FALC Education presentation, Thursday May 24th 2012, 7:30 p.m. at the Cary Art Center. Dr. Kate Carroll will speak on textiles in the Chateau du Compiegne in France. Dr. Carroll is the Assistant Professor of Fashion at the College of Textiles at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. She is originally from Britain where she received her BA in in Art History from the University of Manchester. She completed her MA at Michigan State University and was awarded a Ph. D. in Clothing and Textiles from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Dr. Carroll has taught at E.C.U., Virginia Polytechnic and SCAD. The Chateau du Compiegne is a royal residence built for King Louis XV and restored by Napoleon. It was one of the three seats of royal government, the others being Versailles and Fontainebleau. The result is an example of First French Empire style (1808-1810), though some traces of the earlier décor survive. From 1856 on, Napoleon III and Eugénie made it their autumn residence, and redecorated some rooms in the Second Empire style. April Program: FALC members and guests are invited to come out Thursday April 26th to hear a presentation by Ukrainian immigrant Olga Kolstyck at the Cary Art Center, 7:30 p.m. Olga's parents are professors of art in Kiev and she will talk about her first -hand experience of living through the transition from the Soviet era to independence and the era of perestroika. Her father is a brilliant and unique surrealist, a style which was unacceptable in the former USSR. Olga's in-depth knowledge and grasp of Russian history and culture and her reflections on her homeland are astonishing and fascinating. She is an accomplished and eloquent speaker and writer For anyone who is interested in the former USSR, or in the nature of art education, training and criticism in Ukraine, this presentation is a special opportunity not to be missed.
