R&D –
Curated by Christian Wulffen
Each artist was asked to submit a highly portable work that will then be accompanied by supplemental material
that provides further information to the viewer about the artists and this network to make plain the often-tangled webs
that weave together artists and artistic practice outside of the gallery walls.
SPACELab – USNEWS by Royden Watson
Watson’s project involves paper printed with the outline of the United States onto which drops of pigmented liquid will be regularly dripped onto
key locations on the map, allowing the drops to seep into and across the paper. Each drop signifies a political issue and their hotbeds of activity.
Over the course of the exhibition, as colors mix and layer, America will literally be “browned” while issues are raised and illustrated for the audience.
SWAP – Capitalism Works For Me! by
Capitalism Works for Me! is a 20-foot long lighted sign that allows viewers to vote “true” or “false’ through a kiosk and accompanying LED scoreboard.
The sign will first be shown at SPACES and travel around Cleveland before touring to Boston, Santa Fe, Los Angeles and other cities in the U.S.

Scott Westhoven is looking to fill a photographer position as soon as possible. I believe the position will continue throughout the academic year. If you already have a student job, the hours will not affect the 20hr cap because it’s considered a separate entity from the college as far as employees are concerned. Responsibilities include taking photos at events and for promotional material. Thomas Dang is currently the graphic designer for the rec and would like to work closely with the photography to advance the brand of the rec center. Interested students can apply and submit their resume using the following link.
