Scott Froschauer
Scott Froschauer creates playfully experimental art in eclectic projects ranging from large-scale work installed beneath the Nevada desert stars to street sign interventions.
Before concentrating on visual art, Froschauer earned a degree in theoretical linguistics from Syracuse University. Traditional art forms like drawing and painting were not his passion, so he jumped at the opportunity to join a friend at Nevada’s annual Burning Man, an event held in the desert that cultivates a community of self-expression and discovery. Using his engineering knowledge, he helped artists construct their designs in high wind conditions and at monumental scales.
Froschauer has also been inspired by how road signs simultaneously cut through a flurry of advertising messages while flying under the radar of the average passerby. One of his better-known projects — The Word On The Street — recontextualizes Department of Transportation signs to change them into messages of positivity. From a stop sign transformed to read “start” to one of his first designs — a yellow caution diamond with “breathe” written across it — each piece capitalizes on the power of street signs. The idea began when Froschauer made stickers, initially of his cat’s face or other amusing images, which he would place over the heads of existing crosswalk signs. Not wanting to deface key signs in his neighborhood, he later made his own sign and illegally mounted it where it stood for six months.
In 2017, the City of Glendale, California, put out a call for unusual art. Through it, Froschauer earned a commission to make 20 signs for various parks and public locations around the city. In 2018, the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC, held an exhibition on Burning Man art and included his signs. Froschauer also exhibited in 2017 at Brainworks Gallery in Los Angeles and in 2018 at the San Diego Art Institute and Grand Rapids Art Museum in Michigan.

- Jo Yarrington, Mute-Ability_Composition 6, 2019_acrylic, steel, player piano rolBy Jo YarringtonLocated in Darien, CTJo Yarrington’s photographs, prints, works on paper, glass sculptures and architecturally-based installations have been shown in exhibitions at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Yale University, Cornell University, the Museum of Glass, the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Artists Space, St. John the Divine Cathedral, Grounds for Sculpture, the Museum of American Glass and ODETTA, among others.

Yarrington is a recipient of artist grants and Fellowships from the Pollock Krasner Foundation, the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism. She has received Residency Fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, the Museum of Glass, the Museum of American Glass, the Bridge Virtual Residency/ SciArt Center, the Lucile Walton Fellow/Mountain Lake Biological Station, the Virginia Center for Creative Arts, the Anderson Center and the Ucross Foundation, among others.

She is a Professor of Visual and Performing Arts at Fairfield University and lives and works in New York City. STATEMENT In site-specific exhibitions, public art commissions, collaborative and individual projects Jo Yarrington has used varied combinations of glass, waxed surfaces, found artifacts and experimental analog photography to investigate the way we perceive – searching for, experimenting with and developing throughout a sensory-based vernacular. Her mostly translucent materials function as physical framework and symbolic membrane. Light, both natural and ambient, provides a kinetic or time-based element to her work. Scale and the integration of architecture are also pivotal components. In the 6-part installation for the two-person exhibition Illuminated, Yarrington continues her interest in the connections between vision, sound and language. In Mute-ability: Compositions 1 – 6, her title for this light-based comprehensive work, she combines the words mute and malleability. The work focuses on found piano rolls, a music storage medium, originally conceived as coded notations or ‘note control data’ for music produced in pneumatic player pianos...Category
