Alumnus Jeremy Hight Joins MIT Press as new media curator for lea and editor
from interview:
24700: Tell us about the upcoming exhibition you’re curating, (RE)Drawing Boundaries.
JH: Yes. I have developed it since early June and it now has 32 innovators in new media art, locative media art, mapping art and experimental cartography. It has the heads of Visualization labs in experimental mapping at Columbia and MIT as well as pioneers and leading figures in art. The idea of the show is to both show where we have come and where we are heading in terms of space, and measure creatively, especially in this age of GPS and Google Maps, etc. and how the borders between fields of art are problematic and can be limiting.
24700: You mentioned that there are a few CalArtians featured in the exhibit. Who are they and what works have they contributed?
JH: Yes! Very happy to see amazing work from people I went to school with. Laura Belloff (Critical Studies & Integrated Media MFA 98) is contributing her works with wearable sculptures with environmental awareness and semi-Dada commentary on social media. Lize Mogel (MFA 98) is contributing some of her amazing mapping work that raises key global issues. Douglas Repetto (Music MFA 97) has several pieces from his work running a lab at Columbia that show his range in building and in creating commentary in terms of place and measure.
