Dutes Miller and Stan Shellabarger
Our April/May 2009 issue includes a profile of the Chicago-based
couple of Dutes Miller and Stan Shellabarger. Miller and Shellabarger work across
a range of media that includes performance art, installation, printmaking, artist
books, and paper collage, to create pieces that act as a log of shared experience.
The issue includes images of their performance art, and here we show examples
of their non-performance pieces. They are represented by Western
Exhibitions gallery, Chicago, Illinois.
