The Artist’s Residency is presented in partnership with the ROBERT G. GRAVES FAMILY in honor of VIRGINIA G. SCHROEDER A collaborative exhibition featuring the work of Indianapolis artists Peg Fierke and Robert Eagerton will be presented in the Old Gallery. Both experienced artists who began their careers using traditional printmaking methods, Fierke and Eagerton have continued their artistic development using technology as a tool in their art making. Each artist taught at Herron School of Art and Design at Indiana University- Purdue University Indianapolis for roughly 40 years and have a common approach to making art: a lifelong process of exploration that lets the process, rather than a preconceived end product, shape their imagery.
Eagerton co-founded Transfiguration Press in Sarasota, Florida, one of the first printmaking workshops specializing in hand-drawn lithographs, etchings and fine art photography. Fierke has also worked outside the confines of academia, having developed interdisciplinary classes in philosophy and physiology and teaching in New York City, Europe, British Columbia, and Ireland. Both artists have extensive national and international exhibition records and their work is included in museum collections around the country.
2013 Martha And Merritt Dejong Artist-In-Residence Join Peg for a three day workshop in July, where the element of space will be the focus. The other elements of design are the means by which the space is articulated. We will discuss and investigate many of the strategies and devices the painter can use to control and manipulate space in a painting. Students can work in the painting medium of their choice on canvas, panel, paper, etc. Subject matter will be up to each student. It is advisable to bring any objects or other references to work from if needed. Drawings or paint-sketches might be useful for some. |
