ITP Alumna Camille Utterback Fall 2015

Camille will be participating in NEAT: New Experiments in Art and Technology at the Contemporary Jewish Museum (CJM). The exhibition runs from October 15, 2015 through January 17, 2016. 

Camille has produced a new work, Entangled, for the exhibition. In this dual projection installation, Camille continues to explore our embodied relationship to technology by creating a unique physical scenario where participants interact with the projected imagery and each other through a set of translucent scrims.

NEAT features nine Bay Area artists, representing three generations of practitioners including Jim Campbell, Paul DeMarinis, Gabriel Dunne with Vishal K Dar, Mary Franck, Alan Rath, Paolo Salvagione, Micah Elizabeth Scott, Scott Snibbe, and Camille Utterback. 

The CJM’s Chief Curator Renny Pritikin with consultation from Paolo Salvagione, has curated NEAT: New Experiments in Art and Technology, to acknowledge the seminal 1960s Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) program and to celebrate the Bay Area’s leading role in bringing digital innovation into the fine arts. 

In conjunction with the exhibition, Camille and her work will be featured in two additional public programs:

Pilchuck Residency

Glass, glass, glass! Camille spent the second half of June as an Artist-In-Residence at the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Washington. Pilchuck invites artists who do not typically work with glass and supports them in two weeks of creative exploration using this medium. Camille’s experiments involved creating kiln cast glass blocks, and blown objects and vessels for a variety of projection experiments. Creating and embedding different opaque surfaces inside glass objects creates new sculptural possibilities for Camille’s projection work and she is excited to keep exploring in this vein. Thank you to the Pilchuck artists and staff for this revelatory experience.
