HEMI/MICA Extreme Arts Program Final Presentations

Each year, students from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) work with MICA faculty and JHU researchers as part of the HEMI/MICA Extreme Arts Program. Artists bring their unique perspectives to the problems and methods being explored by HEMI researchers, applying what they learn to their artistic practice.

This year, HEMI hosted three Extreme Arts interns:

• Shan Deng (HEMI faculty host: Tyrel McQueen, MICA mentor: Liz Enz)
• Mantis Harper-Blanco (HEMI faculty host: Kenneth Livi, MICA mentor: Giulia Livi)
• Lianghong Ke (HEMI faculty host: Paulette Clancy, MICA mentor: Jay Gould)

Please join us for final presentations from these artists on Tuesday, Sept. 26. Presentations will be held in Malone Hall, Room 137 and will be followed by a light lunch reception.

Description:
Books and zines create a tactile means to contain and share images, stories and even research. This workshop introduces students to several basic handmade book structures and teaches how to plan, print and self-produce inexpensive, yet intricate, themed books.
Students should bring along a digital folder of photographs, writing, poems, sketches, and anything else that could be used inside of a test book. Photographs from a camera phone will work great. Just have them ready on your computer, Google Drive, or emailed to yourself prior to the workshop. No solid plan is required beforehand, but it may help to have a small archive of inspiring materials on hand.
Please bring a laptop with Adobe Acrobat installed and an active Google Docs account to participate fully in this workshop. Both are available for free.

HEMI will be offering a variety of Extreme Arts Workshops over the 2017-18 academic year. These will be a series of art and design workshops geared towards the non-artist and taught by Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) faculty. The goal is to foster cross-disciplinary thinking and collaboration through hands-on demonstrations.

The workshops are free and open to Johns Hopkins University students.

Expectations

• Students are required to spend at least 50% of the internship time on the JHU Homewood campus, in a PI’s lab
• Students should propose a highly interactive project that requires various interactions with HEMI students/researchers
• The project is independently directed, and best suited for a self-driven student. HEMI faculty/researchers will not provide a project/brief at the outset, but they can provide guidance, insight, and suggestions at the MICA student’s request as their proposed project evolves

Award

The total award for this summer project/internship is $3,000. $2,000 will be granted to the student as a stipend that will also cover any supplies or expenses. $1,000 will be granted to the MICA faculty member for his/her time to support and oversee the development of the project.

The HEMI/MICA Extreme Arts Program is a new initiative that brings faculty and students from both institutions together to explore unique perspectives on extreme events.  The program aims to encourage collaboration among artists and researchers to examine data, interpret outcomes, and translate results from extreme events in new ways. It is our hope that this dialog will create a stronger community through a shared sense of curiosity and exploration.

We invite you to celebrate the launch of the Extreme Arts Program at our Open House: April 16, 2015 from 4:00 – 5:30pm. Registration is required.

Any images submitted after today are not guaranteed to be included in the Open House.
