Event: Jason J Ferguson's 3D printing research presented at New Media Caucus

Sculpture faculty member Jason Ferguson will present his research on 3D printing and the integration of rapid prototyping technology into his art process. The 3D Panel/Roundtable Discussion presented by the New Media Caucus is a production of the annual College Arts Association conference at the Hilton Chicago.

This roundtable is an opportunity to explore and discuss the emerging field of 3D printing in the art and technology / studio art context, with particular focus on pedagogy. The concurrent 3D print show, Art2Make at Columbia College’s Center for Book and Paper provides a context for what is possible and how 3D printing is being adopted as a medium.

Exhibition: SightSee: Colin Blakely and Amy Sacksteder at the Ann Arbor Art Center

SightSee presents the work of EMU Art Professors Colin Blakely and Amy Sacksteder. Working in (and around) the landscape genre, both artists create mediated views that simultaneously reference and call into question traditional modes of representing nature.

Photographer Colin Blakely produces “grand vistas” that draw heavily on traditions in painting and photography. Through digital manipulation, Blakely alters his images in subtle yet pervasive ways that disrupt the common relationships established in depictions of the land. Amy Sacksteder presents paintings and drawings that engage the notions of transience and significance. With the traditions of landscape painting and natural science illustration as a starting point, Sacksteder incorporates the visual language of maps, diagrams, souvenirs, and artifacts as a way of exploring our connection, often via objects, to specific places and events.

Ann Arbor Art Center August 09-September 29. Opening Reception: Thursday September 12, 6 - 8 pm
