It was funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Ford Scholar’s Program, Vassar College, the Denison University Internship Program, and the Denison University Provost’s Office.
Engrams: Prints and Films by Ron Abram
Inspired in part by Abram’s recent travels in Japan. His work looks at the impact of Eastern and Western Pop culture imagery on personal and collective memory. Engrams is constructed as two parallel installations, one space addressing issues of memory and consciousness from a local geographic point (Ohio, America) and the second gallery dealing with those issues from a more global perspective of a stranger in a foreign land (Japan). In addition to a series of short films, the exhibit includes prints which combine intaglio, woodcut, screen-print and digital processes..
Events are in the Denison Museum in Burke Hall, 240 West Broadway, Granville, OH., and are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 1-4 PM, daily.
