Gina Gibson, an artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University, became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Her work, UN/EARTH, explores the intersection of science and art. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, SURF houses experiments that enhance our understanding of the universe. The underground setting provides an ideal environment for experiments that require minimal interference from cosmic radiation. One such experiment is the LUX-Zeplin, developed in collaboration with the University of Michigan, which is the world's most sensitive dark matter experiment. Additionally, SURF facilitates experiments in biology, geology, and engineering.
Matthew Cortez is hosting a solo exhibition featuring conceptually driven artwork exploring love. From Cupid to parental relationships, Cortez acknowledges a lack of understanding and experience with love. The exhibition delves into the changing landscape of love through history, language, philosophy, and culture. Join the artist reception on Thursday, September 21st from 6-8 pm.
