Nick Witten + Danielle Joy Graves - 2018 Spring Residents

Nick Witten holds an MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Sculpture from Herron School of Art and Design. He is an Adjunct Instructor at Herron and works with Big Car Collaborative. Danielle Joy Graves holds a BFA in Illustration from Herron School of Art and Design. She recently completed a permanent installation piece for Big Car Collaborative and performs with Know No Stranger. Nick and Danielle work collaboratively with themes of character appropriation, branding, and other elements from pop culture and entertainment—arranging, distorting, and perversing these elements to create absurd alternate versions of reality. Together, they also run Sugar Space, a contemporary art gallery in Indianapolis. Their time spent with PlySpace resulted in the exhibition of new work at Kime Contemporary located on Indianapolis' east side. On April 28th, they conducted a  professional practice workshop for young artists at PlySpace.
