Mimi Cabell trained in photography and the language arts; in her practice she interrogates “the image” and the different ways it is created through visual and textual grammar.

Cabell has recent or forthcoming work in Cabinet magazine, Prodigal journal, SaladePublication, The Broome Street Review, Manual (a journal about art and its making) and on Somesuch stories. Her collaborative work, American Psycho, was featured in Kunstforum’s fall 2016 ‘post-digitalism’ issue and has been available at Printed Matter in New York and Yvon Lambert Gallery in Paris. She has recently shown or presented work in Helsinki, Finland; Reykjavik, Iceland; Minneapolis, MN; and in Ramallah, Palestine as part of Shifting Ground, an offsite project commissioned by Sharjah Biennial 13, curated by Lara Khaldi.

SECTION DESCRIPTION

Studio: Design promotes multidisciplinary studio experimentation across an array of media and processes. Students explore the organization of visual and other sensory elements in order to understand perceptual attributes and the production of meaning. Using various methods of expression, students may create objects, spaces, and experiences that demonstrate their analysis of composition, color, narrative, motion, systems, and cultural signification. Assignments allow for inquiries into scientific, social, cultural, historical, philosophical, technological, and political topics. Critical and experimental utilization of design principles, which underpin all of the arts, are emphasized. Students are guided through progressive investigations, in which the act of seeing is amplified by the study of physiological and cognitive factors that generate perception. Examined subjects are taken through stages of representation, abstraction, and/or symbolic interpretation to reveal essential communicative properties.

Enrollment is limited to First-Year Undergraduate Students.
