Sandy This workshop will be a collaborative event with Sandy Skoglund designed to provide an opportunity for extreme experience in the tradition of Happenings, Installation Art, Skoglund & Performance Art. The selection of humble, bright POST-‐ITS as the dominant material in this artwork sets the psychological tone toward the conflict between organization & stimulation overload. This concept is an educational, experiential event & not a final work of art. The purpose is to construct a framework within which participants can experience some of the aspects of the working process of Ms. Skoglund.

NATA Executive Board
CEC 230-‐31
Artist Statement -‐ As I go through my everyday life, I am drawn to seemingly uninspiring observations and experiences, such as watching a bug walking across a leaf, riding a bike, taking apart a machine to see how it works or pondering a question from my child which I just cannot answer. These simple occurrences inspire me to explore these ideas further through art. Through experiments with sculpture, installation, mechanics, electronics, computers, the Internet, interactivity, sound & video, I have put together a diverse body of work that revolves around my conscious experience of the world. All of these pieces have elements of humor, absurdity & the mundane. Many of the pieces are interactive, creating situations where the viewer becomes a part of the piece. The experience of the work is unique depending upon how the viewers choose to interact with it. I place common everyday items in situations that give them characteristics of human behavior. By merging new digital technologies with old mechanical technologies I animate these humble materials seeking to change their context. The resulting videos, sculptures, & installations are metaphors for various aspects of the human condition. CEC 201 Director Meeting - Advocacy: Mollie Magnuson CEC 205 Director Meeting - Member Services: Josie Langbehn CEC 209 Director Meeting - Professional Learning: Jeremy Johnson Director Meeting - Community: Stephanie Carlson-Pruch CEC 221 We invite you to join the conversation on Member Services.
