008 before the year’s classes begin.<br />
PRIVATE SUPPORT: For Tyler to achieve<br />
its full potential as a top national art<br />
school, it needs private support. Consider<br />
making a commitment to support<br />
construction of this $78.5 million dollar<br />
home for Tyler School of Art students.<br />

temple update<br />
A New President in the Midst<br />
���<br />
Tyler School of Art is fresh with possibilities as<br />
a new president, Ann Weaver Hart, begins her<br />
legacy. Hart was elected as the ninth president<br />
of <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>University</strong> and is the fi rst woman ever<br />
to serve in this role. Hart left the <strong>University</strong> of<br />
New Hampshire, where she served as president<br />
for four years.<br />
Her accomplishments at New Hampshire were numerous<br />
including attracting more than $100 million in outside<br />
research funding and a $38 million dollar grant from NASA.<br />
Hart dramatically improved university-state and universitytown<br />
relationships. She implemented a plan to increase<br />
diversity, helped faculty develop business spin-offs from their<br />
research, improved technology transfer, and organized private<br />
fundraising to support all these new initiatives.<br />
Hart will inherit a university that is in the process of recruiting<br />
more than 300 tenured and tenure-track faculty members and<br />
conducting a $400 million dollar construction program.<br />

Hart reponds to the challenge, “My life was transformed by<br />
having access to a fi rst-rate education at a great urban public<br />
university. <strong>Temple</strong> has that very same transformative power,<br />
and I embrace it.”<br />
“Having our musicians, artists, and<br />
performers together is going to provide<br />
an energy and inspiration for everyone<br />
involved in the arts at <strong>Temple</strong>.”<br />
“It’s a very exciting time to be a student at Tyler. In part<br />
because a promised and anticipated move that we have<br />
considered for 20 years is fi nally coming to fruition. The<br />
fi ne and performing arts provide an expression of the<br />
human spirit.”<br />
Hart has been breaking ground every step of her career<br />
and as the Tyler School of Art breaks ground this January,<br />
Ann Weaver Hart will be at the forefront.<br />
Tyler School of Art and <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
have received record support from its<br />
faculty and staff as part of the 2006<br />
Together for <strong>Temple</strong> campaign. The total<br />
amount of gifts and pledges for the<br />
fi scal year ending in July was $3.7 million<br />
dollars from 1,8<strong>07</strong> faculty/staff donors.<br />
This yields more than $7.5 million total<br />
dollars from employees over the course<br />
of the comprehensive campaign which<br />
started in July 2002.<br />
Response from Tyler’s faculty and staff has<br />
been particularly impressive with records<br />
of $23,990 from 60 faculty/staff donors<br />
towards scholarships, faculty, facilities,<br />
research, and the community. The<br />
participation levels and donations were<br />
up signifi cantly from the year before and<br />
are expected to continue to rise as the<br />
message of investing in Tyler is dispersed<br />
around campus.<br />
The faculty/staff committee consists of<br />
70 leadership members: one faculty<br />
member and one staff member from each<br />
school. Carmina Cianculli, assistant dean<br />
of admissions, and Rochelle Toner, dean<br />
emeritus, have served diligently as Tyler<br />
School of Art’s faculty/staff committee<br />
representatives this past year.<br />
To be able to approach donors,<br />
corporations, and foundations with an<br />
impressive faculty/staff giving percentage<br />
is a powerful persuading point. “We are<br />
thrilled with this response,” says Stuart<br />
Sullivan, vice president for development<br />
and alumni affairs, “This is a tremendous<br />
start for the faculty and staff campaign.”<br />

