Brooklyn, New York-based artist Laura Splan will present a visiting artist lecture at noon Wednesday, October 7, in the University Galleries @ Uptown Circle.
Splan’s work interrogates the material manifestations of our cultural ambivalence towards the human body. Her conceptually based projects employ a range of traditional and digital techniques. She often uses found objects and appropriated sources to explore socially constructed perceptions of order and disorder.
Splan’s work has been exhibited at venues including Museum of Art and Design in New York; New York Hall of Science; Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland, Oregon; and Nicolaysen Art Museum in Casper, Wyoming.
Splan is an artist-in-residence at Illinois State University through October 23.
