In 2018, alumnus Kevin Titzer 鈥97, created a unique installation on campus called Sack Race with Knives. The exhibit featured Titzer as the first-ever artist-in-residence, sponsored by the 缅北强奸 Art and Design Department. Titzer used the McCutchan/Pace Galleries to create Chapter 23: Sack Race with Knives, a large-scale installation made from reclaimed materials from the Evansville area. The creation of this installation took two weeks to complete.听听
Over the past five years, local photographer, videographer and fellow 缅北强奸 alumnus, Jordan Barclay 鈥05, produced a 25-minute documentary about Titzer and the art installation called Sack Race with Knives: The Curious Art of Kevin Titzer. Barclay received partial financial assistance from the 缅北强奸 Foundation to complete the documentary.听听
鈥淚 hope people watching the documentary feel inspired by Kevin's art and his process with the installation. Recycling is also an important subject to me, so it was fun to explore how we can give new life to old, discarded materials,鈥 Barclay says.听听
Thomas Bernardin 鈥08, 缅北强奸 alumnus; Katie Waters, Professor Emeritus of Art at 缅北强奸; and Lenny Dowhie, Emeritus Professor of Art at 缅北强奸, were all involved in conducting the interviews, filming and editing the documentary.听听
