Professional Practice Planning: Finding the 5E model in your art practice

Artists and educators will learn about the science-oriented inquiry-focused method and apply it to their art process. Anti-disciplinary film-based artist, Ariel René Jackson, and sculpture, moving-image, and installation artist, Alex Goss, will highlight how the 5E model has occurred in their prior collaboration, Inside Out, to their current CATS+ Residency project, Onward. Attendees will be encouraged to review and discuss their own practice in relation to the 5E model.

They live and work in Texas and teach at Texas State University and at The University of Texas at Austin. Jackson is an alum of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Royal College of Art Exchange Program, and The Cooper Union. Their work has been shown nationally and internationally. arielrenejackson.com

Alex Goss is a sculptor, educator, and freelancer committed to fostering mentorship in digital and physical 3D and time-based mediums. Drawing inspiration from manufacturing waste, Goss creates projects that breach the logic of mass production by emphasizing unconformity and cast-offs. Alex received his BFA in Art from the Cooper Union and his MFA in Sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University. Alex has held solo exhibitions in New York, Baltimore, and Houston. Alex is a co-founder and organizer of Moonmist, an artist-run project space in Houston, TX. He lives in Richmond, VA with his dog Butterbean. alexgoss.net
