Artist's Lecture: April 1, 2010    5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Student Interaction: March 31, 2010    11:00 AM-1:00 PM

Utilizing diverse elements ranging from Japanese pop culture and art historical references, to science fiction, Chinese propaganda posters, and real life experiences, Scarborough creates a pluralistic body of work that examines the effects of what happens when the boundaries of culture and context cross paths and erode. Working fluently in both photography and drawing, Scarborough is known for his meticulously constructed and detailed images of people and objects that have been fastidiously manipulated to reveal and deconstruct preconceived cultural concepts of beauty and perfection.

Chris Scarborough currently resides in Nashville. He has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Tennessee Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship. His work has been exhibited in New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, D.C., Atlanta, New Orleans and Nashville. He received his BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design and has been featured in Art Papers, Alarm Magazine, Hi-Fructose Magazine, NY Magazine and New American paintings.

Both events are free and open to the public.
