About Us
Sarah Kanouse is interdisciplinary artist and critical writer interested in the ways histories, public spaces, and forms of citizenship produce one another. My recent work has focused on addressing and intervening in the formation of public memory, specifically labor history and Indian removal in the midwest, where I have lived for more than ten years. Additional interests include radical media, particularly pirate radio and self-publishing, cultural geography, and social movements. I currently work as an Assistant Professor in the Intermedia Program at The University of Iowa, where I teach classes on video art, art & ecology, and contemporary interdisciplinary practices.

Nick Brown is an artist, researcher and erstwhile timber frame builder. I am interested in critical spatial practice (the relationship between spatial theory and critical practice); critical race theory (esp. whiteness studies and spatial aspects of racial formation); the intersections of indigenous and Latino/a history, politics, and geographies; border theory; and social movements and activist art practice. I am currently a PhD student in the cultural landscape studies program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I also received an MFA in Studio Art in 2005. More info.
