CSU Department of Art Residency:
A Program for Artists and Scholars
CSU Department of Art is pleased to announce the development of a new Residency program for Artists and Scholars. The Program is offering two unique residencies: an academic semester residency that offers an opportunity to teach one course in the program, and a short-term research residency. The mission for this program is to support artists and scholars in their own research and to utilize their practices to enrich the Department of Art and the Columbus community.
The recipient of the 2009 - 2010 Residency Program:
Marjorie Vecchio, PhD (August - December 2009)
Marjorie Vecchio will be joining us this fall semester as the Visiting Artist and Scholar to teach, “Gallery Management and Curatorial Practice” and to lecture on several topics of Contemporary Art. Ms. Vecchio, is the Director of Sheppard Fine Arts Gallery at University of Nevada, Reno. She has curated numerous international exhibitions and catalogs including The Grotesqueness of Desire, Tracking (in search of objects), and Arranged Marriage - outer space(s), and was also president of Artemisia Gallery, Chicago where she was especially involved in the international exchange program. Her doctorate from the European Graduate School in Switzerland is in Philosophy of Communications Media, and she holds degrees from Bard College, Milton Avery Graduate School for the Arts (MFA), School of the Art Institute of Chicago (BFA), and Mount Holyoke College (BA). Her concentration is in the connection of contemporary art to other fields such as philosophy and the sciences. While in the program Marjorie Vecchio is planning to work on two books that Atropos Press will be publishing. A book about technology, health and mythology in contemporary art and a new project on the first-ever edited book of newly commissioned writings on the work of French filmmaker, Claire Denis.
Peter Dudek, (October 15 - 31, 2009)
