Artist shows a commitment to the craft; ARTIST from page 12 These deaths shook her con flicted religious beliefs. She had been raised Catholic but was simultaneously fascinated by and suspicious of the religion. “When someone close to you dies, conflicts in your belief sys tem become readily apparent,” she said. As a teen-ager, Gallimore grew disenchanted with her par ents’ church. She didn’t like the hierarchy that left women out of positions of leadership and dis trusted the church’s actions histor ically, such as the Inquisition. And she didn’t like the idea of the Pope being a sort of conduit to God. “You’re either connected to God or you’re not,” she said. But the spirituality and iconography of the church fasci nated her. Her master’s thesis dealt with Catholic imagery, and her adviser was a devout Catholic. She said they had different views of the church, but they were often on the same page. Religious imagery, not just Catholicism, is a heavy presence in her work. She calls a lot of what she does “Mysticism, Myth, and Magic” and said she draws her sources from religious art, Catholic ritual, language, popular culture and classical mythology. Her work also deals with fem inist issues, which ties into her role as president-elect of the Nebraska Women’s Caucus for Art. Marjorie Mikasen, artist and Web site designer for the Caucus, said she was looking forward to Gallimore’s presidency. “Patty has a very high energy level, and she’s very knowledge able of art in local areas,” she said. “Lots of vitality will come out of the Caucus because of her being president.” The Caucus is an organization that promotes women in the arts, and it holds events in Lincoln and Omaha. The next major exhibition of the Caucus members’ work is called “The Sky Is Falling! The Sky Is Falling!” For the exhibit, Caucus mem bers will address the end of the millennium and the coming of the new one on Masonite panels. The artists can use any medium they wish on the panels, and their work « Patty has a very high energy level, and she’s very knowledgeable of art in local areas. Lots of vitality will come out of the Caucus because of her being president.” Marjorie Mikasen artist and Web site designer for Nebraska Women’s Caucus will be exhibited in Lincoln in the Nebraska State Office Building Dec. 6-Dec. 30 and in Omaha at the 13th Street Gallery Jan. 8-Jan. 30. While this show features women’s reactions to the millenni um, Gallimore has been exploring women’s issues in her art for years. “I think from a feminist stand point, it’s very important that she uses her own figure, her own body,” Mikasen said. “It’s not fil tered through a male figure.” Mikasen said Gallimore’s work had evolved over the years, and she had boldly tried new media, such as silkscreen and installations. “She takes seemingly fairly common images or objects, like vials, and she’ll arrange them in such a manner that they’re in stark contrast,” Mikasen said. She said Gallimore recently traveled to Detroit for an intensive two-week study with silkscreen artist Mark Kaminksy, who has done silkscreen posters for several major rock groups. She took his influence and put it in her own silkscreen work. The Detroit trip was a rare excursion for Gallimore. She can usually be found giving massages by day and working in her gallery until late at night. “I have a job I love, but when I leave it, I leave it,” she said. “I still have that desire to make art.” Racism causes job scarcity, say stuntworkers LOS ANGELES (AP) — Black stuntworkers said Monday that discrimination in Hollywood is keeping them out of work. “I’m feeling it,” said Wayne King Jr. one of several stuntworkers at a news conference Monday. King double for Michael Jordan in “Space Jam” and did stunts in “Amistad,” Steven Spielberg’s movie about a revolt on a slave ship. In recent months, the lack of roles for minori ties on television has been a contentious issue, with advocacy groups criticizing the TV net works for largely white casting this season. Now, black stuntworkers are voicing anger over “paint downs,” in which white stuntworkers don dark make-up and wigs to stand in for such actors as Eddie Murphy, Samuel L. Jackson and Lou Gossett Jr. “When you have paint downs, you’re taking jobs away from African-Americans,” said Marvin Walters, a retired black stuntman. “I don’t care what they say. This is discrimination.” Walters had no hard statistics, but estimated that of some 65 black stuntworkers in Hollywood, only 15 work on a regular basis. Walters is calling for a “fade-out” from Oct. 8 to 10 of all Viacom production. 402-472-2588 A „ 402-472-1761 (FAX) ^ _ _ $5.25/15 words dn@unl.edu £ T A P P TTHTT^ X~^\.
