Leading is like an art gallery. When leading effectively you are showcasing your best work.

Opening tomorrow, the first of this year's senior art gallery exhibitions, Izzy Kolb: "What if I live life in all the wrong ways?" Exhibition: 1/23-1/27 Gallery Reception: Thurs. 1/25, 6-7 p.m. An installation of sculpture, ephemera, projected video and more. Artist Statement: Living in a society of oversaturation and overstimulation, the world can feel a bit loud. My process as an artist requires a prioritized relationship distinguishing my own internal voice from all other noise. My creative process, using self-imposed rules prohibiting social media use, revealed my long-standing dependency on this technology as a form of escapism. Through this work, I question the fundamental experience of endless visual entertainment, influence, and all-encompassing distraction. https://bit.ly/48vUJr1

Digital humanities projects can extend the legacy of cultural heritage in part by making assets available to new audiences. That was my goal in the recently completed project, working with the estate of Varujan Boghosian to process, digitize, and exhibit selections of the late artist's work. Varujan Boghosian’s assemblages and collages—sometimes whimsical, sometimes brooding, and ceaselessly referential—dissociate images, objects, and language from their original contexts to establish and explore new associations and meanings. Stephanie Zambrana and I were tapped by the late artist’s family to retrieve and transport the artwork under the stewardship of his estate from gallery storage at the Robert Motherwell House to storage in New York City. There, the team captured the collection’s pertinent metadata and made images of most of the collection. With the artwork described and documented, we sought to create a digital exhibit to connect Boghosian’s motifs with new audiences and elevate awareness of his contributions to the art world. Utilizing the minimal computing digital exhibition software Wax, and under the guidance of Bryan Zehngut-Willits we built varujanboghosian.com, which we invite you to explore Boghosian's artwork through! (It is optimized for desktop or tablet but is functional on a mobile device.) I am honored to have had the opportunity to collaborate with my colleagues and the artist’s family to create this resource. It was a great way to wrap up 2023! #digitalhumanities #digitalexhibition #archives #collectionsmanagement #exhibition #webdevelopment #minimalcomputing #art #assemblage #collage
