Eden Unluata just graduated from the MA program in Interdisciplinary Arts here at Columbia College (Summer 2010). I had an opportunity to chat with him about how moving from his native Turkey to the US has influenced his art practice and career focus. Now 12 years into making Chicago his home, Eden has used the InterArts MA program to breathe new life into his work. This unique, one-year graduate degree gave him the tools to craft a coherent dialogue surrounding his take on interdisciplinarity: a place where art and design build up on each other.
Join us for a one-night exhibition featuring 10 interdisciplinary
artists working in a variety of mediums including media, performance,
paper sculpture, alternative process photography, and artist’s books.
The work featured in the exhibition focuses on the theme of identity
and various ways people identify. Audience response is strongly
encouraged and will become a key part of the exhibition.
Congratulations to Hale and Eden for winning 1st prize in the Digital Incarnate Student Response Show. As first prize winners, they will receive a $100 award.
The judges felt it was a creative, thought provoking and well-executed melding of the themes of Digital Incarnate and Fact & Faith, and a strong visual statement. They particularly appreciated the use of space and sound location, and the way the piece gave a very different experience from different angles. They also liked Hale and Eden's linking of religion, spirituality and commerce.
We congratulate them on their achievement.
