Knight Artist-in-Residence Michael Takeo Magruder Showcases Art, Mentors Students
Michael Takeo Magruder, the Knight Fund Distinguished Artist-in-Residence at Knox College, presented a new exhibition titled "re:GeneratedPrairie" at the Borzello Art Gallery in the Ford Center for the Fine Arts. The show, open from September 16-30, featured digital prints, canvases, 4K videos, and soundscapes inspired by the prairie burn and regrowth at Knox’s Green Oaks. Magruder, an internationally known artist with over 300 exhibitions in 35 countries, was invited to Knox by Knight Distinguished Chair Robert M. Geraci. During his residency, he also mentored students, teaching them exhibition setup, curation, and his artistic process involving AI and technology.
