Exhibition: Jason Ferguson's work featured in Eco-Logic at SpaceCamp Gallery

Preview_spacecamp-koe-install1

It’s getting hot in here (Earth), so several national and international artists make work regarding the changes we are causing to the global environment. Funded in part by an IUPUI Institute for Arts and Humanities Research Grant.

Most people agree that the world’s climate is changing. Opinions on how rapidly and how much of the fault is on humans differ but the consensus is that we are damaging the atmosphere and the planet. We are also making changes that have less direct affects, some bird species are now wholly dependent on humans for food, some types of trees only grow in managed areas or farms. This exhibition brings together five artists whose work talks about the changes from the micro to macroscopic.

SpaceCamp Gallery, Herron School of Art and Design, Indianapolis, IN. Opening Reception: Friday, March 1st 7pm-10pm

Preview_subvertingmod-coverfinal

From March 11-April 28 the University Gallery will hold Subverting Modernism: Cass Corridor Revisited 1966-1980. With a 1960s revolutionary spirit, the Cass Corridor artists, who worked in a run down area near Wayne State University, overthrew Modernism and ushered in Post-Modernism, exploring such themes as industrial and post-industrial Detroit, existential vulnerability, the human need for shelter, the persistence of the life force, and the presence or absence of order in nature. The catalogue for the show is being distributed by Wayne State University Press.

Julie Myers, Professor of Art History at EMU curated the exhibition and authored the catalog. Click here to view additional information on the exhibition catalog.
