PCC Instructor Inspires People to Rediscover Their Connection to Art

March 29, 2012

Tucson, AZ -- A member of Pima Community College’s art faculty will deliver the final Speakers’ Series lecture of the Spring semester on April 3.   

Michael Stack’s discussion, entitled “Closed, Open and Hyper-Open Form Seeing:  An Aesthetic and Historical Perspective,” will focus on how he helps people regain their connection to art and embrace what he calls the “open form” in creating art.

His presentation will begin with our earliest memories of drawing, to show how early personal experiences of the visual can be expanded to reveal and reconnect to a variety of social and historical contexts. 

Michael Stack teaches at Pima’s East Campus. His primary mediums are painting and drawing.  Stack has exhibited at the National Academy Museum, the El Paso Museum, Museo de Arte Ciudad Juarez, the Woodmere Museum and the Tucson Museum of Art, as well as university and private galleries in Tucson, Phoenix, Santa Fe, New York, Philadelphia and Atlanta.

The lecture begins at 6 p.m., Tuesday, April 3, at the PCC District Office, Community Board Room (Building C), 4905 E. Broadway Blvd.  The Speakers’ Series, now in its second year, showcases the expertise and accomplishments of PCC’s faculty to the community.
