The Department of Art at JSU would like to recognize Assistant Professor of Photography – Sarah Cusimano Miles for a recent honor. She has been invited to exhibit three of her photographs from her series: Solomon’s House, in an exhibition at Brown University in Rhode Island. This is a huge honor, so be sure to read up on the info about this upcoming show.
Excerpt from the show:
“At a time when natural history museums are moving away from taxidermy, there has been a resurgence of interest in popular culture—in Internet blogs and image collections, in fashion, home décor, and advertising—as well as in art practice. Dead Animals, or the curious occurrence of taxidermy in contemporary art surveys current artistic use of taxidermy through the work of eighteen artists: Maurizio Cattelan, Kate Clark, Mark Dion, Nicholas Galanin, Thomas Grünfeld, Damien Hirst, Karen Knorr, Annette Messager, Polly Morgan, Deborah Sengl, Angela Singer, Bryndis Snæbjörnsdóttir/Mark Wilson, Richard Barnes, Jules Greenberg, Sarah Cusimano Miles, Richard Ross, and Hiroshi Sugimoto.”
