Jason Urban & Leslie Mutchler “Intermediate Geochromatic Studies”

New York Art Residency & Studios Foundation (NARS)

This event has ended.

A fictive academic course, Intermediate Geochromatic Studies is part of an open-ended inquiry into color and its representation in science, pseudo-science, and the spiritual. As part of a larger curricular sequence, the class explores both rational and irrational applications of color in the context of historical precedence and speculative interpretation. Special emphasis will be placed on geological matter as it pertains to the physicality of color.

JULMstudios is a collaboration between Jason Urban & Leslie Mutchler. Working in Brooklyn, their practice is project-based and research-intensive. They employ an art practice of pseudo-bibliology through the study of books, printing & publishing. Their projects investigate the evolving meaning of printed matter and the “sacred spaces” it occupies, always aware of the increasingly common shift from analog to digital technologies in our day to day. Their work has recently been exhibited at The Print Center, Philadelphia, PA, Center for Fine Print Research in Bristol, England, and SPACE Gallery, Portland, ME. Urban and Mutchler have participated in residencies in Basel (Switzerland), Cork (Ireland), Pittsburgh (USA), and more. Urban and Mutchler are currently Dieu Donne 2020 Workspace Residents.
