Where are the top 3 to 5 places where you\u2019ve had or currently have work? <\/strong><\/em>
\nManson:<\/strong> Chicago is a city that is very supportive of the arts and sculpture in particular. I’ve shown sculptures in six public art exhibitions hosted by Chicago in the last three years. I’ve also shown in Stamford CT, San Angelo TX, and Ames IA, in the past year. Commission work supports my studio practice and I’ve installed permanently sited works in Skokie IL and Chattanooga TN in the past two years. Tell me about the partnership with CU ICAR. What\u2019s the history?
\nHow did it come about? <\/strong><\/em>
\nManson:<\/strong> I began a partnership with ICAR with the Art Department’s foundations course which I teach. We sited different cardboard sculptures the foundations students created throughout the interior of ICAR for several years running. We also received a BMW car chassis which we had the foundations class collectively design and paint the exterior of in the spirit of BMW’s well known Art Cars. This chassis was exhibit in front of Lee hall for some time.
\nWill art students be a part of the installation? If so, why is it important for them participate? What will they learn?<\/em> <\/strong>
\nManson:<\/strong> There’s at least one student I may ask if the’d like to be involved in the install. Participation in exhibition installations is an important learning experience for students who will be showing their own work as professional artists upon graduation.
\nTell me about the math, physics, science or engineering elements that play into making\/installing the sculpture.<\/em> <\/strong>
\nManson:<\/strong> “Early Hatch”began as simple sketches, however to work out specific details final drawing were produced in CAD. The engineering problems involved in building this sculpture are not terribly complex. It is the questions related to the industrial and environmental themes of the sculpture itself and how the viewer relates are more important.
\nTell me about the sculpture. What inspired you to create it. Why is it significant to the CU ICAR location?<\/em> <\/strong>
\nManson:<\/strong> Automotive Technology has a tremendous impact on the environment, my studio efforts looks to both industrial and environmental interests, and I utilize industrial construction methods to create my work.
\nWhat have you done to promote visual arts and sculpture at Clemson?<\/strong><\/em>
\nManson:<\/strong> Atelier InSite, a creative inquiry course focusing on the implementation of Public Art at Clemson University<\/a>, is a course I co-teach with Dave Detrich and Denise Detrich. This course is about promoting visual arts within our community at Clemson.
