Alexander Calder: The Man, His Mobiles, and More... Wednesday, July 28, 10:00 a.m.
Join this discussion on the life and work of American kinetic and modern artist Alexander Calder. Known to many as ‘Sandy,’ the Pennsylvania native was the son of well-known sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder, and his grandfather and mother were also successful artists. Calder used motors to make his works move, but soon abandoned this method and began using air currents alone. Our presenter, Amanda Lensing, is the Senior Living Communities Program Coordinator at the University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art and Co-Director of Connected for Life: Object-based Digital Programming to Foster Active Minds for Senior Living Communities.
Women Who Shaped the University of Iowa Wednesday, August 11, 12:00 p.m.
Spend your lunch hour learning about a specific group of women’s lasting impact on the University of Iowa with Anna Holland. Anna is the Processing Archivist for the Iowa Women’s Archives at the University of Iowa’s Special Collections and Archives. She holds a BA in History from Augustana College (’13) and an MLIS from the University of Iowa (’18). Working in the Iowa Women’s Archives for the past six years, Anna has encountered the history of hundreds of incredible Iowa women, and there’s almost nothing she loves more than sharing their stories! She has previously given public talks on lesbian feminism, the women’s suffrage movement, and, of course, Women Who Shaped the University of Iowa.