Great Teacher Awards:<br />
Two Tyler Faculty Honored<br />
As a painter, Stanley Whitney ordinarily communicates his<br />
thoughts and ideas through vivid brush strokes. But for 32<br />
years, he has shown equal skill with a different kind of canvas<br />
— the students. “As an artist, I am eternally silent, so in the<br />
classroom, I get a chance to be creative through my lesson<br />
plans,” Whitney said.<br />
Whitney is a professor in the painting, drawing and sculpture<br />
department at the Tyler School of Art. His unique ability to<br />
captivate and educate art students, residents and fellows<br />
alike has earned him a 2006 <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>University</strong> Great<br />
Teacher Award.<br />
“Stanley has motivated me and countless other students<br />
to pursue art consciously, intellectually, politically and<br />
critically,” a former Tyler student said. “He never lets a<br />
student slip through a course casually and requires a rigorous<br />
thoughtfulness from both the students who are struggling<br />
and those who are not.”<br />
Whitney earned his bachelor’s degree in fine art from the<br />
Kansas City Art Institute and his master’s degree from Yale<br />
<strong>University</strong>. He came to <strong>Temple</strong> in 1973 from a teaching<br />
position at the <strong>University</strong> of Rhode Island. According to his<br />
students, his honest critiques have gained him respect as an<br />
educator while also keeping many in fearful anticipation of<br />
his opinion. “He has the ability to rip you to shreds with one<br />
phrase and leave you in the studio with the aftermath. But if<br />
it wouldn’t have been for his candidness, I would not be the<br />
artist I am today.”<br />
“For me, teaching has its<br />
rewards in knowing that I’m<br />
talking to young people who will<br />
be the future of the art world,”<br />
Whitney said proudly. “Having<br />
input into the future gives<br />
me a chance to make a real<br />
mark on the art profession in a<br />
different way than I can with my<br />
paintings.” - STANLEY WHITNEY<br />
“I love watching students grow<br />
intellectually. And I truly<br />
like teaching entry-level,<br />
introductory courses, so I can<br />
enable students to see the<br />
potentials of art and of history<br />
and share my enthusiasm for<br />
the subject matter.”<br />
- DR. THERESE DOLAN<br />
Dr. Therese Dolan herself acknowledges her own deep-rooted<br />
drive to learn, accompanied by a passion for teaching. At age<br />
four, she ran away—to school, following her older sister to<br />
her kindergarten class “because I wanted to be in school and<br />
learn new things.”<br />
The results of a Kuder Preference Test she took in high school<br />
suggested she was best suited for a career as a stand-up<br />
comedian, and while her lectures are peppered with humor,<br />
she cannot remember ever wanting to do anything but teach.<br />
“The first question on that Kuder Preference Test in high<br />
school was ‘Which would you prefer to do? 1) Read a book,<br />
2) Listen to music or 3) Visit an art museum’ and I puzzled<br />
over my response because I wanted to do all three.” Teaching<br />
has been the perfect profession that has allowed me to do<br />
all of them.<br />
The opportunity to work as a governess in Rome for a year<br />
opened her eyes to the worlds of both art and history. “I<br />
taught myself Rome, took Italian classes and traveled all over<br />
Europe,” she recalled. “I was hooked. When I came back, I<br />
began studying art history at Bryn Mawr.” She earned both<br />
her master’s and doctoral degrees and joined the art history<br />
faculty at <strong>Temple</strong>’s Tyler School of Art in 1981. And the rest,<br />
as they say, is (art) history!<br />
“She is a passionate and innovative scholar … a dedicated<br />
teacher and an incredibly engaging communicator [who]<br />
brings the study of art alive for her students,” wrote a<br />
former student and colleague. “She pushes her students to<br />
move beyond reactionary opinion and become independent<br />
thinkers.”<br />
Even after decades at the front of a classroom, she confesses<br />
to still feeling nervous before every lecture. “The truth is I<br />
barely sleep at all the night before the first day of the new<br />
semester. I’m that anxious to teach and learn. And to do my<br />
best.” And clearly, she has. On April 11, Dolan received a<br />
2006 Great Teacher Award.<br />

