Mel Chin was born in Houston, Texas in 1951; he graduated from Peabody College in Nashville, Tennessee in 1975, and later moved to New York City in 1983. Chin is highly motivated by social, political and cultural realities, and his work reects his concern for the environment and social consciousness. His work is often exhibited or installed in public spaces beyond the traditional connes of the gallery or museum. A conceptual artist, Chins body of work ranges from earthworks to animated lms. For Chin, art has the power to provoke greater social awareness and a sense of responsibility in the viewer. Through his community actions, he has engaged inner city neighborhoods and helped to rejuvenate local economies. His interest in science, ecology and the environment can be seen in some of his most famous works including Revival Field, S.P.A.W.N. and knowmad were featured in the rst season of the PBS series art21 (Art in the Twenty First Century). His most recent project, the Fundred Dollar Bill Project, is an innovative artwork made of millions of drawings. This creative collective action is intended to support Operation Paydirt, an extraordinary art/science project uniting three million children with educators, scientists, health care professionals, designers, urban planners, engineers and artists. After Katrina had wiped out much of New Orleans, Chin was invited to the city to see how he could make a difference in the community. Working with scientists, Chin found that the lead contamination in the soil in New Orleans was at a hazardous level. To nd a solution to this problem, Operation Paydirt was put into action. In 2013, once Fundred reaches its goal of 3 million artworks, an armored truck, running on vegetable oil, will pick up the drawings and take them to Washington D.C., where we will request from Congress an even exchange of Fundred Dollars for 300 million dollars worth of aid for New Orleans. 6

Robert Hite
St. Edwards Sponsored Speaker Born in 1956 in rural Virginia, Robert Hite attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond and the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. After studying traditional ink brush painting in Malaysia, he worked as a studio assistant with Washington Color School painter Leon Berkowitz. Informed both by a rich southern narrative tradition and closeness to natural environments, Hites imagery often draws upon his memories of youthful wanderings in the Virginia tidewaters. He has sought out and photographed rural dwellings not only in the southern United States and the Caribbean, but also in Central and South America, as well as Europe and Asia. Working within and between painting, sculpture and photography, Hites highly rened technique and meticulous attention to detail produce illusions that are both confounding and transformative. In the photographic series Imagined Histories, Hite resituates his architectural sculptures in outdoor settings, magnifying the effects of dislocation and displacement that is central to all his imagery. In 1997, Hite and his family moved to a nineteenth century Methodist church and parsonage in the village of Esopus, New York. Susan Eley Fine Arts in New York City, Cardwell Jimmerson Gallery in Los Angeles, Espacio En Blanco in Madrid, and Pearl Arts Gallery in Stone Ridge, New York currently represent the artiSt. Hite will be a visiting artist at St. Edwards University, and will give a lecture presentation of his work at the 2013 TASA conference. An exhibition of his photographs will be on display in the Scarborough Phillips Library at St. Edwards University. While a visiting artist, Hite will install a new sculpture specically designed for the St. Edwards Campus. A modest shack in Arrazola, Oaxaca, Mexico, inspired this new work, Crossing Safely. This sculpture addresses issues of immigration and border crossing. You can see more of his work at www.roberthite.com.
