Marxy in the Tower - 1971

On the opposite page, Marxhausen is quoted:

When one says yes to life - all the findings are an affirmation and celebration to belief. Looking and searching s to never know, and expectancy is high.

The entry reads:

First semester Professor Marxhausen invited all art majors and minors to help draw a scale picture of the moon which was placed on the north wall of the science building. During interim his art and science, using techniques from both disciplines, created optical illusions which were placed in the science building stairwells.

Also noteworthy, photos of the student senate and officers were taken in front of Marxhausen's Open Book that year.

Do You See What I See?

This brochure advertises an event hosted by Marxhausen. All I know about it so far is what I gleaned from the text on the back, but some of Marxhausen's contemporaries might be able to tell me more about it. It appears as though the event was about teaching people to look for beauty in unlikely places, similar to the message of his films, A Time to See and Findings.

[Edit:Notice that his list of credentials mentions four films. Time Lines, Findings, and A Time to See are pretty widely known, and have been preserved in Concordia's library, but The Koenig Collection is less widely known. I'm happy to report that I discovered a copy of this fourth film on tape and now have it on DVD. The quality of the audio is not as good as the other three, but it contains some excellent information. If anyone else owns a copy of The Koenig Connection with better sound, I would like to preserve it on DVD.]
