CADlabORATION 1.1 will be exhibited in Philadelphia, PA, during the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) conference in 2009.
On view in the Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Gallery is the multi-media exhibition The Means by Which We Find Our Way. Winthrop University Galleries is excited to be hosting this international exhibition which includes Department of Design faculty member, Gerry Derksen. This project, curated by David Gardener and Andrea Wilkinson, was born from a desire to bring the "wider design world" to Hamilton, New Zealand within the context of local surroundings. Twenty-six images were selected that covered local urban locations. By removing the textual component from the imagery, empty canvases were created. After an initial call for interest, design educators from around the world were provided these blank-images along with the "missing text" and encouraged to reintegrate the textual content back into the image, generating new meaning by the organization of the words or by including new graphical elements. The Means by Which We Find Our Way intends to spark discussion about colloquial visual language and to initiate dialogue about cultural residue how space and the meaning of words can inform design decisions.
The exhibit, Fuzzy Boundary, featuring
works by Michael Gayk will be on exhibition in the Rutledge Windows.
Artist and Instructional Developer at York Technical College/3D
Systems University, Gayk's new body of work explores the processes
and workflow of data acquisition from 3D scanning to 3D printing.
Within these technologies, Gayk is interested in the transformation
and mutation of the "Body" and its image.
Gayk is also exhibiting in the CADlabORATION 1.0 exhibition
in the Rutledge Gallery.
