February 27: Mixed-Media Collages & Combine Sculptures with Preston Drum
Preston Drum holds a BFA from Memphis College of Art and an MFA from Minneapolis College of Art and Design. His paintings, sculptures, videos and interactive installations explore notions of memory and performance through non-linear storytelling. Drum’s work is often site-specific and collaborative in nature, framing the audience as a participant in the art. His work has been exhibited at The Minneapolis Institute of Art and The Walker Art Center. Drum is a member of the Minnesota based artist group, CarryOn Homes, whose mission is to raise awareness of immigration issues through the creation of artworks. Students in this class will experiment with a variety of media to create a multi-media sculpture that they can take home. Participants are encouraged to bring their own materials they may be interested in incorporating into the finished work.
