March 13, 2008 - June 15, 2008 This YAM-originated exhibition featured twenty-two works, including subtle features created directly on the walls, by two artists who work collaboratively and seamlessly. Rollin Beamish is faculty at MSU-Bozeman, and Andrew Schell is faculty at MSU-Billings. Both are newcomers to Montana from Ohio. While each piece was ascribed to one or the other of them, they reflect both a common aesthetic and common messages. All works were multi-media (carved paper and plastic, painting, video), combining traditional and hi-tech approaches. The messages included the hybridization of the human being with his/her technological environment, loss of self (hence, "I'm Hunting Myself"), and cataclysm. A custom, die-cut gallery brochure with comments authored by the artists and by Senior Curator Robert C. Manchester accompanied the exhibition.
