Artist Initiative
ACHF Arts Access
To create a cohesive body of work on the scientific community in Minnesota, allowing me to propose similar projects to a national and international audience. I will produce at least twenty photographs documenting a broad spectrum of scientific research in Minnesota. I will make new connections within the scientific community and continue to expand my practice. 2: Engage this new work with artists and nonartists alike, and foster collaboration between the arts and sciences. Perform three public lectures, host one exhibition, and redesign my website spotlighting this new work. Opt for nonart venues (laboratories, archives, libraries) when possible.
Photographs about scientific institutions and research centers in the state of Minnesota were produced as a result of this project. Several cohesive projects will result from this material. Judging by the sheer number of photographs produced at the Soudan Mine, the Minnesota State Fair, and the Bakken Museum, as well as many other places in Minnesota, this project surpassed its proposed goals. 2: Through public lectures, performance, and exhibition, thousands of people were involved in and introduced to this work. In addition, the work on the revised website has been exhibited widely. Both the exhibition and creation of this work involved the public--both artist, scientists, and the general public. Attendance and background of the audience were both taken into consideration for evaluation.
