Brandon Boan\u2019s work has been shown in galleries all over the world \u2013 Italy, Russia, Brazil, Sweden \u2013 and across the U.S., from Portland to Pittsburgh, where he co-founded Tip Type,\u00a0an art and community focused linotype and letterpress-print studio.\u00a0He attributes his \u201cmulti-disciplinary approaches in art-making\u201d in part to his education here at UNC Charlotte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe art department offered me a unique balance of process, work ethic, and experimental support that has continued to inform my artistic practice for more than a decade,\u201d Brandon says. \u201cThe faculty artists, especially Roy Strassberg, Joan Tweedy, Malena Bergmann, and Ashley Lathe, helped create a very open and reciprocal link between the critical methods and cultural production of art.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has been invited to exhibit in many national and international institutions, museums, and galleries including the Carnegie Museum of Art where he made ceramic objects cast from museum maintenance tools (i.e. mops, rags, sponges). This work was exhibited in the Pittsburgh Biennial at CMOA. He has been a three-time visiting and exhibited artist-in-residence at Cose Cosmiche (Arthur Craven Foundation), Milan, Italy\u2013\u2013where he performed together with the I8I collective a multinational relay of audio\/video feedback loops on the topic of \u201cthe collective song voice\u201d\u2013\u2013 to excite the extraterrestrial mythos of human sorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brandon participated in the Department of Art & Art History 2015 Biennial Alumni Exhibition in September 2015. He was also named the 2019 Distinguished Alumnus in the Department of Art & Art History.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
