Under the guidance of chief curator and faculty mentor Mark Bradley-Shoup, UTC Department of Art undergraduate students Trinity Anthony, Cameron Clark, Bea Lomax, and Laura McDevitt provided curatorial support for the Illustrating a Point exhibition currently on view at Stove Works. The students received Office for URaCE support for their participation in the project.
Featuring several UTC alumni, the exhibition “is an attempt to examine the influence of animation, cartoons and comics by curating artists who employ a more playful and illustrative approach to image making and cover subject matter ranging from environmental degradation, social injustice, racial inequality, body image, absurdity, and playfulness.”
Anthony, Clark, Lomax, and McDevitt created the exhibition catalog, featuring an essay by Anthony “contextualizing the evolution of Illustration from its inception to its contemporary, collective practice; turning Illustration into a tool for enacting social change.”
Illustrating a Point is on view through September 20 at Stove Works, 1250 E. 13th St, Chattanooga.
