Timothy BlumHalf self taught engineer, half wry sociologist, Timothy Blum fuses a fascination with machinery and science with his amused observation of human folly to create conceptually clean and physically blunt meditations on the social world. Both material and conceptual alchemy are central to his work. Lead turns to money, carpet into tongue, tobacco into a camel in the hands of this alchemical playboy. Blum has his BFA in Sculpture from the Maryland Institute College of Art and an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. He attended Skowhegan in 1993 and studied under Tony Cragg, doing post graduate work at the Kunstakademie of Dusseldorf, Germany. Timothy has been a recipient of the Jacob Javits Fellowship, the Virginia Groot Foundation Grant and, most recently, the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant. He has taught at the California College of Arts and Crafts and the Maryland Institute College of Art. |
