Four years ago, Jon Swindler and Mike McFalls started collaborating. They employ a cross-disciplinary approach to their art making that often results in an unpredictable sprawling arrangement that seeks to combine sculpture, painting, printmaking and other sorted media and materials. In many of their collaborations, remnants from the previous works are combined with elements from each of their respective individual studio practices. These combinations often reveal themselves as massive, composed piles of art material that serve as both repository and resource for their installations. As studio artists, Jon and Mike share certain inherent formal traits but widely differ when it comes to processes, ideas, and motives. Some of the venues where they have collaborated include the University of Gothenburg (Sweden,) Macon Museum of Arts and Sciences, Boise State University, Columbus State University, and Lyndon Arts Center in Athens, Georgia. An exhibition is also planned for University of Georgia.<\/p>\n

Friday, September 20; Saturday, September 21; & Sunday, September 22. All are invited to the opening reception and artists\u2019 gallery lecture Monday, September 23, from 6-7:30PM.<\/p>\n
