Mark McLeod Art Exhibit Walking Into Western Illinois Art Gallery
Tennessee artist Mark Mcleod will have his solo exhibition, “I only went out for a walk,” on display through Thursday, Sept. 16 at the Western 
Illinois University Art Gallery.
A reception for the artist will be held from 4:30-6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 16, and the artist will speak about his work at 5 p.m.
Mark Mcleod is an associate professor of art and design at Middle Tennessee State University, with research interests in the fallibility of memory and the use of new technology in the creation of sculptural works. Before moving to MTSU he served for 10 years as the only full-time art faculty at Cleveland State Community College, where he was awarded 12 grants to support both his own works of art and the self-directed international artist residency, “Accessibility.”
Having earned an MFA in sculpture from Syracuse University, Mcleod’s’s most recent work makes use of digital and CNC technologies to create layered sculptural drawings. These works explore the error prone and ever changing nature of memory, and how these glitches affect the ways in which we come to understand ourselves.
Admission is free and the exhibit is open to the public. Visitors are expected to be vaccinated and masks are required
