Juan Juarez
School of Art
Associate Professor, Studio Arts (Painting)
Painting and Drawing Area Coordinator
The spectral quality of memory creates a temporal shift between past and present. Wrestling with his recollections of how things were and how things are represents hopes and dreams never actualized. The house remains stuck in time but moving rapidly forward through decay. Ultimately, it will disappear at some point in the near future. Juarez’s studio practice employs photography, painting, collage, video, installation, and digital mediation in broad terms. His role as a visual artist is to document-archive-translate. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums including the Milwaukee Art Museum (Milwaukee), Haggerty Museum of Art (Milwaukee), Palazzo Trevisan degli Ulivi &; Rio Terra San Vio (Venice), Aspex Gallery (Portsmouth), Los Angeles Center for Digital Art (Los Angeles), Everson Museum of Art (Syracuse), and Gallery 400 at University of Illinois-Chicago (Chicago). Juarez also participated in the Landscape Studies at Syracuse University.
