In April 2010, two Ohio and two Pennsylvania institutions created SculptureX – a teaching and networking resource and a promotional platform for sculptors, institutions and the region. The term “sculpture” is used to describe three-dimensional work in any material as well as performance, video and extended media.

Operating as an artist residency program since 1993, Art Farm offers artists an opportunity to live and work in a rural environment. An unusual and growing collection of traditional agricultural buildings and experimental structures provides accoommodation and studio space for artists. An abundance of materials (scrap and organic) and space, allows room for creative interactions between ideas and the environment.

The goal of this site is to establish a work-space that presents a record of my work with Saul Ostrow (and eventually others) as we continue to develop an alternative idea for artistic research as a means of knowledge production.

The arts and sciences’ respective relationship to qualitative and quantitative knowledge has traditionally created a distance between the two fields, inhibiting a sustained interaction. The intent of The Banff Centre’s Analogous Fields residency is to bring together scientists, researchers, and artists in order to explore, in theory and practice, the collaborative potential between the arts and sciences.

The greenmuseum.org, is a 100% volunteer run online museum of environmental art founded in 2001. Our goal is to inform, inspire and connect people through environmental art and encourage the creation of new work that serves communities and ecosystems.

The MAIV residency at The Banff Centre from May 12 to June 20, 2008, brings together a group of artists, writers, curators, and other creative and cultural producers to explore the relationships between research and artistic practice. Much has been said and written about research on visual arts, but there is relatively little about research for visual arts (the array of practices that both inform and constitute artistic production) or research through visual art (where artistic practice becomes a vehicle for producing and presenting new knowledge).

This site contains artist videos including collaborative efforts between Lane Cooper and Charles Tucker.

A course examining issues of aesthetic relationships and outcomes between art and science. This course was developed by Charles Tucker and Michael Bernard with an emphasis on the discursive nature of qualitative and quantitative information as a means of production.

Review of Disputa in Sculpture written by Siobhan La Piana

Four Institute faculty members will participate in Ingenuity's "Synergy" lecture series at noon on July 22 in Cleveland State's Monte Ahuja Hall. Gary Sampson, Chuck Tucker, Saul Ostrow and their colleague from Case Western Reserve University, Fred Collopy, will discuss how a multi-institutional graduate program in art and design would contribute to Greater Cleveland's economy and culture. Sampson is professor of liberal arts and associate dean of graduate studies at the Institute, Ostrow is chair of the Institute's Visual Arts and Technologies Environment and associate professor of painting, Tucker is chair of the Institute Integrated Media Environment, and Collopy is professor of information systems and cognitive science at CWRU.

Yesterday Saul Ostrow talked about how one makes sense of things and how he prefers talking about a rhetorical object and the research process and timeline that he uses to get through a collaboration. He is collaborating on a project with Charles Tucker, who talked about heuristic research.