Destination: Marfa,TX<br />
Twenty-one students in the painting, drawing and sculpture<br />
(PDS) MFA programs ventured to Marfa, Texas, for four<br />
days in May this past summer. Marfa is hometown to the<br />
Chinati Foundation, a contemporary art museum based<br />
upon the ideas of its founder, Donald Judd. The specific<br />
intention of Chinati is to preserve and present permanent<br />
large-scale installations to the general public. The emphasis<br />
is on works in which art and the surrounding landscapes<br />
are inextricably linked.<br />
The Chinati Foundation is located on 340 acres of land on<br />
the site of former Fort D.A. Russell in Marfa. Construction<br />
and installation at the site began in 1979 and opened to<br />
the public in 1986 as an independent, non–profit, publicly<br />
funded institution. Chinati was originally conceived to exhibit<br />
the work of Donald Judd, John Chamberlain and Dan Flavin,<br />
but has since grown to include other artists.<br />
Erin Arnold, Sarah Kohn, Joe Protheroe, Meaghan Bates in<br />
front of a Dan Flavin installation at the Chinati Foundation.<br />
Margo Margolis, chair of the PDS department, organized<br />
the venture to Marfa. Margo stated, “Although this work<br />
is familiar to artists and art students, you feel like you are<br />
seeing it for the first time because the work is in its intended<br />
context—the integration of art, architecture, landscape and<br />
light. These pieces take on a complexity never represented<br />
in most installations and reproductions.” Three other faculty<br />
attended: Frank Bramblett, Winifred Lutz, and Jude Tallichet,<br />
along with the director of exhibitions and public programs,<br />
Sheryl Conkelton.<br />

Student Response: Maria Walker<br />
“The Marfa trip certainly offered us experiences we could<br />
never have from the home base of Philadelphia, and expanded<br />
our notions of what it is to be an artist in profound ways. As<br />
artists, it is extremely important to go out into the world and<br />
see as much as possible, both in relation to art itself and to<br />
expand our daily visual experience. The landscape of that area<br />
of Texas, the installation of the Judd pieces in that landscape,<br />
the difference of space, time, light, and color, inspire and<br />
challenge my thoughts of my own studio practice.<br />
“If the aim of graduate school<br />
is to open up and challenge<br />
our understanding and vision<br />
of what it is to be an artist,<br />
then the Marfa trip remains<br />
invaluable.”<br />
- MARIA WALKER,<br />
GRADUATE STUDENT<br />
The Chinati Foundation<br />
was a specific vision<br />
for Donald Judd. It was<br />
great to see the full<br />
expanse of that vision,<br />
from the organization of<br />
the Foundation to the<br />
installation of the pieces.<br />
Living so close to the New<br />
York art world, it is easy<br />
to limit one’s notion of art<br />
to the white gallery space.<br />
It was also invaluable to<br />
take a trip like that with my fellow graduate students. The<br />
excursion helped us bond outside the structure of school and<br />
to acknowledge our relationships as a community of artists.<br />
This community is very important since it will be, for most of<br />
us, the foundation of our futures as professional artists.”<br />
Student Response: Sarah Kohn<br />
Students and faculty at Marfa, Texas<br />
this past May.<br />
“It was interesting to see how much the presence of art can<br />
completely change a town. Everything from the population to<br />
the industry to the economy was changed because of Donald<br />
Judd’s determined fixation of the town of Marfa. The cultural<br />
and social impact that art can facilitate is made especially clear<br />
in the microcosm that is Marfa.<br />
We spent time in the actual town of Marfa touring the various<br />
foundations and attractions and then traveled to a natural hot<br />
spring. Ultimately the best part of the trip was being able to<br />
spend time with my peers, running around and exploring a<br />
very strange place at the end of the year. I remember talking<br />
to a few people about how nice it was that our relationships<br />
with each other over the course of the four days were moved<br />
in such a positive direction. I feel fortunate to have been able<br />
to go to Marfa and I am leaving Tyler with an especially warm<br />
feeling for the whole department.”

