Dejan Mraovic: Graphic Ambassadors of a Country (Redesign of Serbian Banknotes and Coins in Collaboration with National Bank of Serbia, Belgrade)


Dejan Mraovic‘s research is focused on money and the redesign of the Serbian national currency – the dinar. He considers bank notes and coins ambassadors of every country because on them one can read about a country's culture, history and nature. As a measure of protection for his redesigned currency, Mraovic is designing a completely new, sans-serif font entitled Serbiana. Serbian is the only language in the world that uses both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets: Mraovic has included both alphabets for this project. He believes that this unique, brand new font will contribute to the originality and beauty of his redesigned bank notes and coins.

OHIO UNIVERSITY ART GALLERY, Seigfred Hall
Graduate Ceramics Thesis Exhibition
James Tingey: The Materiality of Time


Utilizing the vocabulary of functional ceramic objects, James Tingey's work explores material and process as a vehicle to articulate the relationship between object and containment, body and environment. Contingent and varied, the surfaces of the works are record of the residues of process; materially containing the interactions of time and material. Through implied function and familiarity of form, the work resides between object of utility and marker of activity.

Andrew McPherson: Monies No Object


Historical science fiction meets Occupy Wall Street in Andrew McPherson’s work.

Casting placebos of officiality within themes of ethereal forces, this show inspects the fabric of the realities taken for granted.

Justin Como: Whole


Exhibition Whole is an interactive art experience addressing boundaries of the body, spaces we inhabit, and divisions between them as we experience the two.

A rain drop : the ocean; a speck of dirt : Pangaea; a human being...
