“Graphic Interchange Format” is both the title and the substance of a new art exhibition at Denison. The exhibition begins with a gallery walk with curator Paddy Johnson at 3:30 p.m., followed by the opening of the exhibition from 4-6 p.m., on Friday, Feb. 18, in the Mulberry Gallery (202 North Mulberry Street). The event, sponsored by the Department of Studio Art and the Spectrum Series at Denison, is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be open from 10-4 p.m. Monday through Friday, until Friday, March 25.

This exhibition surveys a small subsection of fine art workers within this growing subulture of image-makers. Focusing on work that engages both the language of the Internet and fine art, this exhibition aims to articulate the value of the GIF in the context of the gallery. Participating artists include Duncan Alexander, Kevin Bewersdorf, Saul Chernick, Petra Cortright, Stephanie Davidson, dump.fm, MTAA (Tim Widden and Michael Sarff), Lorna Mills, Tom Moody, Marcin Ramocki, Ryder Ripps and Spirit Surfers.
