Parks Exhibition Center

The Parks Exhibition Center is a focal point of the Idyllwild Arts campus. It is open throughout the year and serves to enrich the Academy and Summer Program by featuring the work of students, faculty and visiting artists. The 1400 square foot space was dedicated in 2002 and is a gift of Elizabeth B. Parks.

During the academic year, September through May, the Parks Center is an integral part of the Academy's Visual Art program. It offers students the opportunity to view art works firsthand in a professional gallery setting. Parks is an invaluable educational tool, providing a forum for critical dialogue between the students and artists. It has become a dynamic part of Idyllwild Arts, hosting readings, performances and local community events.

National Performance Art Month
January 16 – February 7, 2009

Curators: Morgan Satterfield and Paul Waddell

Event Dates:

The Parks Exhibition Center at Idyllwild Arts is pleased to present National Performance Art Month. The exhibition will run January 16 through February 7 with a schedule of performances, video screenings and workshops.

Using the rhetoric of National Educational Awareness Months popularized in public schools throughout the United States, National Performance Art Month intends to raise awareness and educate students through a survey of historical documentation and live works of performance art. Utilizing the peculiar venue of a contemporary art gallery housed within the grounds of a private arts high school as a curatorial departure point, National Performance Art Month promotes a dialogue about what constitutes a valuable educational experience in the fine arts in a climate of cross disciplinary art practices.

Given performance arts history and influence on current art practices the exhibition encourages high school students to consider the aesthetic and contextual value of a live experiential event (or temporal action) as a complete artwork. In an ironic gesture the show employs the rigid structure of forced educational tolerance through the appropriation of the aesthetics and ideals of National Educational Awareness Months in order to educate students about an art form that at its core questions the value of those structures.
In order to show a cross section of current performance art practices the artists included work with varied methods of live performance ranging from durational events, the body as allegory, direct political activism, hybridization of rock and roll and art and the deployment of technology to create social unity.
In conjunction with the live performances there will be two evenings of video screenings that include documentation of early performance work as well as recently documented live events and performance work produced specifically for video. The video screenings will serve as a counter point to the live events allowing viewers to contemplate the difference between live performance art and its document.

Eric Metzler: 20 Year Retrospective
Photography and Mixed Media
January 7-25

Artist Reception
January 11, 2008 6:30 p.m.
Parks Exhibition Center

Eric Metzler has been a teacher of photography for the past twenty years at Idyllwild Arts Academy. Lathing Lilies, his twenty year retrospective, metaphorically references the two major influences in his work—the early traditional work in nature, portraiture and form versus the later conceptual work in mixed media, sculpture and technology. The work utilizes broad applications of symbolism, analogy, exaggeration, abstraction, humor, religion, politics, and technology.
