Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Nate Burbeck will create new paintings that explore various social underpinnings of local, contemporary culture through surreal landscape narratives derived from Minnesota landscape photographs. New works will be created and presented to the public in a local exhibition space.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Seven new paintings were created and a public exhibition was held at the Alice R. Rogers and Target Galleries at Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota. The project's outcomes were evaluated by the number of paintings completed by the artist during the grant period and by the successful mounting of a public exhibition featuring works created during the grant period.
