Faculty Campbell Exhibiting at St. Louis Art Museum

UB Art and Media Study Faculty member Crystal Z. Campbell notes: "This show is my first solo museum show and the premiere of my Creative Capital @creative_capital Project, Post Masters. I’ve been moving in new directions with work in handmade paper (thanks to Tatiana Ginsberg and Dieu Donne @dieudonnepaper ), hand blown glass (thanks to @jabari_o_band the Museum of Glass HotShop @museumofglass team, new digital collages printed on matter, and my latest film, Makahiya (produced as artist in residence at Light Works’ Urban Video Project @urban_video_project thanks to Anneka Herre)"

The show is curated by Simon Kelly: “Campbell’s work sheds new light on often overlooked historical narratives around the “underloved,” and this exhibition in particular focuses on the complex history of the Philippines. It provides a fascinating and nuanced interrogation of histories of colonialism, colonial exploitation, and ongoing attitudes to empire, nature, and the natural world.” This show is the final step in my Freund Fellowship which started last fall at Washington University. Thanks to the many, many hands and minds who’ve ushered this work along💧💧💧
