ByProduct Studios at DAAP Galleries
Feb. 8th - April 5th, 2026
About ByProduct:
Nathan Gorgan and Molly Jo Burke are an artist and designer couple and parents of young children, their collaborative practice utilizes excess material from their respective processes and home life to create new artworks. A variety of coatings, such as plaster, wax, epoxy, and faux painting, also left over from other projects, are then applied to the artworks to either heighten or obscure their innate qualities. This allows the artists to play with perceptions of a material’s purpose, quality and value, as waste remnants and the byproducts of their life are transformed through the process. Incorporating reflections on their lives lived together, themes of landscape, play, and architecture flow through the art works.
Collaborative Projects:
Expanding Wasteline I
Expanding Wasteline II
Existential Byproduct
Shelving Unit
Lavatorium
Vanity/Vanitas
About Meyers Gallery
The Philip M. Meyers Jr. Memorial Gallery is located in the Steger Student Life Center in the heart of the University’s Main Street. Situated across from the recreation center and the Tangeman Student Center, we are located in the hub of student life and bring visual culture and practice to the university at large as well as to the surrounding region. The Meyers Gallery exhibitions address two main objectives: first to expose the wider university community to the practices within DAAP; and second to present exhibitions that address the practices of other colleges within the university, generally historic or scientific in focus. The intention is to provide the university population with access to a greater understanding of the visual presentation of complex ideas and concepts.
The Meyers Gallery is staffed by current students in order to provide them with a range of knowledge and understanding of exhibition techniques and practices. This experience provides student artists, art historians, and art educators a setting in which to explore and implement the theories and concepts of their academic and studio practices into a working setting. DAAP Galleries employees are equipped with the necessary skills to present and discuss a variety of visual materials with a broad audience, enabling them to better articulate the visual communication of complex ideas and foster a better understanding of visual communication.
