MAC Opens Dual Exhibit

The Mobile Arts Council (MAC) has announced the opening of Starprints, a free dual exhibition by Mobile artists Valerie George and Micah Mermilliod at MAC’s Room 1927 next to Saenger Theatre Mobile. The exhibit features photograms and lumen prints that explore transformation, transcendence and our connection to the body and the Earth through experimental photographic processes and organic materials. Both artists are known for their diverse, multimedia approaches to art. George is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans installation, performance, sound, video, sculpture, photography, drawing and collaborative curation. Her practice reflects a holistic inquiry into art and life. Mermilliod works across mediums, often incorporating collage in both material and concept. His art explores the ways humans adapt to an ever-changing world—technologically, environmentally and socially. Much of his recent work reflects on the isolation of quarantine and the new normal that followed. He is also a curator at the Alabama Contemporary Art Center in Mobile.
