UND Art Collections is a campus-wide venture whose mission is to utilize the University’s art for education, research, and cultural enrichment. The Living Art Museum (LAM) plan involves placing artworks in various locations on campus.
The original prints exhibited in areas surrounding the Scale-Up Classroom were created in conjunction with UND’s 2012 Arts & Culture Conference: Binary Inventions, Art & Culture in the Digital Age.
The prints that were selected relate to a campus-wide plan called the “Living Art Museum.” The concept behind this plan stresses the idea of “relevancy” in regard to what is selected for display—as it relates to the concerns of people who are normally present in spaces where the art is placed. With this concept in mind, the artworks exhibited here relate to the issue of recent digital technologies that are available to “scale up” processes utilized in contemporary printmaking.
The artworks on display here were produced with Sundog Multiples—a printmaking enterprise operating as a joint venture between the Department of Art & Design and UND Art Collections, with generous funding provided by The Myers Foundations.
