Future RebootCoordinated by Jeremiah Teipen, HCCC Associate Professor
The rate of scientific discovery has accelerated at warp speed. Electronic technology is relentlessly creating new virtual spaces, while making objects obsolete. Computer-aided engineering has utilized mathematical algorithms to change everything from what we wear to the spaces we inhabit. Meanwhile, the dark cloud of devastating environmental change looms large. With all these forces at work, it may seem that our current reality is taken straight from science fiction. The future seems closer than ever, and is gaining on us. Whether that future is utopian, dystopian, or otherwise may depend on the ability of the arts to make these changes understandable, personal, and relatable so that we as individuals can gain the agency to affect our futures. Artists have always influenced and have been influenced by their environments, cultures, and societies and, now more than ever, these are interwoven with science, technology, engineering, and math. Whether as a process or tool, a critique or a reflection of our society, the artists in this exhibition use science, technology, engineering, and math to create art that questions our current trajectory. The work in the exhibition asks viewers to rethink our relationship to these changes in both natural and human-made environments, and to each other. Before we can arrive at any answers, we must first create a path by understanding the questions. Artists include Meng Chih Chiang, Taezoo Park, Mark Ramos, Nooshin Rostami, Jeremiah Teipen, and Yaloo.

Each state of mind is irreducible: Spanish & Latin American ArtistsDineen Hull Gallery
October 13 – November 17, 2017
Curated by Ysabel Pinyol, Curatorial Director
Alexandra Fowle, Assistant Curator
Artist Reception: November 17, 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
When focusing on artists of Spanish and Latin American heritage, it is not enough to use blanket terms like “Spanish,” “Hispanic,” or “Latinx” to classify these artists and their work. With geographical and cultural breadth encompassed within what we call Spanish and Latin American “heritage,” it is nearly impossible, and quite irresponsible, to attempt to define all elements often identified with these cultures. However, it is important to understand and celebrate Spanish and Latin American heritage, and examine their roles within American culture. Understanding and celebration often comes in the form of art, and therefore, Each state of mind is irreducible: Spanish & Latin American Artists offers a lens into how artists living in the U.S. grapple with their roots.
For the exhibition at Hudson County Community College, artists based at Mana Contemporary New Jersey and Chicago will illuminate diverse ways in which U.S.-based artists allude to their Spanish or Latin American heritage through individualized practice. Each state of mind is irreducible: Spanish & Latin American Artists demonstrates ways artists can oscillate between cultures and/or attend to one side of their identity over another. When placed together, the individuality of each artist’s body of work evokes empathy as the exhibition, in all of its sums, reveals cultural complexities that are often veiled by blanket statements.

Mana’s community network began in New Jersey and has since expanded to include Mana Chicago (2013) and Mana Miami (2015).
