August 13th-October 8th 2009
Curated by Andrew Mount
Dowd Gallery is proud to present “Unexpected Weight Loss’, a solo show by Richard Jochum. Jochum makes conceptual artworks, often in series, that are beguiling in their immediacy. Through the clever combinations of particular materials, titles, physicality and emotionality, Jochum’s work finds a way to connect with his viewers.
The variety of media employed by Jochum is matched by the heterogeneous themes and content dealt with through the work. Jochum navigates video, sculpture, photography, web-based art and participatory projects to research memory, futility, tension, collaboration, sentimentality, color, materials, scale, serial production and presence.
This show includes two works that are participatory, meaning that the public is invited to come to the gallery whenever they can to participate in the work.

This exhibition includes a workshop, to be led by Richard Jochum, on Sept 23, 2009.
*As noted above, this exhibition will have a Closing Reception due to its summer opening date. This is in an effort to include the maximum number of faculty and students in the events of the gallery. The reception will be held in the gallery on Oct 8, 2009, from 5-7pm.
