![]() ![]() [9pm - 10 GMT] Active Worlds Derrick Woodham, School of Art, U of Cincinnati will give a talk on the topic: The Evolution of D.A.A.P. (University of Cincinnati's College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning)
The evolution of DAAP as an educational site and exhibition
world for sculpture.
Derrick Woodham first encountered Active Worlds in 1995, while searching for venues to
present virtual
reality models of sculpture on the internet, and has since installed models
of his own
work, and art and design work created by his students and other artists in
DAAP, the first
Active Worlds on line educational zone at the University of Cincinnati.
"I was born and educated in Great Britain, graduating from the
Royal College of Art in
1966. I represented contemporary trends in British sculpture in many group
exhibitions
which traveled extensively in Britain, Europe, the United States and Japan.
I shared the
Prix de la Ville de Paris award at the Paris Biennale in 1965, and served
as a member of
The Arts Council of Great Britain before coming to the United States to
live in 1968.
Since then I have taught fine art at the Philadelphia College of Art, the
University of
Iowa, and the University of Kentucky, moving to the University of
Cincinnati as Director
of The School of Art from 1980-95, where I am currently a professor of fine
art teaching
sculpture and electronic art, and investigating multi user interactive
networked virtual
environments.
"I have participated in many group and touring exhibitions since moving to
the United
States, including "Primary Structures" at the Jewish Museum, New York; the
National
Drawing Exhibition, 1969; the National Sculpture Exhibition, 1976: Pierwalk '98,
Chicago. One-person exhibitions in the US include shows at the Jewish Museum,
Richard Feigen Galley and J H Duffy and Sons in New York, and the Aronoff
Center for
the Arts in Cincinnati. More recently I completed two large scale
commissions for the
headquarters building of Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company in Ohio. I
began to model
sculpture on the computer in 1993, and plan to continue modeling and producing
sculpture based on these designs in the future." |
