CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

June: “STARPRINTS” by Valerie George & Micah Mermilliod

George & Mermilliod are artists from Mobile, AL, who work in various media. They find connection in shared conceptual interests and a love of experimental photographic processes. 

STARPRINTS is an exhibition of photograms and lumen prints that explore themes of transformation and transcendence, utilizing organic materials of the body and the earth.

Valerie George (she/her) is an artist whose work reflects holistically on art and life through installation art, site-specific works, video, performance, sound, sculpture, photography, new media, drawing, collaborative projects, and curatorial practices. Valerie received her MFA from the University of California, Davis, having worked closely with mentors Lynn Hershman-Leeson and Mary Lucier. She is a Full Professor of Art at the University of West Florida (Pensacola, FL), Arts Editor of Panhandler Magazine: A Journal of Art and Literature, a Co-Founder and Co-Director of the 309 Punk Project, and a member of Good Children Gallery (New Orleans),—she currently resides in Mobile, AL. 

Micah Mermilliod (he/him) creates work that often incorporates elements of collage, both in the mediums used and the ideas at play.  He is most interested in adaptive changes that humans make, especially in an environment that is rapidly changing due to catalysts such as technology, socioeconomic status, and environmental change.  Much of his work from the past few years has explored his experience with quarantine and the new normal that has followed. Micah received his MFA from the University of South Alabama in 2022 in Creative Technologies and Practice, and he currently resides in Mobile, AL, where he works as a curator for the Alabama Contemporary Art Center.  

These exhibitions will be on display in MAC’s Gallery @ Room 1927 through June 28, 2025. The gallery is open Tuesday-Friday, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Please contact Sydney Cramer at scramer@mobilearts.org for more information.
