Faculty/Staff Detail

Jaroslava Prihodova, Art and Art History Department, received a $3000 grant under the auspices of the Conversation in the Disciplines Program initiated by the State University of New York. The funds will be used for an interdisciplinary one-day symposium titled “Beyond Obvious” set for February 2019 in Dowd Gallery. The event will include speakers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Nazareth College, Syracuse University and SUNY Cortland. The symposium will be organized in conjunction with a four-week exhibition titled “Hidden Beauty: Exploring the Aesthetics of Medical Science,” slotted for Jan. 28 to Feb. 22. This collaborative traveling exhibition was organized by Norman Barker and Christine Lacobuzio-Donahue, both from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The core idea put forth explores the aesthetics of human disease, both within and beyond the context of our preconceived social systems. The additional accompanying exhibition, “Beyond Obvious,” will feature three-dimensional works inspired by medical research and is curated by Prihodova.