Tyler’s 2006<br />
Graduation Ceremony<br />
The graduation ceremony was held on Thursday, May 18, 2006.<br />
Hundreds of people eager for celebration gathered on the lawn<br />
in front of Tyler Hall to watch the Class of 2006 receive their<br />
diplomas.<br />
Tyler’s Dean, Keith Morrison, gave the keynote address.<br />
As a distinguished artist, art educator, curator, art critic and<br />
administrator, his background covers most of the student’s<br />
interest areas. He spoke of growing up in Jamaica and wanting<br />
to study art, but<br />
“A A C A R E E R PAT H<br />
F O R A N A R T I S T I S<br />
U N P R E D I C TA B L E A N D<br />
A D V E N T U R O U S.”<br />
- K E I T H M O R R I S O N<br />
never thinking past<br />
studying art to<br />
pursuing a career in<br />
art. He fi gured he<br />
would simply head<br />
back to Jamaica and<br />
load bananas onto<br />
boats at the docks.<br />
A career path for an<br />
artist is unpredictable<br />
and adventurous.<br />
Two seniors were nominated as student speakers and<br />
happened to have a history of being college sweethearts. Julia<br />
Davis graduated summa cum laude with a BFA in graphic and<br />
interactive design and Bill Melone graduated with a BFA in<br />
painting and art history. They met and became friends while<br />
Graduation speakers, Bill Melone,<br />
BFA ’06 and Julia Davis, BFA ’06.<br />
Jessica Preston, BFA ’06, left, and her friend.<br />
living in the dorms and through their involvement in the<br />
Bible study, Tyler Christian Fellowship. They were married on<br />
October 8, 2006 in Leola, Pennsylvania.<br />
Melone remarked, “One of many things I learned during my<br />
time at Tyler is that you don’t need to create art or live a life or<br />
say a saying that absolutely defi es categorization and is totally<br />
original. Take a cliché—something simple, known, perhaps<br />
obvious, and add a new inch to it. You don’t need to jump ten<br />
feet, you only need to jump an inch. You don’t stay with the<br />
cliché but you add what you have to it.”<br />
Davis continued, “Being an artist means that I have been<br />
gifted with talents, and Tyler was a specifi c opportunity to<br />
grow those talents. In the process of making art, we ourselves<br />
are part of a larger process. We are living out these verbs of<br />
creation, building visual worlds for ourselves while carrying this<br />
responsibility of building into the bigger world around us.”<br />
Following graduation, hundreds of students, parents, alumni,<br />
faculty and friends gathered for a yearly tradition in Penrose<br />
Hall. As part of the admissions requirements, each student<br />
must create a self-portrait upon entering Tyler as a freshman<br />
and then these same masterpieces re-emerge upon their<br />
graduation.<br />

alumni association president’s message<br />
DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF TYLER,<br />
I am honored to take over the role of<br />
president for the Tyler School of Art Alumni<br />
Association after Nancy McDonald served<br />
diligently for fi ve years. I graduated from Tyler<br />
in 1982 as a ceramics/glass major. The Tyler<br />
faculty, departmental programs, and facilities<br />
created an educational community that fostered a magnetic<br />
vitality that has stayed with me since I graduated.<br />
Currently, I am a studio artist, where I use both glass and metal<br />
in my work. I teach my craft at area art centers to adults, teens,<br />
and youth at risk. My husband, Jon Clark, is a professor in the<br />
glass department at Tyler and we reside in the Elkins Park area.<br />
I encourage you to attend the events and visit Tyler’s campus,<br />
especially in this time of educational advancement as we plan<br />
ahead for our re-location to Philadelphia. I know you will fi nd<br />
yourself inspired and proud to be a graduate of Tyler. With<br />
your dedication and support for Tyler, the Alumni Association<br />
Board can continue to create more opportunities for alumni<br />
engagement.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Patti Dougherty<br />
President, Tyler School of Art Alumni Association<br />

