"Our Future Exists Because We Have Imagined It" was installed at the Peter Paul Luce Gallery, Cornell College Department of Art & Art History in November and early December 2015. Mike worked with MY PHOTO STUDENTS from #104 Photo Imaging -- all 15 of them + Michelle Mouton's writing students.
Mike Bianco visited Cornell College for two weeks -- it was fantastic to have him on campus, in the gallery and with our students. Students worked with activist/artist Mike Bianco and created a wall of photos in the LUCE GALLERY at Cornell College.
My students were asked to envision their future - and in addition, I gave them several photographic assignments. Mike and my students did several workshops together. At the end of our block (3 1/2 weeks of class) we installed the wall of images my students created. They used all HOLGA cameras, black and white film and darkroom printing practices.
Professors Michelle Mouton & Sandy Dyas , and their photo & writing students gathered to talk about writing and photography they did in response to visiting artist & environmental activist Mike Bianco, and his challenge to imagine a Cornell College campus of the future. Environmental studies club likewise rose to the challenge and was awarded funding to begin working with the beehives on campus. Facilities workers planted a new swath of prairie on the south side of campus. Students are fired up!
Almost finished installing my students' photos from this block. A Studio Basics in Art called Photo Imaging. All made with film in the darkroom.
