Third Annual FRAMEworthy Faculty Lecture
Sunday, March 29, 2009 at 3 p.m.
Douglas Shedd, The Catherine Ehrman Thoresen '23 and William E. Thoresen Professor of Biology, Randolph College
The Maier's student docent club, FRAME, annually selects a faculty member to deliver a lecture at the Museum addressing aspects of the visual arts from the perspective of their discipline. FRAME chose Professor Shedd for a variety of reasons, one being his strong identification with major themes in the "98th Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Art—Evolutionary Drift: Works by Sue Johnson and Pam Longobardi." One of Professor Shedd's research projects includes studying a rare species of bird ecologically linked to the traditional agricultural practices still in evidence along parts of Ireland's west coast. Visual artists Johnson and Longobardi are also deeply interested in bird species (real and imagined) and how ecology is informed by human presence and practice.
