SUNY Fredonia faculty member Jill Johnston-Price will be featured in "Lumen," a group art exhibition at Middlesex County College in Edison, N.J.

The exhibition will bring together a group of artists to use light as a medium to create sculpture that visitors are invited to roam among, around, and between.

The sculptures are created in a dark space and illuminated only by the artwork itself.

Johnston-Price’s installation piece that will be in the show is entitled Rheumers. The top of the structure contains wood siding with 6 peephole viewers; illumination is generated from each of these viewers. A looping, ambient soundtrack comes from speakers under the top of the structure, with the purpose of drawing the audience to the sculpture. Gallery participants are then required to bend down over the structure to look into the viewers, each of which displays a different looping animation.

The show is scheduled to run from Jan. 21 through Feb. 11, Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., in the Studio Theater of Middlesex County College.

The show was curated by Asha Ganpat and features 13 other artists, in addition to Johnston-Price; it is free and open to the public.

Johnston-Price is an assistant professor in SUNY Fredonia’s department of Visual Arts and New Media and is responsible for introducing the animation and illustration curriculum to the department. Her eleven independent films, including seven animations, have screened at international festivals in Australia, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Korea, Turkey, and New Zealand, as well as numerous national festivals and exhibitions. She received her Masters of Fine Art in Cinematography from the University of South Florida.
