Artist and Associate Director Faheem Majeed and artist Jeremiah Hulsebos-Spofford (MFA 09) receive Studio Artist Residency Awards from DCASE (Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events).
Collaborators Faheem Majeed and Jeremiah Hulsebos-Spofford (Winter, 2015) share a background in sculpture that has evolved into performance, installation and structural interventions. Majeed is associate director and faculty at University of Illinois at Chicago, Art & Art History, and Hulsebos-Spofford teaches sculpture at the Chicago High School for the Arts and in The School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Contemporary Practices department. The Garland Studio will become a laboratory, test site and play space for the development of a large-scale multifaceted project titled “Floating Museum” that promises to engage a wide variety of community partners.
