The Kauai Society of Artists (KSA), in conjunction with the current KSA exhibition "Byte Me: A Digital Challenge," will be presenting a free public lecture with Jan Hathaway, digital artist and instructor on Thursday, June 26, 6:30 pm at the Kukui Grove Exhibition Hall (Unit B-6) in Lihue. This event is open free to the public and sponsored by KSA with support from the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. Ms. Hathaway will discuss digital art as fine art, showing examples of her own work, and including a step-by-step demonstration on how some of them were created. Ms. Hathaway teaches interface design, typography, and digital imaging at Kapiolani Community College (KCC) on Oahu. She served as the New Media Arts Program Coordinator from 2002 until 2006. Prior to her work with KCC, she had a multimedia/graphic design business, and has also taught as an Assistant Professor in Art at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, East Tennessee State University, and Mississippi University for Women. She received an MFA and a BFA in Printmaking and Photography from the University of Alabama. Ms. Hathaway's artwork encourages reflection about the relationship between nature and culture, handwork and technology while being strongly influenced by coincidence, humor, feelings, and desire. She has had a long-term interest in creating prints of imaginary situations seeking the living moment, using original photographic images of natural subjects, such as plants, skies and facades of buildings, which are processed and digitally printed. Some works are cut out and hand-colored to add additional richness and texture, and then assembled to create two and three-dimensional collages. Jan actively exhibits her 2D and 3D
digital print collages locally and internationally. In 2007
she curated and participated in DASH Digital Art Association
at Gallery Iolani in Kaneohe, Hawaii, and had several pieces
of her collage work and a review published in an
international anthology Surrealist Subversions. In 2004, she
has been invited to participate in an international
exhibition titled Otherwise: Fantastic Art in Upper Austria.
A gallery of her work can be seen at her web site

The first Red Clay Jazz Festival
was held on May 17 at the
Kauai Marriott. The Kauai
Concert Association generously invited KSA members to
exhibit their work during the one-day event. Mahalo to Dede
Gentry Day for coordinating the exhibition.
KSA, in conjunction with the UH
Manoa "Intersections" Visiting Artist Program, sponsored a
free public lecture with Kirby Gookin --New York curator,
public artist, art historian, and critic-- on February 23,
2008, at Kukui Grove. Gookin has spent two decades wrestling
with concepts of originality and exploring copies,
copyrights, cloning and aspects of genetics as related both
to art and society. He showed images and discussed his work
as a founding member of GRATIS, a collective formed in 1994
to create copyright-free public projects on both sides of
the Atlantic. As a writer for many art publications, a
Director at White Columns, N.Y., and a Professor at N.Y.U.
teaching Critical Studies in the Dept. of Art and Art
Professions, Gookin presented his observations on
contemporary art and specifically issues revolving around
art and copyright. He is currently preparing a book on the
aesthetic foundations of eugenic practices titled Eugenics
and the Aesthetics of Ideal Beauty.
