The art works are constructed of multi-paneled paintings made with oil paint on beeswax applied to rigid canvas panels, often including etched glass and objects. They read from left to right, often made up of several panels which literally construct sentences, or phrases. Each artwork acts very similarly to our subject, verb, object sentence construction order thus making a sort of linguistic construct.<br /><br /> Complex devices used by the artist are the platonic solids; the triangle, square and circle; the three primary colors which are the building blocks of artistic or poetic expression and the NATO Phonetic alphabet.<br /><br /> Dennis Evans is a three time graduate of the University of Washington, with an MFA, a BFA and a BS [in Chemistry]. He has had 15 one-person exhibitions in the last ten years throughout the United States and over 40 in his 34-year exhibition career. <em>Writing Lessons/Reading Sessions</em> was last shown in New York City in 2003. 19 Feb 2008 (katel) http://www.lib.washington.edu/specialcoll/ <br>Date/Time: March 24 - May 30, 2008 <br>Location: 3 locations: Suzzallo/Allen Library, Room 102 | Allen Library North Balcony | Special Collections Lobby 07 Apr 2008 (skroupa) http://www.lib.washington.edu/ougl/spotlight/panther/ The traveling photographic exhibition "The Black Panthers: Making Sense of History" provides an electrifying visual history of the Black Panthers as photographed by Stephen Shames. <br> <br>Date/Time: through May 31, 2008 <br>Location: Odegaard Undergraduate Library 03 Apr 2008
