Tiffany Lin is an interdisciplinary artist currently based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her work examines how power is expressed through the subtext of American vernacular. Through a practice that spans drawing, installation, and social practice, Lin demonstrates how bureaucratic systems and language marks non-white bodies as conditional. How are identities and the desire for belonging exploited by both the state and private enterprise? In what manner are bodies valued or devalued in the undertow of commercialism? Utilizing both creative and sociological methods, Lin combines participatory action, interviews, and social theory to expose the political construction of identity and belonging.
•
Lin holds an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Illustration Practice and a BA in Gender & Women's Studies and Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley.
•
Lin teaches in the Department of Art at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as a Visiting Assistant Professor.

Eva Struble’s paintings deal with landscape through the lens of social, environmental and personal histories in cities where she has lived. Her colorful work undermines traditional viewpoints and modes of depth using oil, acrylic, screen-printing and textile media on 2D and 3D surfaces. She received her MFA in painting from Yale University and is an Associate Professor at San Diego State University. Recent projects have dealt with Southern California botany, landscape and the body and have been exhibited at Facebook in Burlingame, CA, the Wassaic Project in Wassaic, NY, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, and Hollywood Road Gallery in London. Her work has been shown previously at the Cleveland MOCA, at Lombard Freid projects in New York, and Angles Gallery in Santa Monica, among others. Selected residencies include the Vermont Studio Center, the Headlands Center for the Arts, and the Andratx Cultural Center in Mallorca. Her work has received praise in Art In America, The Village Voice, the San Diego Union Tribune and other publications.
