About the exhibition:

Reign of Glass is a photo and mixed medium installation by artist Erin Stellmon.  Stellmon plans to address issues within the largest privately funded construction project in US history, the MGM Mirage CityCenter.

In dialogue with the CityCenter work is the collaborative installation “If you lived here you’d be home by now."  This piece features approximately eighty drawings by local and out of town artists and friends based on personal memories of Las Vegas.  Sales of the majority of these drawings will be donated to the CAC. 


About the artist:

Erin Stellmon is a visual artist that employs multiple mediums in her work including collage, photography, drawing and sculpture.  Her featured work deals with themes of shelter and transition through images of decay, construction and technology.  She is interested in exploring how we are affected by the economic and emotional structures of comfort and the efforts we are willing to go through to feel that we have finally come, or are going, to that place called home.

Erin Stellmon holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design in New York and an MFA in visual arts from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Nevada and New York City and group exhibitions in California and Texas.  Awards include residency fellowships at Hall Farm Center for Arts and Education in 2001 and 2003 and UNLV's Outstanding Graduate Student Award in 2007.  Recent projects include 2009's Atomic Passage, a collaboration with artists Danielle Kelly, Adam Morey and Aaron Sheppard for the City of Las Vegas Arts Commission to  create the first public art project where artists' concepts were integrated into the engineering infrastructure of a Public Works streetscape; Clark County, Nevada's ZAP!, completed in 2006, in which selected artists painted utility boxes throughout the community; and Discover Las Vegas, completed in 2005, a mural painted at the Lied Discovery Children's Museum as part of the City of 100 Murals Project.  

Her work has been reviewed in the national publication "Art in America."
