ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
Although NICOLAS AFRICANO’s work displays an air of classicism in its human subject matter, it is a contemporary reflection on figurative representation. His kiln-cast sculptures are as much about identity and gender roles as they are about beauty in its most sincere form. While graceful repose and anatomical accuracy motivate the visual essence of Africano’s sculpture, his interest resides in the hidden—what cannot be told and what seems unspeakable. Africano has an exhibition record that extends over several decades and has shown in many notable galleries. His work is held in the permanent collections, including the de Young Museum in San Francisco, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and Neuegalerie-Sammlung Ludwig in Aachen, Germany.
In thirty-five years as an artist, JAMES DRAKE has worked in video, photography, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking. His work tensely explores the liminal, or the threshold of boundaries, and the animal nature of human behavior, contrasting the forces of savagery and sympathy. He has had more than sixty solo shows and participated in prestigious group exhibitions, including the 2000 Whitney Biennial and the 2007 Venice Biennale. Drake is the recipient of a Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, a Nancy Graves Award for Visual Arts, and two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. His work is in more than thirty museum collections, including those of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Whitney Museum of Art.

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE JEFFREY MONGRAIN’s meticulously crafted
and arranged sculpture informs the symbolism a viewer may perceive in everyday objects. A Night’s Breath, a sculptural pillow form based on European cryptal statuary, holds the bowl-like impression of a resting head. Within that impression lie nine and a half ounces of water, the amount of moisture a man respires over eight hours of sleep. Scientific findings and religious philosophy are the conceptual foundations of the work Mongrain exhibited at the 2011 Incheon Museum Biennial in Gyeonggi-do, Korea, and the 2011 Museum of Modern Art Bienniale in Ljubljana, Slovenia. His work has been reviewed in publications such as Art in America, ARTnews, and the New York Times. Mongrain has been a professor of art at Hunter College in New York since 1995.
Bridging the potential gap between design and sculpture, JORGE PARDO fused sculpture and cabinetry into wavy wooden cases for the 2008 reinstallation of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s exhibition Art of the Ancient Americas, a display of pre-Columbian ceramic artifacts. His attention to craft and his color combinations bring vibrancy and a sense of dynamism to the things and places that are part of our daily lives. Pardo’s sculpture and design engage viewers universally, questioning the distinction between the two and delighting the eye. His paintings, sculptures, and installations have been exhibited at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, among others. Pardo lives and works in Los Angeles, has received the Smithsonian American Art Museum Lucelia Award, and was a MacArthur Fellow in 2010.

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
ERIK & MARTY DEMAINE, a father-and-son
team, work across the disciplines work across the disciplines of sculpture, mathematics, and science. They are featured in the award-winning documentary Between the Folds, a film about modern origami, and together they explore the mathematical and sculptural possibilities of folding. Martin is the Angelika and Barton Weller Artist in Residence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an instructor in its Glass Lab. Erik frequently publishes articles on the subject of computer algorithms, is a professor of computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and became a MacArthur Fellow in 2003. Their origami was exhibited in Design and the Elastic Mind at the Museum of Modern Art in 2008 and is included in the museum’s permanent collection.
Few artists have had as much impact on the development of a medium as KLAUS MOJE has had on kiln-formed glass. For more than five decades, he has been an artist and a teacher, developing innovative approaches to the technical and expressive capabilities of fused glass. Moje founded what has become Australia’s premier center for talent in glass education, the Glass Workshop at the School of Art, Australian National University, in 1983. Inspired by light and landscape, his work is recognized for its richness in color and linear rhythm. Moje’s works are included in more than fifty international public collections and his contributions to the field have earned him Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Glass Art Society and UrbanGlass, as well as recognition as one of Australia’s Living Treasures.

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE HANK MURTA ADAMS works predominantly large scale with hot-
cast glass and mixed media, creating larger-than-life-size figurative glass castings with metal inclusions, site-specific architectural installations, including the Trojan Horse on the Pilchuck campus, performances, and community-gathering projects. Murta Adams received a B.F.A. degree in painting from Rhode Island School of Design. He teaches workshops often and conducts visiting artist projects internationally, most recently at the 24th Niijima International Glass Art Festival in Japan. Murta Adams is represented by Heller Gallery in New York and exhibits his work worldwide. He is currently creative director of the Creative Glass Center of America at WheatonArts and Cultural Center in New Jersey.
Landscape artist ANDY CAO is a founding partner of Cao | Perrot Studio. He received the Rome Prize Fellowship in Landscape Architecture at the American Academy in Rome in 2002 as well as the Loeb Fellowship from Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Cao came to the United States from his native Vietnam in 1979. After studying landscape architecture at California Polytechnic State University, he began the Glass Garden, a stylized Vietnamese landscape made of forty-five tons of recycled glass. Cao has completed design commissions for hotels, private residences, stores, and museums, including the Los Angeles County Museum. In 2007, he began creating permanent public art for a recycling station near Seattle; the work, based on an organically shaped vessel, will hold thousands of broken shards culled from Pilchuck’s glass landfill.

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
Seattle-based artist VICTORIA HAVEN’s recent work maps her relationship to abstraction, rock music, and the great outdoors in a wide range of media. Her 2011 show Hit the North comprised two separate exhibitions, one at Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle and the other at PDX Contemporary Art in Portland, Oregon. The two exhibitions coalesced into a single body of work referencing themes widely affiliated with the Pacific Northwest. Hit the North revealed a merging of material examinations and abstracted forms with text and cultural references specific to Haven’s native region and was accompanied by an exhibition catalog. Her work has been reviewed in publications such as Art in America, art ltd., and Artforum.
ANA MacARTHUR has been exploring the physical
properties of light since the 1970’s and is passionate about understanding its transformative nature. Until 2004 she was a partner in Aurorean, one of the few dichromate holography labs in the world, which she cofounded in 1988, distinguishing her as a pioneer in the field. MacArthur’s current work explores inspirations in the natural world that suggest ingenious uses of sunlight for generating energy. Utilizing holograms and multimedia, she brings together scientific research and ancient biological knowledge to posit a new energy future. MacArthur has exhibited internationally, and her work is found in collections such as those of the MIT Museum in Massachusetts, the Museum of Holography in New York, and the Sharjah Art Museum in the United Arab Emirates.

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
The photographic imagery and sculptural works of SANT KHALSA create a contemplative space in which viewers can sense the subtle and profound connections between themselves, the natural world, and the built environment. Her work is an inquiry into the nature of place and the complex environmental and societal issues present and visible in the landscape of the American West. Khalsa’s work is exhibited internationally, has been widely published, and can be found in many permanent museum collections, including those of the Center for Creative Photography, at the University of Arizona, in Tucson, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Nevada Museum of Art. She is professor of art, photography, and new genres at California State University, San Bernardino, where she helped found the Water Resources Institute.
In her mixed-media installations, photography, and video, MARIA MAGDALENA CAMPOS-PONS investigates how personal history and memory help form one’s identity. A reflection on her self-imposed exile from Cuba and her experiences as an AfroCuban woman living in North America, her work explores the socioeconomic and political complexities involved with her sense of place as a person of mixed heritage. Campos-Pons has exhibited internationally since 1984, and her work is held in the collections of institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the National Museum of Fine Arts, Havana. Her most recent exhibition, Mama/Reciprocal Energy, at the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery, features autobiographical mixed-media drawings that examine themes of cultural displacement in relation to the nature of energy.
