Our 2015 annual juried exhibition took place at the Pearl Conard Gallery on the Ohio State University Mansfield Campus from Monday September 28 – Friday October 30. The closing reception with performances took place the evening of October 30 from 7:00pm – 9:00pm.
The exhibition explored the theme of INTERVENTIONS. The exhibition included artists’ works that explored: how scientific methodology intervenes between art and science or inversely; how art concepts contribute towards scientific research; how technological interventions create artistic spectacles within the intersection of art and technology; the aesthetic discourses between the natural and technological-“unnatural”; and how artists can use technological interventions in which organic things integrate with inorganic mechanical systems and interspecies.
