Set in 1930's. When Elyot and Amanda, a formerly married couple, meet by chance while honeymooning with new spouses at the same hotel, old sparks reignite and the two impulsively elope. But, after only a few days of being reunited, their alternating passions of love and anger remind them of why they divorced in the first place. Matters only escalate when their aggrieved recent spouses arrive and new partnerships are formed.

The Ewing Gallery of Art and Architecture is pleased to present Fransje Killaars: Color at the Center from September 12 - October 21, 2013.

Fransje Killaars is a remarkable colorist who approaches her medium – textiles – in challenging and innovative ways that are as much cultural statements as they are vigorously conceptual. Killaars places color at the center of her practice, production, and viewer’s experience. Her installations exist in a space that merges art, architecture, fashion, and interior design.

Killaars’ primary media has strong associations with the handwork of craft traditions. At the same time, her work is also discussed within the context of deskilling, the continued removal of the artist’s hand from the creation of art, an artistic practice embraced by artists primarily with the advent of Modernism.

Killaars will be lecturing on Thursday, September 12 at 7:30 pm in room 109 of the Art and Architecture Building on the UT Campus. There will be an opening reception for Color at the Center immediately following the lecture in the Ewing Gallery. All events are free and open to the public. The Ewing Gallery is open Monday - Friday from 10 am - 5pm and on Sundays from 1-4pm. Additional evening hours may be added at a later date.
