Helena Raya Violeta, Bardo Technology
Alumni Gallery, Texas BuildingView EventWhat: Exhibition opening reception for Helena Raya Violeta, Bardo Technology Where: Alumni Gallery, Texas Building, campus of Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design When: Reception Thursday, May 16, 2013, 6:00-9:00 p.m., exhibit runs May 2 – August 9, 2013 RMCAD is pleased to celebrate the opening of painting alumni Helena Raya Violeta’s exhibition Bardo Technology.

The body of work is a reflection of Violeta’s experience in different Bardo states. "BARDO- 'in-between state' already in Hīnayāna and Mahāyāna works of around the second century there are indications of a concept state that connects the death of an individual with their following rebirth. This conception was further elaborated in the teachings of the Vajrayāna. In the Nāro Choödrug and in the Bardo Thödol, six kinds of in-between states were differentiated: (1) the bardo of birth, (2) dream bardo, (3) bardo of meditation (dhyãna), (4) bardo of the moment of death, (5) bardo of supreme reality (dharmata), and (6) bardo of becoming. While the first three bardos characterize the present life as a phase of "suspended states", the last three bardos encompass the forty-nine-day-long process of death and rebirth."

The theme for the 2013 conference is “A Spectrum of Possibilities,” inspiring forward thinking and development of the assessment of student learning, programs/degrees, institutions, and other aspects of assessment of art or design in academia. The keynote address will be given by Meredith Davis, PhD, from North Carolina State University. This conference is unique because it offers a platform for promoting effective art assessment approaches and practices, going deeper into specialty assessment focuses, and exploring new ideas and theories.
