6/6/19 5:39 PM

The faculty are one of the most important stakeholders of any college. They are the guides, curators, interpreters, critics and facilitators for a student’s journey of intellectual and creative development. Truly, an institution is only strong when the faculty are expert teachers, engaged researchers and contributors to their professions. At Moore College of Art & Design, we have many talented faculty who are on the front lines, assisting us in furthering our mission to provide the most challenging and rewarding education to our students, who are planning careers in the visual arts. This exhibition represents the talents of our many award-winning faculty, who are scholars, practicing artists and designers. Their continued contribution to the field keeps them current in their own artistic and design practice, which in turn serves as a model for their students, inspiring them to use their education to enter a career. We are grateful for the hard work and dedication of all of our faculty, whose strong investment in the students’ success is demonstrated by the quality of their teaching, the depth of their relationships as mentors and guides, and the long-term impact on their future. We hope that you will enjoy this Faculty Triennial Exhibition as one example of their wonderful and important work.

Students from Moore seek to apprehend what motivates and inspires faculty and, possibly, to imagine how areas of research and creative inquiry influence teaching and learning environments.

As another university aptly invokes with its recent exhibition title “Artists Teaching: Teaching Artists,” a faculty art exhibition reveals and questions identities of artists and teachers and dynamics of art, design, and pedagogy. Every three years, Moore College of Art & Design organizes a faculty exhibition. If the commitment to make faculty research and creativity visible is inviolable, the process by which an exhibition comes together is often variable from iteration to iteration, representing the ideas of the current faculty — and the world at large.

Many – and different – viewers look forward to Moore’s Faculty Triennials. Of course, faculty members are interested in each other’s fields and a periodic showcase to present new work and emerging ideas. The Philadelphia community and general public come to see what Moore’s teaching artists, designers, and other creatives are making and thinking. And, significantly, students from Moore seek to apprehend what motivates and inspires faculty and, possibly, to imagine how areas of research and creative inquiry influence teaching and learning environments.

Often organized by a curatorial idea or concept, group exhibitions are standard fare. Yet a group faculty exhibition is both deeply intentional and inherently surprising. If faculty share common bonds of affiliation and involvement at Moore, the work convened every three years often represents vastly different ideas and sensibilities. Even when there is not a conceptual path or curatorial thread that connects all of work, there are harmonics of a community of artists and designers, all of whom teach Moore’s undergraduate and/or graduate students — and many who receive important support from the College to advance research and scholarship, teaching and learning, and conceptual and technical experimentation.

Enjoy and engage the range of work and distinctive perspectives in Moore’s Faculty Triennial while considering what it represents about time, place, community — and a particular relevancy and urgency of creativity in the 21st century.

The cartoon format bridges my interest in storytelling through images and writing.

I am interested in exploring the vulnerability and isolation of the individual in modern day society. My character Alice, struggles to make sense of the world around her and her place in it.

Alice was originally created in the 1980’s (1984-89) for the Philadelphia Architect, a monthly publication for the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The strip was also published in the Manhattan Comic News in 1990.

At the encouragement of friends, colleagues and especially, the late Tony Auth, Editorial Cartoonist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, I decided to re-create the Alice cartoon strip in 2013. Since that time, the strip has been exhibited in a variety of venues including the following: Art of the State: Pennsylvania 2018 at The State Museum of Pennsylvania, Art in the Age of Injustice: Women’s Caucus for Art; About Alice: A cartoon by Andrea Beizer, Philadelphia International Airport, Alice…a cartoon by andrea beizer, Cerulean Arts Gallery.

Carolyn Chernoff Graduate Studies Consumer Intervention: Patriarchy 2018 Mixed (paper, ink, metal: stickers and dogtags) 8" X 12"

Consumer Interventions: Patriarchy is a work of everyday art. MedicAlert does not recognize patriarchy as a life-threatening allergy, and yet most of us are dying from it. Using stickers, acetone transfer, and fabricated materials including custom-made metal dogtags, I ask, if there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, what does it mean to participate in culture anyhow? We buy and sell our identities intentionally and otherwise; what happens when we name our conditions and learn to leave a trace?

Jeff Dion Illustration Earth 2018 Oil on linen 52.5" x 44"

My painting “Earth,” is the first in a series about the five Chinese elements. The five elements are - Earth, Water, Metal, Fire and Wood, all found in the painting. The element Earth is thought of as female or Yin and is a time of centeredness, the harvest and seasonally; Fall. The fruits and vegetables from the harvest are by her side and the landscape shows an empty field with harvesting tractors in the distance. Symbolically as the painted leaves on the table cloth drop, they change from green to the yellows, oranges and reds of Fall. The symbol of the Tai Chi, (two fishes) shows a continuance of change and although Earth’s energy comes about most strongly during the Fall season, the harvested peach has dropped its pit or seed and a new growth is sprouting up through the shadowed floor.

