50 years after the Second Vatican Council, scholars, clergy, and Catholics all over the world are still considering the impact of one of the major Church events of the last century. For those with an interest in religious studies or Church history, this is an important time of discussion, analysis, sharing, and review.
The Department of Catholic Studies has put together the event “Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Second Vatican Council: Celebrating the Decree on Ecumenism,” taking place tomorrow, November 21 2013. This afternoon event will feature speakers and a panel discussion on Unitatis redintegratio, the Council’s document on ecumenism. The full program linked above lists the speakers, topics, and timeline, and the main portion of the event will take place from 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m in the Chancellor’s Suite.
The Archives and Special Collections Center is participating in this special event with a display of collection materials related to the Council. Including materials from the John M. Oesterreicher papers, the George Shea papers, the Martin W. Stanton papers, the Walter W. Curtis papers, and the Mrs. Frank Whitrock scrapbooks, this selection highlights the involvement of some of those from the Archdiocese of Newark who participated in the Council, as well as how those at home saw it unfold. This display shows photographs, Council documents, writings, pamphlets, newsclippings, and invitations from these five collections and is just a small sample of related materials held at the A&SCC. More information can be found in the flyer put together by the Department of Catholic Studies. For more information on research materials related to the Second Vatican Council held by the A&SCC, consult our LibGuide page on Vatican 2 collections.
The A&SCC wishes to thank Dr. Ines Murzako and the entire Department of Catholic Studies as well as Dr. John Buschman, Dean of University Libraries, for inclusion in this event.

Walsh Gallery Exhibition:
MARKING TERRITORY
Monday, November 11 – Friday, December 13
Opening Reception Thursday, November 14 – 5pm to 9pm
Gallery Talk: Andrew Kapochunas discusses “The Influence of Maps on Society and Contemporary Art” Wednesday, Nov. 13 – 2 to 3:15pm
The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University presents “Marking Territory,” a group exhibition co-curated by Alycia Piazza and Erin Healy, graduate students in the university’s Museum Professions program. The exhibition features artworks created with repurposed maps, enabling artists to explore a variety of socio-political implications. The exhibition includes metropolitan-area artists Aileen Bassis, Wenye Fang, Joshua Knoblick, Zannah Marsh, Disnarda Pinilla, Nyugen Smith and Mimi Weinberg. Their diverse backgrounds and perspectives stimulate a dialogue on the implications of superimposing lines on land.
Maps drawn by cartographers and artists have influenced the human understanding of the world from their inception. Maps are not static objects, they are ever-changing to reflect the knowledge, beliefs and circumstances of the people who use and create them. “Like many official documents, maps are something we often take at face value — an essential truth. But as this group of artists demonstrates, maps are far more than simple diagrams or way-finding tools” say co-curators Piazza and Healy. The artists involved in “Marking Territory” have used a variety of media to manipulate maps and highlight themes potentially lost between the lines. Topics addressed in the show include colonialism, identity politics, economic growth and decline, biology, memory and social interaction.

The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University presents “Cell Mates” two group exhibitions curated by Jeanne Brasile, Gallery Director and Lisbeth Murray, Independent Guest Curator. The exhibitions feature artists working on the cusp of art and science by integrating methodologies or concepts borrowed from science. A wide range of topics related to cellular forms will be presented, creating a discursive exploration into microorganisms and concerns derived from their study. Aside from addressing modes of creation inspired by science, the strategy of creating two shows on the same topic, side-by-side, will similarly articulate the creative nature of curatorial practice and how two curators, using the same narrative framework can come to very different aesthetic and thematic conclusions. Lisbeth Murray, currently with Robert Miller Gallery, notes “I am particularly interested in how artists obscure or pronounce the delineation between artistic and scientific practices. There is a notable emphasis on curiosity that is common to both professions.” Cell Mates curated by Jeanne Brasile features artists; Gabe Benzur, Matt Drissell, Jordan Eagles, Sarah Fattori, Lorrie Fredette, Laura Gravenstine, Marianne Hamel & Nikki Johnson, Phil Hastings, Jeanne Heifetz, Caitlin McCormack, Vikki Michalios and Shuli Sadé. Lisbeth Murray’s exhibition includes artists Suzanne Anker, Jordan Eagles, Lorrie Fredette, Phil Hastings, Jeanne Heifetz, Taehee Kim, Hyungsub Shin, Amanda Thackray, Linda Tien and Joyce Yamada. The included artists work in a variety of media including sculpture, painting, digital photography, installation and other mixed-media formats.
