CSULB Illustration Professor Robin Richesson illustrated the costume designs for the upcoming movie If Beale Street Could Talk. Her works appear in a Hollywood Reporter article this week and coupled with costume designer Caroline Eselin-Schaefer’s words, we see how the costumes do more than just clothe; they also help tell the story. Much of this, as Eselin-Schaefer puts, comes straight from author James Baldwin’s original story: “He gave us the color. He is so descriptive of color of the clothing in the book.”

Congratulations Prof. Richesson!

In a series of articles from the Daily 49er written by Hannah Getahun, depicts the challenges both students and faculty have with dealing with an aging and failing FA-4 building. While there are challenges for all parties involved: woeful budgets, understaffing, aging infrastructure, it makes it even more important that the University as well as  our Art community do what we all  can to help all of us on campus bring our buildings into the 21st Century.

CSULB Ceramic Professor Jay Kvapil will be having a solo exhibition of new ceramic work at Gallerie Lefebvre & Fils, in Paris, France. Entitled That Obscure Object of Desire, the show explores the tension between nearly classical ceramic pottery forms wed to goopy, gloppy, cratered, and lava-like surfaces. The exhibition will run from November 22, 2018  through January 5, 2019.

Félicitations Professor Kvapil!