James Johnson Photography & Digital Arts The term “Borrowed Scenery” refers to the practice of incorporating existing landscape elements into a composed garden. The title of this artwork was chosen because it was originally shown draped over an artwork by another artist. The installation format in the Faculty Triennial is intended to evoke the experience of parenting a young child, a nightmare in which the dreamer is standing without pants in public, and the Rocky sculpture just up the Benjamin Franklin Parkway at the base of the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The title of “The Past in Future Tense” is taken from an essay on Tout-Fait.com the Marcel Duchamp Studies Online Journal.

The essay refers to a conversation between Duchamp and John Cage about the use of chance operations in each of their artworks.

This piece Overflow is motivated by my interest how our environment is polluting waters from streams, rivers to oceans. The various forms in this work represent my visual aesthetic as well reflect concerns of malignant invasion of our water resources that effect the living forms in and around these waters.

This particular body of works on paper comes from my long-standing interest in the need to reengage and immerse myself in the discipline of drawing. Last year, after a seven-year hiatus from teaching drawing, I was back to teaching drawing class again. Observing my students and the process of drawing, renewed my appreciation for the drawing medium in general and for the great beauty of drawing mediums, in particular the ancient and eternal medium of charcoal. Over the next few years, it is my hope to continue working on this particular series of drawings by further researching and exploring charcoal and pure pigments.

Maya Pindyck Liberal Arts Out of Lezley 2016 Gouache on Wood Panel 10" x 8"

Out of Lezley bloom the faces of the dead, and this elegy already fails—falls to the street. What can a mother say to a mother who lost her son, twice, four times—six bullets in his body, his chest filled with holes? From Nebraska, I call my mother to hear how my daughter loves but does not need her doll, a dark-skinned boy who smells of cookies & cream, how she arranges the shampoo bottles on a shelf by herself and smears this morning’s yogurt across the tray.

My daughter kisses her doll, calls him baby, oblivious to the fact that were he a real boy who will not shut his eyes when made to lie down, well then. Then what would we say of the difference between love and need? Out of wood the faces persist—one color bleeds into the next, and the dead, held in the air, hold us."

Out of Lezley is an elegy to the black lives lost to police brutality in the United States. Working from a media photograph taken of Lezley McSpadden after her son Michael Brown was killed, I render visible faces that emerge from the source material, medium, and a feeling of collective grief.

A painted paint can supports an angular view next to a blemished landscape. These works explore the relationship between object and image, seeing in real time and that which has been seen and whose layers exist in memory.

As portals through mundane architecture and objects, they seek to arrest and offer an opportunity for discursive reverie.

Pomerantz is a visual artist, educator and writer based in Philadelphia. Her interdisciplinary work in sculpture, site-specific installation, photography, painting, and public art explores landscape, land use, and the relationship between humans and nature.

As a plein air landscape painter, my job is to go out into nature without any preconceived ideas about how the picture should look, paint the scene before me directly, with the fullest energy that nature inspires. I am trying to avoid a "pretty picture," instead allowing individual plastic relationships to guide the construction of the whole. This painting represents the seclusion and intimacy provided along the banks of the Wissahickon Creek in mid summer.

This project considers What does justice look like in a world without police, without jails?

These questions are familiar to anyone who has spent time in Left/progressive circles in the last decade but it’s also a question urgently pondered by right-wing militias and end-times “preppers.”

WROL IRL is a interwoven written and visual essay contextualized within a catalog of other art projects dealing with the justice system that utilizes found and created memes to explore the visualization of these various strands of community justice. The project is ongoing and will take t he form of documentary video/audio and installation works in the future.

In prepper lingo, WROL (without rule of law) signals the shift in a doomsday scenario from mere emergency to a situation where the ordinary function of the state, the rule of law, has ceased to exist—a change of circumstance that requires a new survival strategy and a new moral framework . The online quiz “How Prepared Are You?” from the hit television show Doomsday Preppers begins by inquiring how many barrels of water, cans of food, and energy sources you have and segues seamlessly to enumerating your firearms, rounds of ammunition, and yards of razor wire . WROL is a fantasy logic that approximates a practical moral philosophy: What are you prepared to do in the face of transgressions against you? What will you do to protect your own safety, your community’s safety, your community’s resources?

WROL imagines a transition to statelessness that works like a light switch, from on to off . In case of emergency, break out alternative moral framework . But in real life, the absence of rule of law—or at least a compromised faith in the police’s ability to uphold the law—is already here, just spread out unevenly . NAACP co-founder Ida B . Wells famously wrote in the 1892 pamphlet Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases that “a Winchester rifle should have a place of honor in every black home, and it should be used for that protection which the law refuses to give .”

One mainstream Western political tradition, proposed by Hobbes and elaborated by Weber, commonly understands the “monopoly on legitimate violence” as one of the fundamental features of the state . This monopoly is what protects us from random violence and the tyranny of “might makes right .” It allows us to exit the cycle of retribution and devote our energies to more productive enterprise . It is, some argue, the fundamental good that the state provides . But what happens when the state’s legitimacy, and the legitimacy of the police as agents of the state, fall away? We are in the process of finding out .

...

