USC Sumter in Sumter, SC, Features
Works by Doni Jordan
USC Sumter in Sumter, SC, will present the
exhibit, doni jordan: tomes, featuring works by Columbia,
SC, artist Doni Jordan, on view in the University Gallery located
inside the Anderson Library from Feb. 9 through Apr. 12, 2011.
Trained as a graphic designer, Jordan has long had a passion for
symbols, punctuation and typography. Inspired by an art exhibition
of concrete poetry by Italian artist Mirella Bentivoglio at The
National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, she expanded
her view of type beyond communication and symbol.
The exhibition, doni jordan: tomes, or heavy books, is
an exploration of typography and includes mixed media assemblages
using metal and wooden vintage printer's type, type trays and
found objects. The exhibit also includes an installation of portable
typewriters.
Jordan is a 2001 BFA graduate of the University of South Carolina
(USC). She was recently inducted into the National Association
of Women Artists (NAWA) in New York City and was included in the
2010 Carolina's Got Art Exhibition in Charlotte, NC, a
juried group exhibition of North and South Carolina artists sponsored
by the Elder Gallery of Charlotte, NC.
