 Angele Simione |
 Girls |
In her own words "Working from the feminist perspective that the personal is also political, my practice is an investigation into the issues of loss and identity. Whether expressed as text or image, in oil or in yarn, the work serves as a map and a diary of this investigation. It is an exposure and critique of my own questions and convictions regarding the shifting state of the Self and of the Other in contemporary society." |
 Marilee Salvator |

Marilee Salvator received her BFA (honors) in printmaking from Illinois State University, Normal, IL in 2000 and her MFA degree in printmaking from University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM in 2004.

 W. Mark Sutherland |
 W. Mark Sutherland |
W. Mark Sutherland is an “intermedia” artist based in Toronto, Canada. He studied at The Royal Conservatory of Music (in conjunction with The University of Toronto, Canada), and he has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from York University (specializing in Art History/Criticism, Film History and Theory). Sutherland claims “to make poetry that is visual art, visual art that is music, and music that is poetry — all of my objects, texts, performances, videos and audio - visual installations investigate the play of signs found in conflicting principles of authority between language, sound, images and objects.” |

The total pre-sale estimate, which excludes commission, was 16 million pounds to 23.5 million pounds. ...." Bloomberg 11/27/07 Standardized Tests Cheat The Arts "While both the Department of Education and the federal government identify the arts as vital to a good education, the grades -- and the standardized testing approach -- fail to acknowledge the central role subjects beyond reading and math play in a child's education. Arts education may very well be the 'incomplete' in these report cards.... " Gotham Gazette 11/26/07 Arts & Dollars "Some artists grumble at 'support the arts for the sake of commerce' strategy, saying that by trumpeting the economic-engine argument, the arts-for-aesthetics-sake notion gets rudely pushed aside." But those who make the economic argument are convinced that they've hit on the best way to get commerce-obsessed Americans to pay attention.... " Louisville Courier-Journal 11/24/07 |
