About Us
The University of Nevada, Reno, is offering a new master's degree in the field of "poetic repurposing," reports the Reno Gazette-Journal.
Scott Oliver is a project-based artist who works with discarded LPs, furniture, and other materials.
His work has taken many forms, including in-home sculptural interventions, a symbiotic restaurant, a collection of discarded LPs, borrowing and modifying other people's furniture, an elaborate parlor game with students, an audio walking tour of an urban lake, and a group of sculptural signposts.
Oliver's work has been shown at a number of venues, including the Oakland Museum of California, San Jose Institute for Contemporary Art, Sonoma State University, Triple Base, Museum of Craft and Folk Art, and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
