EVENT: 2004 Faculty Exhibition

The full-time faculty of the School of Art & Design offer a snapshot of current creative practices. More than 45 artists and designers, ranging from early- and mid-career to well-established practitioners will be showcased. The exhibit is free and open to the public.

The exhibition is a comprehensive mix, including more than 100 works spanning a range of media from paintings, prints and ceramics to installation, performance and electronic works. The work ranges from illustration to conceptual pieces, from images highlighting the ephemeral to those that focus on the supra real. The practitioners examine issues that draw directly from art and design traditions as well as those that link to other areas including the sciences, music, sociology, philosophy, architecture, anthropology, law and women’s studies.  

The 2004 Faculty Exhibition is the first collective showing of all the school’s fulltime faculty since 1997, giving students, the University and Ann Arbor communities, and a regional audience an opportunity for a close look at the broad range of creative resources that fuel the School of Art & Design’s teaching and creative enterprises.

Participating artists and designers include Jan-Henrik Andersen, Vincent Castagnacci, David Chung, Jim Cogswell, Larry Cressman, Susan Crowell, Phoebe Gloeckner, Daniel Herwitz, Doug Hesseltine, Al Hinton, Holly Hughes, Sadashi Inuzuka, Shaun Jackson, Carol Jacobsen, Andy Kirshner, Heidi Kumao, Joanne Leonard, Lou Marinaro, Malcolm McCullough, Dennis Miller, Rebekah Modrak, Anne Mondro, Patricia Olynyk, Dwayne Overmyer, Cynthia Pachikara, Janie Paul, Rich Pell, Marianetta Porter, Dan Price, Ted Ramsay, Michael Rodemer, Bryan Rogers, Stephanie Rowden, Jon Rush, Allen Samuels, Brad Smith, Sherri Smith, Hannah Smotrich, Takeshi Takahara, Satoru Takahashi, Nick Tobier, Joe Trumpey, Elona Van Gent, Alicyn Warren, Edward West and Georgette Zirbes.
