A GUIDE TO FALL 2014 EVENTS
September 26 – January 4 | 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. | DailyOttosen Gallery in Dorrance Hall
The Fish Out of Water exhibit includes inked impressions of fi sh from local canals, rivers, lakes and ponds. The impressions are done by using an ancient Japanese technique called gyotaku. This technique dates back to the mid-1800s and is said to have been used by fi shermen to document their catches, but also for art purposes. The artist, Dr. Joe McAuliffe, is also director of research, conservation and collections at the Desert Botanical Garden.
Meet the artist! Join artist Joe McAuliffe on October 16 to hear about his practice of the fascinating art form of gyotaku. For tickets visit dbg.org/fi sh
