Cole Lu writes, “I believe that mythology is a gateway for introducing thoughts to an unauthenticated narrative, and I’m particularly interested in how humans perceive otherness through categorizing animals and monsters, this desire of ‘differencing’ others is very similar to Western constructions of race, gender, and colonialism. My recent work incorporates popular western folklore and literature (i.e., Beauty and the Beast, and The Magic Mountain) as a metaphorical and literal reference of a common of understanding regardless of the artist and viewers’ cultural back-ground, nationality and birthplace. Literature is often a fundamental component in my work, as is written text. I work in two ways: writing intensively and sculpting intensively. The title is often part of the making, either as conceptual infrastructure or the final frame to complete the work.”

The Clermont Ferrand School of Fine Arts(ESACM) is located in the center of France and runs a unique nomadic program abroad for its Masters students. As part of their formal education these students move between cities, allowing them to experience a larger, global ecosystem of contemporary art and culture. As part of this program four students and one recent graduate from ESACM will utilize a studio at Triangle as an international space of artistic learning and exchange. The ESACM MFA students currently are, Hippolyte Varin, Antoine Beaucourt, Jeanne Chopy, Jade Lievre and recent alum Kevin Desbouis. They are in residence at Triangle from January 12 - February 15, 2019.
