Exhibiting Artist Information
Mallory Breiner makes painting, sculpture and installation that collage visual language from art history, film, and found internet images referencing ecology, literature, gender and motherhood.
Prof. Breiner teaches foundations in art and sculpture: site and installation.
Brian Collier's projects and public interventions range across a wide variety of media including photography, drawing, video, sculpture, artists books, installation and performance. His research-based practice is focused on elements of the other-than-human natural world that exist, or have reinserted themselves, in human-dominated environments.
Prof. Collier teaches sculpture, digital imaging, digital video art, art and ecology, wood furniture design and construction, and senior studio. He is also curator and director of the McCarthy Art Gallery.
Jordan Douglas: "Things of My Father, #4" is an homage to Stephen Douglas–a lifelong artist and teacher, who now lives in a nursing home in New York. The items, collected from his house of 55 years, were photographed with black-and-white film and the resulting contact sheets were scanned, cropped, and printed digitally.
Prof. Douglas teaches dark room and digital photography courses.
The work of artist Peter Gallo oscillates freely between painting, drawing, collage, and sculpture. Filled with literary, art-¬historical, cultural, political, and musical references and detours, Gallo’s works, when installed together, create poetic, albeit labyrinthine, mise-¬en--scènes.
Prof. Gallo teaches modern and contemporary art history courses.
Gordon Glover is a multimedia artist and creative media professor observing and exploring the limits of materialism, resources, and culture. The series ‘light in dark places’ includes iterations of collapse, loss, and recalibration, using available tools and materials.
Prof. Glover teaches digital animation.
Becca Gurney is a pro-abortion art director and graphic designer devoted to advocacy and action. She is the founder of Design Choice, a mission driven design studio. As you consider recent SCOTUS decisions, she invites you to act to preserve access to abortion and democracy, instead of leaving it up to the know-it-all Magic 9-Ball.
Prof. Gurney teaches graphic design courses including intro to graphic design, web design, publication design, brand design, typography, and interactions with color.
Will Mentor became interested in the spectacle of consumerism and the business of agriculture while splitting his time between New York City and a farm in Iowa. His more recent works explore these notions through geometric abstractions of bar codes colour-coded with agribusiness logos. Mentor's concern with agriculture as a product of labor, biochemistry and industry influences not only the subject of his paintings, but also the way he makes them. His computer-maniputed, hand-painted images of barcodes are analogous to the interaction between humans and machines.
Prof. Mentor teaches painting, mixed media, drawing from life, and junior studio.
