Mark Callahan is the Artistic Director of Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE), an interdisciplinary initiative for advanced research in the arts at UGA, and serves on the faculty of the Lamar Dodd School of Art. He is a graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art and the Rhode Island School of Design where he was a member of the European Honors Program in Rome, Italy.
Callahan's work has evolved from a traditional printmaking background to experimental multimedia projects. He was commissioned to create a site-specific work for Video Culture: Three Decades of Video Art, a collaboration that joined the forces of eleven institutions in the metro Detroit area to examine video art and its impact on contemporary culture. His work has also been used in concert by R.E.M. as a large-scale video projection. He is the executive producer of AUX , a series of festivals and publications featuring experimental art from Athens, Georgia. Internet Soul Portraits (I.S.P.), a gallery of images created for the Web, is now part of the Rhizome Artbase at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York.
