Faculty

Kyle Butler is an artist from Michigan currently living in Buffalo, New York. His two-dimensional work often uses contrarian formal systems, where procedural guidelines are formed and deformed throughout the development of a series. His subject matter has shifted over time: relationships between competing/cooperating painterly forms and manners of speech, the built environment and dereliction as societal barometer, and laborious mark-making as a record of agitation.

Taylor Dunne is a filmmaker, curator and university lecturer based in Colorado’s San Luis Valley and the Catskill Mountains of New York State. She has an affinity for photographic processes, amateur film, the personal archive, and the history of the cinematic apparatus. She uses these obsessions to paint intimate poetic essays that examine the interconnectedness of time, history and landscape. Her work strives to make visible underrepresented histories and to inspire citizens to participate in shaping future trends in cultural representation.

Pauline Gloss is a writer and literary sound-artist based in Los Angeles working in dialogue with the Text-Sound tradition. Her language-sound work attempts to dramatize and expand language in its timbral, rhythmic, textural, and meaning-making dimensions. Her current body of work is concerned with using highly reduced language to develop larger emotional and conceptual architectures whose stability is always in question.

Saskia Kahn is a multidisciplinary visual artist from the Manhattan Beach section of Brooklyn, NY. Raised in a family full of artists, including illustrator Edward Sorel and design visionary Fritz Kahn, she discovered photography as a means of capturing the quirks and characters of the quickly gentrifying neighborhoods of Brooklyn. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Brooklyn Rail, and The Huffington Post. A polymath from a young age, she has explored work in painting, film, theatre, music, and journalism.
