Thomas Mann: Details from the Adventure

An artist tracks the path of his career from the early 70’s to the weird world of NOW.

Thomas Mann has been making his living as a fulltime art professional since he graduated from college in 1970. Best known for his “Techno-Romantic” jewelry designs he eschews the role of jeweler, and prefers the description of an artist working in the medium of jewelry. With a degree in technical theatre, set design and lighting, he also invents and builds large public art sculpture and installations. His touring exhibition “STORM CYCLE: An Artist Responds to Hurricane Katrina” is a blend of the many concepts and techniques he employs in his work.

Since the turn of the millennium, Mann and his production company, Thomas Mann Design Inc., and his gallery, Gallery I/O, both based in New Orleans, have survived the negative economic effects of 911, the death of his wife, Hurricane Katrina and now, this bizarre recession. As a result, he found it necessary to increase his creative output, up the number of events to present and sell his work, begin teaching hands-on workshops, start a new business venture, studioFLUX, and in general get busier than he’s ever been before.

Keeping in mind that the Chinese symbol for chaos means danger and opportunity this image driven lecture tracks the progression of events and experiences that place him at the interesting, challenging and scary crossroads of creativity, age, and semi-celebrity. ]]> http://www.mbmag.org/2009/08/thomas-mann-at-mpc-aug-8-2009/feed 0 MPC Spring Jewelry Sale – May 5-7, 2009 http://www.mbmag.org/2009/04/mpc-spring-jewelry-sale-may-5-7-2009 http://www.mbmag.org/2009/04/mpc-spring-jewelry-sale-may-5-7-2009#comments Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:20:00 +0000 Admin http://www.mbmag.org/2009/04/mpc-spring-jewelry-sale-may-5-7-2009