The ideas and approaches to community justice we are interested in are scenario driven—that is, they are not elaborated as top-down principles but imagined as specific responses to conflict . In some cases they are highly practical guides; in others, highly fictional what-if scenarios, and very often strange mixes of the two .

They are not political theory as Hobbes or Locke might have written it, but they imply serious ideas about the role of the state, the obligations of a community towards strangers, and what constitutes an appropriate use of violence .

wild . We hope to offer readers/viewers a window into very different conversations about community justice, sovereignty, and life WROL . We believe that the growing appeal, legitimacy, and practical detail of these imaginaries reflect the urgent and current aspiration to build a world without (any longer) believing in the state .

Hostility to the police is an American evergreen, at least in terms of the counterculture .

But the heightened public visibility of police killings and the urgent social movement response has catapulted a formerly fringe idea—a world literally without police—to a surprisingly broad new audience . The public responses to the killings of 22-yearold Oscar Grant by an Oakland public transit police in 2009 and 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by a Florida civilian in 2012 quickly moved from local to national .

While fighting against police brutality was a consistent commitment of Civil Rights and Black Power organizers for decades, the more recent activism of groups like Copwatch and the National Police Accountability Project in the 1990s has built an infrastructure for today’s movements . Instances of police murder of unarmed civilians like Mike Brown and Eric Garner in 2014 led to a further widening of the awareness that many communities have had for too long—that police, far from being protectors, are themselves primary threats . From there, #BlackLivesMatter and #SayHerName became global movements . Pop stars like Beyoncé offered their platforms to the mothers of victims in an effort to highlight the social and familial dimensions of these traumas . In 2016, it was not uncommon to hear “police abolition” added to the list of possible solutions, next to “increased accountability,” “body cameras,” and “more training .” Mainstream publications like The Atlantic and The New York Times began running articles and op-eds urging citizens to avoid calling the police .

With police abolition come efforts to knit together and promote public-safety alternatives . Initiatives such as Cure Violence in Chicago, founded in 1995, have brought a public-health approach to the problem of gang violence, and entities ranging from the U .S . Department of Veterans Affairs to activist groups like Iraq Veterans Against the War (founded in 2004) have sought to address the impact that those suffering from combat-related post-traumatic stress can have on their communities when they return . The acceptance of concepts like intergenerational cycles of violence has prompted experimentation with new approaches to justice outside of conflict, punishment, and vengeance . Critics of mass incarceration have mounted an increasingly accepted analysis of the failure of prisons to reduce harm or produce rehabilitation and backed it up with rigorous research .

The text you are reading is a kind of literature review for an ongoing research project, WROL IRL, inquiring into the many parallel and intersecting strands of what we call “post-state logic” developing in the United States . This visual exploration of memes is intended to look at the process of creating and imagining possible justice systems, both desperate and visionary, as well as to look at the increasingly fragmented rhetorical framework of “justice” found in online communities of common concern . We want to engage the ways that ideas and attitudes are shared, amplified, and consumed .

Some of the memes shown here were invented by us, but many were found in the

Daniel Tucker Graduate Studies

Local Control is an experimental documentary about the political spectrum focused on the biography of Karl Hess. A former corporate consultant and speechwriter for Barry Goldwater, Hess later joined the ranks of Students for a Democratic Society.

He wrote speeches for New Left groups of the 1960s before beginning to advocate for urban agriculture and community technology, and later becoming a founding figure among Libertarians and survivalists. Throughout it all he promoted ideas of self-sufficiency and localism. In a time where our map of ideas has been turned on its head, this mediation on individualism and collectivism considers where we are now.

All living creatures share some form of living network, in their biology, structure and spirituality.

The human body has veins, arteries and blood vessels that carry the stream of life. This piece is meant to force the viewer to look at our own global multi-cultural reflection as a symbol of power and beauty, yet also belies self-destruction.

Matrix functions as a kind of opulent altarpiece, which depicts a repetition of a singular mirrored portrait, including lush embellishments and birds of prey.

It represents the ambiguity around power, spirituality, nature, and self-destruction. The hanging cords, which are stitched into the work, cascade down to the ground, and function as displaced umbilical cords, or arteries.

A design inquiry into the ring and its role as a signifier in the 21st Century. The ring has consistently been the most popular piece of jewelry. It has been said that the ring is "the article of jewelry around which centers tradition, antiquity, utility and symbolic meaning of the greatest reverential character."

Jonathan Wallis Liberal Arts A curated "mini-exhibition"

River of Inferno: Yiu-Ngok Yuen (1931-2009)

River of Inferno is a selection of paintings by the Chinese-American artist, Yiu-Ngok Yuen, produced during his final years in self-exile from his native China.

Aptly titled by the artist, the series takes viewers on a critical journey through the fallout from China’s 20th century political and cultural transformations. Guided by Yuen’s artistic imagery, we ride the tumultuous waves like Dante who, in his Divine Comedy, is led by the poet Virgil over the River Styx. Tragically, the immoral circles of Dante’s Inferno echo all too clearly in the subjects and layers of history embedded in Yuen’s neo-expressionist paintings.
