Q+A with artist Sheryl Oring (The Truth In This Art Beyond : Philadelphia)
Sheryl Oring is Dean of the School of Art at University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Sheryl Oring examines critical social issues through projects that incorporate old and new media to tell stories, examine public opinion and foster open exchange. Using tools typically employed by journalists (the camera, the typewriter, the pen, the interview and the archive) she builds on experience in her former profession to create installations, performances, artist books and internet-based works that address themes of citizenship, free expression, first amendment rights, story-telling and activism through art.
In this episode of The Truth In This Art Beyond: Philadelphia, Sheryl Oring discusses the story being her works 'Writer's Block" and "I Wish To Say", the main driver behind her work, and what she aims to accomplish in her role as Dean of the School of Art at the University of the Arts.
