The Toolness of things
Summary
Metal Art and Craft
A fantastic chance to chow a part of my ongoing research into national specific forms, the way we recognize form and then categorize them.
Supported by
Southern Illinois Universety and Surplus Gallery Carbondale US.
Description of project
I was invited by Southern Illinois University and the Surplus Gallery to take part in their annual Faculty show. I was there as a caretaker, professor and AIR for their Metals department as a Faculty exchange with Professor Rick Smith. It was a great way to test out the beginning of this my most resent body of work.