VICTORY FOR TYLER<br />
Alumni Exhibition Series:<br />
Painting 20<strong>07</strong><br />
The inaugural alumni exhibition held in March of 2005<br />
attracted over 300 people during the course of its<br />
one month debut. The phenomenal attendance rate<br />
and positive feedback from alumni have inspired the<br />
board to host another alumni exhibition. This April, the<br />
biennial alumni exhibition, “Victory for Tyler,” will be<br />
open to the general public at the Ice Box Project Space<br />
on 1400 North American Street in Philadelphia.<br />
“Victory for Tyler” is a chance to re-connect, educate,<br />
and engage Tyler alumni—a primary aim of the Alumni<br />
Association’s mission. The goal of the exhibition will<br />
be to raise fi nancial support for Tyler’s Exhibitions and<br />
Public Programs.<br />
While there will be future exhibitions in every medium,<br />
this year’s exhibition is painting and all Tyler alumni were<br />
invited to submit work. All submissions will be juried by<br />
Jenelle Porter, associate curator, ICA, Philadelphia. There<br />
will be a price list at the event and a portion of the<br />
proceeds from the pieces sold will be donated to Tyler.<br />
A juror’s prize of $1,000 will also be awarded.<br />
Save the dates:<br />
FRIDAY, APRIL 13...................SHOW OPENING<br />
SATURDAY, APRIL 14.............OPENING RECEPTION<br />
SUNDAY, APRIL 29.................SHOW CLOSING<br />
In-kind gifts have been generously offered by Tyler<br />
affi liates to decrease the fi nancial strain of the exhibition.<br />
Victory Brewing Company of Downingtown, PA, owned<br />
by Tyler graduate Bill Covaleski, BFA ’85 has offered<br />
to sponsor the event. His company will assist with<br />
advertising and promotions, while donating personnel<br />
and beer for the event. The Crane Building, co-owned<br />
by professors Nicholas Kripal and Richard Hricko, MFA<br />
’79, of the Tyler School of Art, donated one week of free<br />
gallery space to the Tyler Alumni Association. RIS the<br />
paper house donated paper for all the communication<br />
pieces. <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>University</strong> Alumni Association rewarded<br />
Tyler a $5,000 grant to overwrite some of the costs.<br />
Putting together this exhibit has once again illustrated<br />
the commitment of the Tyler community in contributing<br />
resources. Truly, our pool of alumni and friends has<br />
created a powerful, forward momentum.<br />

director of development’s message<br />
DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF TYLER,<br />
I hope you are enjoying the newly designed<br />
newsletter. It’s just one of the changes from<br />
the offi ce of development and alumni affairs.<br />
Please let us know how you feel about the<br />
new format.<br />
Another change is the establishment of the alumni exhibition<br />
as a bi-annual event. You have just recently received a call for<br />
entries brochure requesting your submission. I’m personally<br />
looking forward to seeing all the submissions that will come<br />
in for Victory for Tyler.<br />
The other news is that we have had our best fundraising year<br />
ever, with more than $1.5 million added to the scholarship<br />
endowment alone. Thank you all for your support over the years.<br />
So many alumni and friends send a check with their alumni<br />
news. It is greatly appreciated. One factor in the ranking of any<br />
college is the level of alumni participation in the annual fund.<br />
Your donation, of any amount, contributes to this important<br />
number. Tyler’s new rankings will be unveiled next year and as<br />
always we expect our programs to be near the top.<br />
However, our biggest opportunities for private support are in<br />
the future, as Tyler goes through a period of great change and<br />
growth. Dean Keith Morrison will be an agent of change as<br />
Tyler moves from an obsolescent campus to a new building on<br />
<strong>Temple</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s main campus. His vision for Tyler includes a<br />
focus on urbanism, a much wider international scope, a deeper<br />
commitment to community arts and a greater connection to<br />
the great urban art centers.<br />
The dean’s new vision and the vibrant new building will combine<br />
to attract the best students and faculty to Tyler. As Tyler makes<br />
this transformation there will be much private support from<br />
alumni, art lovers in Philadelphia, private foundations and<br />
corporations.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Gregory Murphy<br />
Director of Development and Alumni Affairs<br />
Tyler School of Art<br />
