Work by Vicki Conley and Shannon Conley

April 8 - Sept. 13, 2024

Art and science have always been intertwined, and until recently, the ability to draw what one observed in an experiment was a primary skill for communicating scientific findings.  Science and quilting have likewise been connected, both artistically and technologically for centuries.  Flowers, birds, and other subjects from nature have been a part of quilts in the United States since the early colonial period, and traditional quilt blocks utilize many mathematical and geometrical concepts.

In the modern era, technology has made scientific documentation less reliant on traditional art skills. However, with the increasing complexity of scientific findings, the need for nuance in data interpretation, and the urgent need for evidence-based scientific dialogue, art as a tool for science communication and public engagement around scientific topics is more important than ever. This selection of contemporary art quilts by mother-daughter pair Vicki and Shannon Conley highlights some of their scientific priorities and interests, drawing attention to a wide range of topics including cardiovascular health, inherited retinal degeneration, ecosystem diversity, habitat preservation, and planetary geology.

Held on March 23, 2023, featuring the work of three artists: , and .

The show strived to illustrate the ties between the artist鈥檚 view, the writer鈥檚 voice, and the filmmaker鈥檚 perspective in the current climate of political upheaval, unprecedented weather events, and deadly viruses. Dystopia translates as 鈥渂ad place鈥� from ancient Greek, with the traditional interpretation of dystopian art forms as bleak warnings of the dangers of totalitarianism and how it leads to disaster. In many dystopian works, the viewer is presented with brutality or immoral circumstances that tend to offer an exaggeration of humanity鈥檚 fears. Dystopian narratives allow their creators to take threads of current reality and push them to their limit 鈥� apocalyptic climate change, coup, nuclear war, etc.

Positive engagement led to the machine staying longer than the show and Artists in Cellophane artist collective was formed to keep the project running. Now, as the sponsoring organization of more than 100 active machines in various locations throughout the world, the mission of AIC is to encourage art consumption by the innovative combination of art and commerce. AIC believes that art should be progressive, yet personal and approachable.

In our fifth year of this annual printmaking show, our curatorial team was the creators this time, with the installation of a site-specific, ephemeral work in the Norick Art Center for the summer. This team of artist friends, Alexa Goetzinger, Emma Difani, and Virginia Sitzes created and installed an environmental and ephemeral print-made sculpture in the gallery. Connect: Collect is a national print exchange for artists working with traditional, analog processes that annually seeks to connect printmakers across great distances. Each of the 30 printmakers in the yearly exchange is selected through the application, by the project organizers, to create a unique edition of prints.

March 9 through April 9, 2020

This exhibition features five contemporary artists whose work questions and extends photography in surprising ways. The exhibition鈥檚 title is a nod to the influential book The Edge of Vision by Lyle Rexer, which presents numerous artists working at the boundaries of lens-based practices. In this time of ubiquitous images and familiar pictures, these artists find novel pathways to meaning through invention, play, and subversion of the medium鈥檚 long-held conventions.

Regarding the Discarded 鈥� A Site-Specific Installation by Carrie Dickason 鈥� Sept. 15 through Oct. 17, 2019

Regarding the Discarded is a site-specific installation, evolving between September 15 - October 17 at the Nona Jean Hulsey Gallery of Art. Over the course of the month-long project, Carrie Dickason will work and engage with students of OKCU, in weaving locally scavenged and collected materials into a large, suspended, sculptural tapestry. Students are invited to bring materials that they鈥檝e found or collected, to be physically incorporated into the project. Weekly workshops will include fundamental textile processes that will be employed in the construction (and could be incorporated into student鈥檚 own future works), as well as conversations about the interconnectivity between consumerism and ecological systems. The resulting installation will reflect the shared efforts of the students and community of 红杏直播app City University.

Exhibit open July 8 through Sept. 6, 2019

Opening reception 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9
