Track 16 Gallery, Santa Monica
The Artists, Designers, and Writers of Otis College of Art and Design
The exhibition, curated by Lisa Melandri, Deputy Director of the Santa Monica Museum
of Art, features more than 60 members of Otis' faculty. According to Melandri, the
exhibition is like a "multifaceted fabric interwoven with markedly different
aesthetic, theoretical, and functional threads." Represented in the exhibition are
painting, architecture, graphic design, fashion design, new media, printmaking,
sculpture, animation, public art, poetry, artists' books, ceramics, photography,
music, and digital art.
Otis celebrates its faculty on the occasion of its 90th anniversary in 2008.
During its 90-year history, Otis faculty members have taught and mentored
generations of artists and designers to enrich our society and culture. Many of
these alumni and Otis faculty have launched seminal movements in contemporary art.
