The Cornell College Peter Paul Luce Gallery will present “Statements for Small Screens” by Michigan-based artist Lorelei d’Andriole from Jan. 16 to March 1. Lorelei d’Andriole is an artist, educator, and writer whose work is at the intersections of intermedia and transgender studies.
Her work is built on the idea that “fantasy allows us to imagine radical alternatives to the present, and art is the praxis of fantasy.” In “Statements for Small Screens,” d’Andriole will present a collection of video performances, sculptures, and interactive work.
She has shown work nationally at universities, galleries, festivals, and DIY spaces, including sUgAR Gallery in Arkansas, University of Nevada in Las Vegas, and Public Space One’s Open Air Media Festival in Iowa. As a production director for KRUI 89.7 FM in Iowa City, d’Andriole hosted an experimental radio art program where she did weekly broadcasts for three years between 2018-2021. In 2022, d’Andriole completed a visual arts fellowship at the Leslie Lohman Museum of Art in New York City, and she currently works as an assistant professor in electronic art and intermedia at Michigan State University.
An active musician in the U.S. punk scene since childhood, d’Andriole is currently playing in the Michigan bands Pet Me and Danger Cat. She has worked collaboratively as part of the artist duos HOLO (with artist Kelly Clare) and Wetware Instruments (with artist Abhishek Narula). In addition, d’Andriole served as a board member for the International Alliance for Women in Music, where she advocated for queer and trans composers and musicians from 2022 to 2024. She has completed artist residencies at Signal Culture in Loveland, Colorado, Wave Farm in Acra, New York, and the Institute for Electronic Art at Alfred University in Alfred, New York. The Michigan artist earned her B.F.A. in new media from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2018 and immediately went on to earn her M.A. and M.F.A. with honors from the University of Iowa’s Intermedia Program.
Lorelei d’Andriole will discuss her work at an artist lecture on Friday, Jan. 16, at 3:30 p.m. in McWethy Hall’s Lecture Hall, Room 222. Following the lecture, a reception for “Statements for Small Screens” will take place in the Luce Gallery from 4 to 6 p.m. Both the lecture and reception are free and open to the public.
