Talking Bodies: Eli Burke and Harrison Orr

January 7, 2020 to January 16, 2020

Venue: Lionel Rombach Gallery

Reception: January 16, 12- 2pm

We seek healing through the queer imaginary and art magic. We take pride in our true bodies while exploring our potential beyond the binary. We create work that draws from personal experience, dreams, history, and community. We invite you to celebrate and reflect on our individual and collective somatic experiences.

Eli Burke is an interdisciplinary artist who uses a diverse range of mediums including drawing, painting, printmaking, and installation working with themes of loss, identity, queer embodiment, magic, empathy and vulnerability. Burke is a full tuition Merit Scholar graduating with their MFA in 2007 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a current Ph.D student in Art and Visual Culture Education at the University of Arizona. Burke’s most recent exhibitions include Fleischer Ollman Gallery in Philadelphia, ACRE TV in Chicago, and Everybody in Tucson, AZ.

Harrison Orr graduated from The University of Arizona in 2012 with a BFA in Media Arts and is currently working towards an MA in Art & Visual Culture Education. He is passionate about both making and teaching art, as well as creating safe spaces of learning and creating for all individuals.

We were delighted to host the Visions Program from Scottsdale today with a series of tours and workshops with our faculty — and to show students what it’s like to be an Art Wildcat!

The program brings together 42 art students from diverse Maricopa County high schools for a yearlong series of activities designed "to cultivate artistic skills, collaboration and civic engagement," Visions says.

Opening speeches from Colin Blakely, (School of Art Director), Karen Zimmerman (Associate Director), lydia see (Gallery Director) and Ashley Rubin (Art Advising) welcomed students and gave them a glimpse into the workings of the school. Visiting Profs. Danielle Jones (3DXM) and Erin DiGiovanni (2D) and Assistant Prof. Nicole Antebi (IDA/Animation) held workshops, while Denise Angulo (Administrative Associate) and student workers Kayla Bradshaw and Alex Allen led the tours. Thanks everyone for an amazing day! (Photos by Ava Sheppard)
