Boise State Professor Receives Fellowship

Boise State assistant professor of printmaking Kimiko Miyoshi has been awarded a fellowship from the Jentel Artist Residency Program. Miyoshi will be granted private accommodations, a workspace and a stipend to reduce living expenses during the residency. The program is conducted on a working cattle ranch in Wyoming for four weeks, allowing artists unfettered time to reflect and meditate on the creative process in a setting that preserves the agricultural and historical integrity of the land. The focus of Miyoshi’s work is to transform insignificant objects or mundane phenomena into seductive art works that challenge the hierarchal status of things and their socially assigned values. Her recent exhibitions include 70 W / m2: Remarks on Solar Phenomena and Sky in Water at Plan B. -30- Contact Kimiko Miyoshi Art department 208 426-1230 Media contact Kathleen Craven communications and marketing 208 426-3275 Bill Schnupp communications and marketing 208 426-3196
