Artists Greer Muldowney and Caleb Cole will talk about their solo projects and publications-- as well as their collaborations.
--About the artists--
Caleb Cole is a Midwest-born, Boston-based artist whose work addresses the opportunities and difficulties of queer belonging. Using collage, assemblage, photography, and video, they bring secondhand objects and media together for chance encounters, deliberately placing materials from different time periods into conversation with one another as a means of thinking about a lineage of queer culture while resisting a singular progressive genealogy. Cole was an inaugural resident at Surf Point Residency and has received an Artadia Boston Finalist Award, Hearst 8x10 Biennial Award, Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowships and Photolucida Critical Mass Finalist Awards, among other distinctions. Their work is in a variety of permanent collections including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, The Davis Museum, Newport Art Museum, and Leslie Lohman Museum of Art. They teach at Boston College and Clark University and are represented by Gallery Kayafas, Boston.
Greer Muldowney is an artist, photography professor and independent curator based in Somerville, Massachusetts. Her work often tackles the relationship of policy making and how it affects landscape, housing and community. She received an undergraduate degree in Political Science and Studio Art from Clark University, and an MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She was the Regional Coordinator for the Flash Forward Festival on behalf of the Magenta Foundation in Boston, MA, and has served on several Board of Directors, such as the Griffin Museum of Photography, and the Midway Artist Studios. She is the Founder and Director of Undergraduate Photography Now, an arts organization bolstering the work and professional development of photography students. She has juried and curated exhibitions nationally, and currently is an Assistant Professor at Boston College.
