CURRENT RESIDENT ARTISTS
KYLIE PAVLIK
Kylie's art practice is centered around psychological and philosophical theories on ways in which the mind and body interact.
Much of her practice has examined how the mind and body accommodate exposures to violence. She is interested in mind body dualism, memory of traumas living in the body, and altered states of perception due to trauma. She is focused mainly in figurative painting, combined with elements of surrealism, automatism, and abstraction, striving to create "landscapes" that reflect material and psychological realities. She aims to explore how the mind translates memory of sensory experiences into visual metaphor and symbols, and how ideas flow through the body into the formation of physical symbols through the process of art making. She is interested in incorporating more music, sculpture, installation, and film into her process moving forward.
ANDREW MOUNT
Andrew Mount is an English artist and educator whose artwork has been shown in the UK, Bulgaria, Germany and USA. Mount’s artwork involves a range of media, dependent upon the needs of the project. His artwork includes Installation, Collaboration, Participation, Digital Media, Painting, Printing, Video and Drawing. Participatory, or socially-engaged art practice has become a centrally motivating element in Mount's work, and constituted his doctoral focus and subsequent academic research. Current artwork includes paintings that meditate upon the reification of signifiers within the empirical structure of finance (such as greek glyphs); an investigation into the assumption of divine rights, royalty and the dawn of capitalism; a collaborative work that uses custom software paired with anachronistic hardware to present an installation that recodes the aesthetic profile of current political events. Mount gained a BA(Hons) First Class in Painting from the University of Reading (UK), an MFA in Combined Media from Hunter College, CUNY and an EdD in Interdisciplinary Studies in Art & Art Education from Columbia University. He has been living and working in the USA since 1997, and currently lives and works in the Bay Area.
