SXU continues 2010-11 film series with “Norma Rae”
Sixth installment in “Working on Film” series
Chicago (March, 2011) Saint Xavier University will screen the 1979 film “Norma Rae” on Thurs., March 17 in McGuire Hall, Warde Academic Center, 3700 W. 103rd St., Chicago.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Directed by Martin Ritt, “Norma Rae” tells the story of a factory worker from a small town in Alabama who becomes involved in the labor union activities at the textile factory where she works. The film stars Sally Field in the titular role, Beau Bridges as Norma Rae's husband, Sonny, and Ron Liebman as union organizer Reuben Warshowsky. Sally Field won both an Academy Award and a Best Actress Award from the Cannes Film Festival for her performance.
“Norma Rae" is the sixth of seven movies in SXU's 2010-11 film series, “Working on Film.” This year’s film series offers an array of screenings that shed light on the experience of labor: how and where people work and the ways that work affects personal life. These stories of work span 80 years of film making and stretch across the globe, linked by the universality of work and human dignity. "Baran” is the final film in the series.
For more information, contact Film Series Director Alison Fraunhar, Ph.D., at fraunhar@sxu.edu or (773) 298-3083.

Artist John Stanicek’s works to be displayed at SXU Gallery
Ceramic sculpture and graphite drawings from March 10 through April 5
Chicago (March 1, 2011) The works of graphic artist/illustrator John Stanicek will be displayed from Thurs., March 10 to Tues., April 5 at Saint Xavier University's SXU Gallery, located in the Chicago Campus' Warde Academic Center, 3700 W. 103rd St.
Stanicek will give a lecture about the exhibit, titled "Drawn to Clay," at a reception at 3:30 p.m., Thurs., March 10 in the gallery. Stanicek said the exhibit is inspired by machines and their components.
“Every day of this modern life we are exposed to machines and mechanical things. Still, we seldom consider our encounter with these objects significant even though they do the work, provide the work, or save on the work of our daily routine,” said Stanicek. “Their presence and influence are often overlooked. We love them and we hate them, yet this relationship is ever present.”
Stanicek is a graphic artist/illustrator from Aurora and works as a Studio Artist in ceramics at Waubonsee Community College. His work has been displayed throughout Illinois since 2003.
The Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. For more information, please contact the Gallery at (773) 298-3081.
