Across disciplines and programs, Tyler's accomplished faculty have been curating and participating in exhibitions, writing and editing books and other publications, receiving recognition for their work through grants and awards, and more. Below is a roundup of their recent achievements and activities. 

Assistant Professor Corinne Teed has work in an upcoming exhibition, Transgressing Lands: Eleven Contemporary Artists Reimagine a Horizon, at The Boiler in Brooklyn, New York. The show explores the potential that landscape offers to locate ourselves in finite time and place, as well as reveal entry points into infinitude. Each artist presents their own stakes including the role of memory and collectivity in containing vanished landscapes; disaster brought about by escalating climate change, displacement, and warfare; explorations of mindfulness, presence, and care; revisions of colonial narratives; and aspects of entropy and renewal. On view February 28—March 28, 2024.

Erin Pauwels, Associate Professor of American Art and Undergraduate Advisor, has been appointed the 2024-25 Terra Foundation Visiting Professor in American Art in the Department of History of Art at the University of Oxford. Pauwels also released a new book, Napoleon Sarony's Living Pictures: The Celebrity Photograph in Gilded Age New York (Penn State University Press).

Philip Glahn, Associate Professor of Aesthetics and Critical Studies, is presenting at the TÉLÉ—>VISIONS 2024 conference (online and on-site in Paris), which focuses on the impact of technologies of ubiquity in the visual arts, on February 29, 2024.

Associate Professor of Visual Studies Leah Modigliani's latest book, Counter Revanchist Art in the Global City: Walls, Blockades, and Barricades as Repertoires of Creative Action (Routledge) theorizes artists’ responses to global inequities as cultural manifestations of counter-revanchism in diverse urban centers.

Associate Professor and Program Head of Printmaking Amze Emmons has an exhibition, Playing the Grid, on view at Brandywine Workshop and Archives through March 14, 2024. Emmons describes the Playing the Grid as a “[A]n invitation to improvise, wander and play.
