Works by Michelle Murphy and Angela Oster
Curated by Kristen Baumlier , Assistant Professor, TIME -Digital Arts, and Gary Sampson , Associate Professor, Art History, Liberal Arts, both at the Cleveland Institute of Art . Sponsored by CCF Innovations .
Philosopher Thomas Kuhn described scientific revolutions as transformations that lead us to see the world differently. Art is an agent in this process by allowing us to “become an inhabitant of the scientist's world, seeing what the scientist sees and responding as the scientist does” (Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions , 1962.)
Michelle Murphy received her BFA in photography and digital media from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2004. Since graduation she has been with RS Information Systems at the NASA Glenn Research Center as a Photographer, Digital Imaging Specialist, and Videographer. In Paradigm Shift , Murphy combines her interest and experience in contemporary art and science.
She uses a variety of objects (including screen-printed t-shirts for sale) and projected imagery to explore the world of genetically modified plants and animals.
Angela Oster graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2005 with a BFA in digital media. She is currently Editor of Ohio Citizen Action's website . Her cross-disciplinary interests are conveyed through a combination of drawing, animation, fabric, and sculpture. In her work for Paradigm Shift , Oster experiments with a comic aesthetic applied to scientific theory. She uses animation, sound, and other media for a humorous look at “matter organizing itself,” specifically relating to reproductive issues and evolution.

These new arrivals to the Cleveland scene and freshly-minted art school graduates feel the Zeitgeist of both wireless connection and iPod seclusion as they navigate through their over-extended schedules. They respond with a mix of organized energy and unsanctioned risk.
The sweet smell of sampling culture and its amalgamations that are not-quite-this and not-quite-that are represented in Mix Machine. These hybrid approaches stretch across disciplines reflecting the potpourri of fractured landscapes, objects and inhabitants of today's visual stews.

Photographs by Linda Butler, Daniel Levin, and Jonathan Wayne
curated by Tom Hinson.
Guest curator Tom Hinson has gathered the work of area photographers Linda Butler, Daniel Levin, and Jonathan Wayne, each of whom traveled to the gulf coast in the fall of 2005 in the weeks after Hurricane Katrina. This exhibition presents a selection of images from each artist: Butler's meditative black-and-white prints that make still-lifes out of tangled debris, Levin's panoramic composites whose disjointed assembly reflects the broken landscape, and Wayne's large color images that combine two or three square frames to present oddly peaceful compositions of the aftermath of the storm.
Listen to Daniel Levin 's recording of Gulf Coast conversations:On Thursday, October 12 at 7:00 p.m., Gary Sampson, dean of the School of Graduate Studies at the Cleveland Institute of Art and a historian of photography, presents a free talk in the gallery, "Picturing Katrina: Photography and the Portrayal of Disastrous Events." A seminar the following week at CIA continues the discussion.
