Associate Professor Jon Swindler Exhibiting at Macon Museum of Arts and Sciences

Associate Professor Jon Swindler is exhibiting in “Emerging National VII” at Macon Museum of Arts and Sciences in Macon, Georgia.

Jon Swindler is exhibiting a new collaborative installation with Michael McFalls, Professor of Sculpture at Columbus State University, for the 7th annual Emerging Artists exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Sciences. This exhibition showcases rising stars from across the United States. Eight contemporary professional artists, representing some of the nation’s finest undergraduate and graduate art programs, will display works ranging from large-scale abstract paintings and mixed media installations to ceramic sculpture.

Four years ago, Jon Swindler and Mike McFalls started collaborating. They employ a cross-disciplinary approach to their art making that often results in an unpredictable sprawling arrangement that seeks to combine sculpture, painting, printmaking and other sorted media and materials. In many of their collaborations, remnants from the previous works are combined with elements from each of their respective individual studio practices. These combinations often reveal themselves as massive, composed piles of art material that serve as both repository and resource for their installations. As studio artists, Jon and Mike share certain inherent formal traits but widely differ when it comes to processes, ideas, and motives.

Jon Swindler is an Associate Professor and serves as Associate Director for the Dodd. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Printmaking as well as Studio Core. His solo and collaborative works have been exhibited Nationally and Internationally.
