Mark Callahan is the Artistic Director of Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE), an interdisciplinary initiative for advanced research in the arts at the University of Georgia, and an instructor in the Lamar Dodd School of Art. He is a graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art and the Rhode Island School of Design where he was a member of the European Honors Program in Rome, Italy. Callahan's work has evolved from a traditional printmaking background to experimental multimedia projects. He was commissioned to create a site-specific work for "Video Culture: Three Decades of Video Art", a collaboration that joined the forces of eleven institutions in the metro Detroit area to examine video art and its impact on contemporary culture. His work has also been used in concert by R.E.M. as a large-scale video projection. He is the executive producer of AUX, a series of festivals and publications featuring experimental art from Athens, Georgia. "Internet Soul Portraits (I.S.P.)", a gallery of images created for the Web, is now part of the Rhizome Artbase. Recent group exhibitions include "Memery: Imitation, Memory, and Internet Culture" at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) and "You All Fell for My Act" at MAMA: Showroom for Media and Moving Art in Rotterdam.
