Jenny Drumgoole’s Digital Artist in Residence debut coincides with Main Line Art Center’s Happily Ever After Opening Reception and Artist Talks on Friday, October 13 from 5:30-8:00pm.

Main Line Art Center is proud to announce our 2017 Digital Artist in Residence, Jenny Drumgoole. Selected by Main Line Art Center's Artistic Advisory Board through a competitive application process, Drumgoole is a Philadelphia video-based performance artist who inserts herself into marginal spaces for pseudo-celebrity within popular culture. Her most recent work involves physically and virtually infiltrating competitive events with subversive art actions, which are meant to question our obsessions with celebrity, desire and the limits and illusions of individuality in popular culture. The 2017 Digital Artist in Residence is part of the biennial festival Panorama: Image-Based Art in the 21st Century, a Greater Philadelphia-wide celebration of photography and digital art, coming in the fall of 2018.

Telling stories leads to a deeper human connection. This 90 minute interactive workshop will explore the use of personal narrative as a means to call to action, convey a message, and invite others to listen and share stories of their own. Participants can create one original story or artistic piece. Discover how to use your radical imagination to work with others for justice and ecology.

This lecture is presented by the University of the Arts Industrial Program. Artist Deirdre Murphy and designer Scott White combine climate science, digital modeling, and 1930s car-design to create a large sculpture. Wife-husband collaborators recently completed the fabrication process for the 5.5 by 25-foot sculpture that has transformed their private and public lives and taken over their studios since they were awarded this major public art project. Join Murphy & White to learn how they navigate the design + build process, and hear their story about collaboration, working with local fabricators, as well as using traditional and digital fabrication techniques to create public art.
