Joseph G. Cruz

Joseph G. Cruz’s work is fueled by an enthusiasm towards the History and Philosophy of Science and how seemingly disparate technologies, economies and ecologies can spin connections towards social paradigm shifts. His earnestness towards the research is not as a historian, but an attempt at extracting the vestiges lost in the methodologies of knowledge exchange. Cruz received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute Chicago and is currently pursuing his MFA at the University of Notre Dame, as well as a GLOBES Certificate in Environment and Society Fellow. Notable solo exhibitions have taken place at such venues as Chicago Artist Coalition; the Comfort Station, Chicago; and EXPO Chicago.  His work has also been included in group exhibitions at such spaces as the Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art; the Soap Factory, Minneapolis; Museum of Surgical Science, Chicago; Cabinet Magazine Exhibition Space, New York; and the Chicago Cultural Center.
