Clemson University in Clemson, SC, Features Works by David Detrich and Daniel Overturf

An exhibition of newly generated art by artists David Detrich and Daniel Overturf in the Rudolph E. Lee Gallery at Clemson University continues through Dec. 18, 2001.

The show, Allusions to Culture: Documentary and Revisitation, features art by Detrich, an arts faculty member at Clemson University, and Overturf, an arts faculty member at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. The art on view was produced while Detrich and Overturf were on concurrent sabbaticals and includes sculptural arrangements, ceramic pieces and photographs.

David Detrich

Detrich, a sculptor, and Overturf, a photographer, is an unlikely pairing, but the two have similar backgrounds. Both artists are natives of southern Illinois and first worked together as new faculty at Wichita State University in Kansas.

Daniel Overturf

Overturf grew up in Peoria, IL, and his current work, Illinois River Project, documents the people, places and landscapes of the waterway that stretches from Chicago to just north of St. Louis.

Detrich, who was born in East St. Louis, IL, says his work examines different points of reference, such as high and low culture, the humorous and political, and the modern versus the postmodern methods of art making.
