Echoes and Fragments: Paho Mann
The Department of Visual Arts and Design will show Paho Mann’s works in the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center Gallery from January 15, 2025 to February 5, 2025. Mann is a photography and lens-based media artist whose works investigate the cultural and interpersonal relationships between human beings and the objects we surround ourselves with. Fascinated by how digital tools affect our interpretation of the world around us, Mann’s works highlight the complicated relationship between tradition and innovation. Mann’s works have been shown at venues such as the Arizona State University Art Museum, the Walker Art Center, as well as the Carnegie Museum of Art. Since receiving his MFA from Arizona State University in 2007, Mann has taught at the University of North Texas in the Visual Arts and Design Department.

The TSU Gallery of Art presents curatorial programs that challenge and promote discourse while highlighting regional as well as internationally-based artists.
The gallery hosts 3 or 4 shows each semester, usually opening with a reception and often with a lecture and/or workshop by the featured artist(s). These events are free to the public, more details can be found on TSU Gallery Facebook Page or the Fine Arts Calendar. Senior exhibitions are a feature of the schedule in fall and spring semesters. These shows are required of all graduating Visual Arts and Design majors to display a body of work or a research project chosen by the student. The Annual Juried Student Exhibition takes place every spring. This exhibition is open to all students and is juried by curators and artists from the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
