13 PROFESSORIATE THE UNIVERSITY DOES ART Truth in advertising department: Obviously, something in my earlier career in the academy grounds my admiration for university faculty who lead productive double lives as practicing artists and dedicated classroom professionals. The Professoriate exhibit showcases both of those lives in ways that serve to validate whatever bias I may have. For one thing, university art faculty are held (and hold themselves) to the highest possible standard in both aspects of their work. As creators of original art, they work at the cutting edge of technical and formal production. Their employers and their own inner criteria demand it. And in the classroom, it is their privilege and obligation to nurture other, usually younger artists: to recognize their unique gifts and aspirations, and to guide them in their development. Northwest Ohio is rich in university resources. The I-75 corridor and its environs are home to a large number of those resources. And ArtSpace is pleased to gather together 17 faculty members from their respective departments of art for an exhibit which showcases their latest work. As well, upstairs in ArtZone, we have put together a representative sample of works by their current and recent students. What better way to celebrate the dual achievements of these artist/teachers? As you see from this Guide, the works assembled demonstrate a wide variety of techniques and subject matters -- these artists responses to the creative urge in all of us, but especially urg-ent in them. There are oils, ceramics, photographs, watercolors, lithographs, archival digital prints -- all chosen by their creators to represent their most considered responses to the world around them. And let me stress urgent and considered -- on the face of it, an unlikely pair of descriptors. But there is no paradox: the urgency comes from the artist s soul and heart; the consideration from the brain and biography. Together, they make up the grounds of motive and execution. We at ArtSpace hope you enjoy and profit from Professoriate, that it offers you a fresh perspective of what is possible in the visual arts and a renewed appreciation of the wealth of talent on our doorstep in Northwest Ohio.
