Preston
Metcalf - "Defying the Taliban: Saving the Art of Afghanistan"
Lecture
and Slide Show
In 2001 the Taliban dynamited the 2 giant Buddhas
of Bamiyon out of existence. These massive stone sculptures,
more then 180 feet tall, were created in the 6th century and
were regarded as national and world trasures. It is but one
atrocity the Taliban perpetrated in the name of cultural intolerance.
This is the story of a number of brave individuals who defied
the Taliban, even at the risk of death, to save their artistic
and cultural past. The lecture will be accompanied by a slide
show. Preston Metcalf is the Assistant Curator at the Triton
Museum of Art in Santa Clara. He conducts an ongoing series
of lectures on Art History at the museum. For more information
on his lecture series, please visit www.tritonmuseum.org

is used in our environment.

Profile
of the Month
|
Every month we bring you the profile of a
FALC member who contributes their time and effort toward the
club. Slava Shabrov and his wife Yelena Shabrova have offered
to handle the painting changes at Quinlan and have been a great
help during setup and takedown of FALC community shows.
Slava Shabrova
is a photographer and has had his camera in hand as long as
he can remember. He considered going into photo journalism after
school but then decided to make a career in engineering (computer
systems and networks) while staying with photography as his
passion. He likes both digital and traditional phtography but
in the last 8 years has grown to appreciate the convenience
of digital media. Wide angle landscapes and sunsets are his
favorite subjects and they both present big but very different
challenges. He comments that unlike creating a painting, photography
is a selection process; he does not know which of 50 shots of
that cone or pine will end up in a frame, if at all. But once
selected, that particular photo that is printed and framed is
what he considers his piece of art!
