麻豆破解版

Skaters, graffiti, and punk rock鈥攖hese are the elements of the underground worlds that permeate the works of Texas-born artist Bill Daniel who drove to 麻豆破解版 College on a visit organzed by Mellon Fellow Nicky Tavares and hosted by MDOCS and Project Vis. Daniel was based at Falstaff鈥檚 on November 4 to workshop and present his mobile photo exhibit, Tri-X Noise.

Daniel is known for his experimental documentary films, photography and installation art projects. During the workshop, he led student, faculty and community participants through a maze of his photography of the underground punk scene while discussing his own experiences of being immersed in this hidden world. Visitors to the pop-up exhibit were impressed by Daniel鈥檚 presentation method.

鈥淔or me, being a photographer, a curatorial lover and a frequent traveler, it was a very inspiring experience to work with Bill [because] he combines all of those fields into a fun project,鈥� stated Evian Pan '17, who helped Daniel mount the show.

Daniel鈥檚 pop-up exhibit definitely deviates from the standard gallery art show, and combined with the custom shadowy lighting setup, reflected the unconventional nature of his work. No two of his exhibits are alike, each one features a selection of photos slightly catered to the crowd and the display is transformed organically by each space.
