Artist Paul Stout To Offer Lecture At Boise State

Visiting artist Paul Stout will present a lecture at 5 p.m. Feb. 5 in the Farnsworth Room of the Student Union Building. The presentation, based on Stout’s New American Landscape collection, is free and open to the public. Stout’s diverse work has been exhibited frequently since 1987. The focus of his most recent collection, New American Landscape, is “. . .the interaction of technology, nature, culture, and how we, as a society, use tangible technological explanations to describe the natural world.”  With this in mind, Stout creates an original artistic media from a unique pairing of contemporary technology and nature. He is the recipient of many honors, most recently a research grant from the University of Utah. Stout is a full-time artist as well as assistant professor of art at the University of Utah. He received a BFA in sculpture from Arizona State University in 1996, and an MFA from San Francisco State University in 2001. -30- Contact Richard Young Department of art 208-426-3561 Media Contact Kathleen Craven communications and marketing 208-426-3275 Bill Schnupp communications and marketing 208-426-3196
