Public Lecture: Mike Cloud


Mike Cloud is a painter and serves as an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Art, Theory, and Practice at Northwestern University in Illinois. His artistic practice encompasses the expanded field of painting and image-making. He dissects photographic and painterly forms, scrambling text and re-aligning content to produce new breaks in legibility and new understandings. His work examines paintings as objects within a broader cultural system of objects, marks, symbols, motifs, and forms. His expressive technique blurs and blends elements into aesthetic compositions that interrogate the politics, contrivances, and language of painting and the artist’s complicity in its system of functions.
