Mariana Smith artSmith is a master multimedia artist and Assistant Professor of Art at 淫性视频.  She works with transitory, in-between spaces (hence the exhibit鈥檚 title rooting from the Latin word 鈥榣imen,鈥 which refers to a transitory, in-between state), and, according to Smith, she 鈥渓ooks at the threshold crossings that demarcate the actual and psychological landscapes within the ever-expanding, dislocated 鈥榠n-between.'"  Smith explores and manifests ideas such as immigration and displacement through miniature paintings, architectural prints, and collages. 

Adjunct Professor of Art Podlesnik draws and paints, and he attributes these skills to his approach to photography.  He believes lenses depict perspective too easily, so he uses his camera to practice what he calls 鈥渇rustrating readable perspectival space.鈥&苍产蝉辫; In 鈥淎cts of Looking,鈥 Podlesnik emboldens his philosophy that photos are not solely pieces of documentation, but opportunities to comment on or re-enact perception itself.
