Rhonda Vanover: Between Here and Gone
These photographs present a sublime finish to what has been taken away. My mark making invites the viewer to see what I see: beauty at its end. This revolving door is one of continuous loss: a willingness to give in and succumb to the end. My photographs, while not inviting in the conventional sense, are an invitation nonetheless.
I am intrigued by the mundane and the unusual. How object and body are defined. I look at the everyday life that goes by, eventually ending in our own mortality. My interest is to persuade the viewer into this act of looking. To see the essence of what is left behind, oscillating between the real and the memorial.
Combining photographs and installation techniques I seek to create an unresolved tension between presence of object and absence of being. These intentionally disorienting, introspective, and visceral pieces continue the questions I always seek to ask.

Jeanne Roderick: The Space Between
I am interested in the way looking and seeing work, how viewers bring narratives to their way of looking. The objects I make seek to destabilize expectations of what people imagine or want art works to be. My current work is about how meaning is made, knowledge is transmitted and the relationship of art to culture. Culture is shaped by the structures developed to support our values, including language.
Books and works of art, both considered objects of knowledge in the past, now exist in a digitally connected world chiefly as objects of the search. The current bewildering combination of words and images heaped upon us daily reflect how historical distinctions between art and media and culture are dissolving. Language in this zone is rendered mute and representation is erased and textual structures reduced to blind alleyways.
My work asks that a viewer look closely and spend time with objects that are both recognizable and foreign, formal and narrative, ancient and contemporary while observing the multi-dimensional, infinite spaces and surfaces that shift in color, texture and light. I want to invite the viewer to contemplate social expectations and the constructed “idea” of a work of art as more than the object itself.

Jill Sattler: Haiyan
Through storytelling my art crosses the threshold of animated space, watercolor, sound and community collaboration. I am interested in how we navigate the spaces where we dwell, both domestic and social. Animation allows me to critically investigate this orientation and explore how it affects our experience and understanding of the world. Such investigation not only allows me to analyze why we are oriented in certain ways, it also allows me to determine my own orientation. My art engages with the viewer through animated space to both define and redefine our habitations. I incorporate objects that tie together the threads of the philosophy behind phenomenology while looking at how we can understand our personal orientations towards the world and how we have the power to shift perception.

Using video, performance, and other media, Leung obliquely reinvents the war stories of our time. Pulling inspiration from objects, people, and writing that have been removed from their origins—through the effects of time, circumstance or historical violence—Leung recombines these parts to form new allegories that challenge the received meanings of his source material. A professor at the University of California, Irvine, Leung has exhibited at the Guangzhou Triennial (2008), Luleå Biennial (2005), Venice Biennale (2003), Whitney Biennial (1993), the Museum of Modern Art, Art Institute of Chicago, 1a Space (Hong Kong), NGBK (Berlin).

The Low-Residency MFA in Visual Studies program presents its inaugural lecture with the renowned abstract visual artist, Peter Halley. This lecture is in collaboration with Disjecta, and Halley’s exhibition “Prison” which opens at Disjecta on January 21.
About Peter Halley
Peter Halley was born in 1953 in New York. Along with a studio practice that includes the production of paintings, prints, and drawings, Halley also served as the director of the MFA Painting program at Yale University from 2002-2011. Additionally, in 1996, he and curator/writer Bob Nickas co-founded index magazine, a publication featuring in-depth interviews with people in diverse creative fields. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine, Halley ran index out of his studio, which became a meeting place for writers, photographers and people who were interviewed in the magazine.
Halley’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently “Judgment Day,” an installation of digital prints for the exhibition Personal Structures at the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011. Other venues have included Tate Modern, London; the Museum Folkwang, Essen; Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul; the CAPC Musée d’Art Contemporain, Bordeaux, France; the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art, Turin, Italy; among many others. In 2011, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, acquired one of Halley’s seminal paintings, “Red Cell with Conduit,” 1982.
