2023-09-07 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
The Commodores aren’t just any group. They have staying power. Just like their hit song, “Brick House,” The Commodores have created a foundation that just won’t budge. After churning out hit after hit in the Motown Days, The Commodores still hadn’t achieved Grammy recognition. This wasn’t to be until 1986, without Lionel Richie, when The Commodores released “Night Shift.”
Unlike many other groups, The Commodores haven’t rested on their early hits. Quite the contrary, The Commodores have continued to put out quality work. With the creation of their new label, The Commodores released Commodores Hits Vol. I, Commodores Hits Vol. II, Commodores Christmas, and Commodores XX-No Tricks. The newest CD, “Commodores Live” was recorded during the group’s 1997 U.S. tour and released in December 1998 along with the TV special of the same name.
The successful Commodores of the present have not only produced six new albums, and embarked upon a world-wide tour, but have created their own record label, Commodores Records and Entertainment. Today The Commodores stand not only as talented and successful musicians, but as artists determined to continue their success into the future.

Jennifer Seo: Paperworks Exhibition
2023-08-24 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S ART DEPARTMENT PRESENTS THE EXHIBITION JENNIFER SEO: PAPERWORKS
Delta State University’s Art Gallery opens its 2023-2024 season with an exhibition of delicate paper sculptures by Jennifer Seo. The department invites the campus and the community to an opening reception on August 24 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
Jennifer Seo painstakingly recreates everyday objects such as teacups, bowls, tables, flatware, eyeglasses, cross necklaces, and embroidered handkerchiefs she discovers in old family photographs as ghostly paper constructions. The artist says that she remakes these “objects to better understand what we find important about them and why.” According to the artist, “objects go from being simply a thing we interact with as utility to a thing that embodies a philosophy and culture.” For Seo who is of Korean descent and was born in Florida, the process of fashioning these paper sculptures is a way of connecting with her distant family and imagining their day-to-day lives. The fragile and abstract nature of these paper sculptures becomes a metaphor for her thought process, for the difference between her projections and actuality, between observation and perception.
Seo was born in Florida and grew up in Los Angeles. She received a BFA degree from Baylor University, then worked as assistant for the sculptor Karl Umlauf before earning an MFA degree from the University of Texas San Antonia. She currently is an Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. Her work has been featured in group and solo exhibitions in the United States and South Korea.
Jennifer Seo: Paperworks will be on view in the gallery from August 24 to September 21, 2023. An opening reception at which light refreshments will be served will be held on August 24 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
The gallery is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks. For further information visit our website at https://www.deltastate.edu/art/wright-center-art-gallery/ or contact 662.846.4720.
