Please visit our campus gallery within the Karl E.
Mundt Library to view the works of Mr. Broer throughout the month of
November, 2009..
Reception: Enjoyed
on November 4th, from 5 PM to 8 PM with music from 5 PM to 5:45
PM by Marnie Cook.
Artist Statement
“I think, sometimes, when I am alone, usually when
I am making
art, about the elements in nature around me. I like to ponder
relationships. How everything has its own significant place, how
everything is somehow related to everything else.
How..most importantly, we don't readily
understand these
relationships, yet if one element is missing, an emptiness exists."
“I perceive my major strength as a 'no
holds barred' approach to painting. How a painting is accomplished is of
little value when in retrospect one observes the sense of spiritualism in
the finished product.”
Mr. Broer gave a gallery talk at
6pm on November 4, 2009, and then a
demonstration of how he makes his prints shortly after his introduction.
Over twenty five attendees enjoyed his creation of an original monotype.
Roger
is an Oglalla Lakota member and his art is collected nationally and
internationally.
Music was provided by Marnie
Cook at 5pm until approximately 5:45pm (she performed in the underground @
8pm that evening as sponsored by Diversity Services at DSU)
Marnie
is a singer songwriter whose music is influenced by contemporary folk
genres. Both events celebrate Native-American month, and is a collaborative
movement by the DSU Art Gallery and Diversity services to bring culturally
rich events to the DSU community and the larger Madison community. These
events highlight the desire on behalf of our organizations to celebrate the
rich cultural heritage in our state. MAAC the Madison Area Arts Council is
providing lodging for Mr. Broer and they are helping to involve the off
campus community in campus events. Thanks so much for your attention.
