Davisville, Sept. 11, 2017: Imagining America, from Davis

Mon, 09/11/2017 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Milmon, Erica (1).jpg

If Americans are less certain these days about who we are as a nation, maybe Imagining America can help. The nationwide network, created by a White House initiative in 1999, says its purpose is to bring together scholars, artists, students, designers and cultural organizers to “address the most pressing issues of our time.” This summer it moved to UC Davis from Syracuse, N.Y. On today’s show we talk with two UC Davis faulty members who help lead the network: Erica Kohl-Arenas, associate professor in American Studies and Imagining America’s new faculty director; and Milmon Harrison, associate professor in African American and African Studies. We discuss the network, what it wants to achieve, its conference on campus next month, and why it chose Davis as its new home.

Encaustic = art made from hot pots of color!

Mon, 09/04/2017 - 1:59pm | Lois Richter

KDRT~encaustic~InSet(2017-09-07)-sm.jpg

Adele Louise Shaw is an encaustic artist and teacher in Davis. Her work is known world-wide, and her art classes have been drawing enthusiastic students for years. Listen on Thursday at 1:00 pm (7 Sept 2017) or Friday at 3:00 pm (8 Sept 2017) to hear about this fascinating art form. Newly revived in the west, it's origins are over 2000 years old!

What is encaustic? -- the substance, the process, and the finished work all share the same word. Should a piece of encaustic art be flat and painterly or 3-D and sculptural? Should it have bold splashes of color or subtle transparent layers? Since one can include other materials into encaustic, should the art piece then be called "encaustic", "mixed media", or "collage"? Adele will tell us YES! Encaustic art allows freedom of expression on many levels; we are not limited to the 'shoulds' that abound elsewhere.

We will find out the nitty gritty of what materials to use in encaustic art (and why) and also about the care and feeding of an encaustic piece you own. No phone calls today, but Lois has lots of questions stored up -- so this will definitely be a hot episode!

Davisville, Aug. 28, 2017: We Need A Lot More Housing, California YIMBY Says, So Start Building

Mon, 08/28/2017 - 7:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Davis housing 082715 1 (1).jpg

Housing is expensive and scarce, in Davis and in regions all over California. Clearly, the supply has not kept up with the growth in population. Brian Hanlon is executive director of California YIMBY (for “Yes In My Backyard”), a new group, largely backed by technologists, that is urging the state to get serious about building more houses and apartments. Lots of them. Wherever they're needed. It supports several proposed laws now before the state Legislature, including one that would reduce barriers to new housing in communities that don’t take their state-defined share of growth. On today’s Davisville, we talk about remedies he supports and how they’d play out here.
