Opening Reception and Talk at Herndon Gallery
There will be an artist talk at 7:30, and Wilson is creating a performance piece during the opening. She will be sleeping at the Herndon later this evening in a bedroom installed in the Gallery to create a new work for the exhibition.
Wilson will sleep over a written description of someone's favorite photograph and a piece of photographic paper, which will then be processed, scanned, and digitally printed, revealing the marks of her body, random light strikes, and other mysterious color traces. The resulting piece will then become a part of the exhibition. This is a continuation of her investigation into the body acting as a translation machine. Wilson approaches making photographs as a performance, using her body in direct contact with photographic materials to translate stories (or written memories) into visible marks.
Wilson could be sleeping over YOUR written description of a favorite photograph. The Herndon Gallery is collecting submissions and will select from them at the opening reception. The photograph can be a favorite professional photograph or a precious family photograph. Bring a handwritten or typed description of a favorite photograph, along with a scanned and printed reproduction to the opening.
"If Becoming This" will be showing from August 31 through November 16. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 1-4pm.
For more information, contact Dennie Eagleson, deagleson@antiochcollege.org or call 937-768-6462.

Peter Mayer at Mills Lawn Oct. 27
.jpg)
Peter Mayer writes songs for a small planet—songs about interconnectedness and the human journey; about the beauty and the mystery of the world. Whimsical, humorous, and profound, his music breaks the boundaries of "folk", and transcends to a realm beyond the everyday love song, to a place of wonder at the very fact of life itself.
Peter began playing the guitar and writing songs when he was in high school. He studied Theology and music in college, and then spent two years in seminary. After deciding that the priesthood wasn't for him, he took a part-time job as a church music director for 8 years, while performing at clubs and colleges, and writing and recording his music. In 1995, he quit his job and started touring full-time.
Since then, Peter has gradually gained a dedicated, word-of-mouth following, playing shows from Minnesota to Texas, New England to California. He has nine CDs to his credit, and has sold over 70 thousand of them independently. Peter's recent release Heaven Below was in the top most played CD of 2011 according to the FolkDJ list with the song All The World Is One the fourth most played song of 2011. Additionally Peter's CD Midwinter had the #1 song for December 2011 and was the second most played CD for the month.

Sustainable food systems talk at Antioch
Sterling College is a small, liberal arts college with what Yankee Magazine calls “one of the most innovative farm-to-table education programs.” Reichert received a bachelor’s degree in communications, with a concentration in photography from Antioch College in 2006. She has been developing an interest in food production and small business operation while living in New York City. While at Sterling College, she is learning about the economics of farming practices and how to work with draft horses, and make cheeses and bread.
Sterling College produces most of their food, or sources it locally as much as possible.

Embodying Conscious Femininity Weekend Workshops invite you to explore and experience the frontiers of your unconscious in your own cellular being. A dramatic life event, a body ravaged by addiction or illness, a symptom that defies easy cure, a trauma that never quite allows life to move forward, or an emptiness that cannot be filled in the outer world may have already forced you to go inward searching for what is lost.

Yelloween Scarecrow Festival 2012
This year, the scarecrows will go up immediately following Street Fair (Oct. 13) and stay in place through Halloween.
Here’s the scoop from Yelloween Scarecrow coordinator Bob “Corner Cone” Swaney: “Once again, if you wish I will provide armatures on which to build your scarecrow. They are $20 each. Please order soon. Businesses and villagers are invited to participate. You don't have to build the scarecrow yourself. Last year I made a donation to the art department at Mills Lawn School and they made scarecrows for me. You may wish to do the same or solicit an artist to make it for you. It's always fun if the scarecrow in front of your establishment relates to your place of business but it is not required. Please feel free to contact me if you need some advice. My number is 767-2461. This worked out to be a very nice thing last year and I think there's a possibility of getting some national press if we do it up right.”
The scarecrow frame inserts in the flag pocket/hole in front of each business. If you don’t own a business but have an idea for a business, approach them! They’ll probably be thrilled to have someone who wants to take part on their behalf. Start thinking now. Scarecrows need to be weather-resistant and that takes some planning. Call Bob now!

Sheilah Wilson is a photographer and videographer who uses performance as a way of creating photographic work. On the evening of her opening reception on Thursday, August 30, she will spend the night at the Herndon Gallery in a bedroom crafted especially for this exhibition.
That evening, Wilson will sleep over a written description of someone's favorite photograph and a piece of photographic paper, which will then be processed, scanned, and digitally printed, revealing the marks of her body, random light strikes, and other mysterious color traces. The resulting piece will then become a part of the exhibition.
This is a continuation of her investigation into the body acting as a translation machine. Wilson approaches making photographs as a performance, using her body in direct contact with photographic materials to translate stories (or written memories) into visible marks.
Wilson could be sleeping over YOUR written description of a favorite photograph. The Herndon Gallery is collecting submissions and will select from them at the opening reception. The photograph can be a favorite professional photograph or a precious family photograph.
Send in either a handwritten or typed description of a favorite photograph, along with a scanned and printed reproduction to:
Dennie Eagleson
Creative Director of the Herndon Gallery
Antioch College
One Morgan Place
Yellow Springs, Ohio 45387
Entries must be received by August 29, OR come to the opening reception and artist talk which will be at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 30.
If Becoming This will be on exhibit from August 31 through November 16. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
For more information, contact Dennie Eagleson, deagleson@antiochcollege.org or call 937 768-6462.
