Media Arts on Exhibit
Congrats to Joe Ceponis & Media Arts students/alumni featured: Max Donnelly, Aja’Laia Hamilton, Trent Reid, Madeline Delhomme, Aleah Hyers, Zelvin Collins, Masaaba Jackson-Shipps, Connor Mitchell
The exhibition is a collaborative effort from the art duo Generic Art Solutions (Tony Campbell & Matt Vis). This show will examine the power structures surrounding money and the trust that we place in those institutions. The artists will embed their art into the coin room alongside the Old Mint’s collection. G.A.S.’s have produced a musical accompaniment to the exhibition, creating a compilation vinyl LP album of money-themed cover versions of famous songs in collaboration with the NOCCA Music department, featuring NOCCA high school student musicians. This concept album will dovetail into the students’ course work in collaboration with their Recording teacher Joe Ceponis. The project will give students experience in creating and publishing music. Cover versions are opportunity to reflect on the past and the present at the same time. The power of music can touch us differently with each play and each context we find ourselves.
