Joseph Mancuso and James von Minor

A collaborative installation by Joseph Mancuso (Houston, TX) and James von Minor (Baltimore, MD). As sculptors, the two artists seek out opportunities to create exhibitions together in which the individual pieces made by each of them and the ensemble as a whole are integral to the success of the final presentation. The artists prepared work in advance and traveled to Grinnell to create an installation which encompasses the entire floor of the Faulconer Gallery.
