SUMMARY:EXHIBITION: Who I was\, who we are
DESCRIPTION:Who I was\, who we are will feature the latest work from Yvette L. Cummings in the Milliken Art Gallery. Cummings’s work explores the complicated path of youth\, beauty and femininity as expressed through the viewpoint of a sexual abuse survivor. “I am interested in the way female bodies are not autonomous; whether the victim of sexual assault or the governments constant regulation\, ownership of my body is not my own. I want to exert power back to the body\, regardless of gesture or appearance\,” states Cummings. Her paintings will challenge the viewer to move beyond adult experiences and remember the innocence of children. \nImage: Mother Don’t Worry | Oil on Canvas | 60 x 60″\nCummings is currently an Assistant Professor of Visual Arts in Painting/Drawing at Coastal Carolina University in Conway\, South Carolina.

She was one of 65 artists chosen for The Mint Museum’s Coined in the South Exhibition 2019. In 2020\, Cummings was shortlisted for the international Mother Art Prize and in 2021 awarded Honorable Mention for the Women’s Art Prize exhibition. \nWho I was\, who we are will run from September 29-October 20\, 2022.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITION: Future Nature / Content Aware
DESCRIPTION:Image: Untitled from the Future Nature / Content Aware Series Archival inkjet prints on Japanese paper 17″ x 69″\nFuture Nature / Content Aware will feature the latest work from photographer Aspen Hochhalter in the Milliken Art Gallery. This series explores how computers\, and specifically the Photoshop content-aware algorithm\, interprets and reconstructs partial panoramic photographs to give us a glimpse into a digital “vision.” “These photographs were intentionally taken in such a way to emphasize and exaggerate digital artifacts. In addition\, large sections of the panoramics were blank and the computer was tasked to fill in the missing information with its approximation of “nature.” The resulting images are composite landscapes of digital fragmentation\, disruption\, pattern glitches\, and digital imperfections created by the computer in attempts to reconstruct the missing content.\,” states Hochhalter. The images are “documents of hybrid seeing–a collaborative vision of nature through the photographic lens\, with a human at the helm and a computer algorithm completing the picture.” \nAspen Hochhalter was born and raised in Chipita Park\, Colorado. She received her Masters of Fine Arts in Photo Based Media at East Carolina University in Greenville\, North Carolina and her BFA in Photography from Creighton University in Omaha\, Nebraska. She is an Associate Professor of Art and the Photography Area Coordinator in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of North Carolina\, Charlotte. Her work explores the crossover between digital technologies\, historic processes and the use of experimental materials through appropriation\, self-portraiture\, and collaborative projects. Recent accomplishments include work published in The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes: 3rd Edition\, Focal Plane Magazine\, and Lenscratch Blog; a McColl Center for Art + Innovation Residency\, exhibits at Castell Photography Gallery\, East Carolina University\, Kiernan Gallery\, The Light Factory\, and many other venues across the country. \nFuture Nature / Content Aware will run from October 27-November 22\, 2022. Hochhalter will present a Gallery Talk on October 27th at 6:00pm in the gallery followed by a reception from 6:30-8:00pm. \nThe exhibition is located in the Milliken Art Gallery and is free of charge. Gallery hours are Sunday 2:00-5:00pm\, Monday – Friday 9:00am-5:00pm. The Gallery is closed during school holidays. \nArtist’s Website \nClick here for gallery talk and reception details.
