DAAPworks 2024: Directors' Choice Awards
Designed by Brendán Murphy
May 22nd - August 4th, 2024
Each year, the DAAPworks event highlights the creative output of the graduating class from the top-ranked College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning at the University of Cincinnati.
The Directors’ Choice Award specifically highlights the outstanding capstone projects, first presented as a part of SAAPworks. Projects best demonstrating exceptional knowledge, creativity, and skill that has been applied to a focused idea and most effectively communicated by visual means are selected.
Each year the directors from the four schools within DAAP and the Director of DAAP Galleries act as judges, reviewing the project submissions from all of the school programs. The directors take into consideration the recommendations they are provided by the faculty that work with these students daily. However, the directors may select any project they deem worthy. After much deliberation, a consensus is reached. In the event the directors have a split decision, the galleries’ director has been charged with the duty of breaking ties to make the final selections of Directors’ Choice Award winners for that academic year.
About Reed Gallery
The Dorothy W. & C. Lawson Reed, Jr. Gallery is located on the fifth floor of the DAAP Aronoff complex and is the largest of the DAAP Galleries. Located at the heart of the DAAP complex, the Reed Gallery provides a vibrant setting for DAAP students and the regional arts community in which to engage in meaningful discussions about the current state of visual culture. With a focus on current trends and practices, gallery exhibition themes range from Art to Fashion and address all of the fields of study within the college of DAAP. While the focus of the DAAP galleries is contemporary practice, the galleries do present exhibitions that approach practice historically by examining a process, a school of thought, or an individual of significance that exemplify the foundations of contemporary practice. Within an exhibition season, students and professionals alike are represented through a serious of group and solo exhibitions that address a wide range of visual media.
The location of the Reed Gallery provides countless opportunities for professors and students to engage in discussion within the gallery space. Here they can directly address issues relating to their studies, as the gallery may provide examples of work to inspire dialogue and act as an extension and compliment to their class and studio work. Additionally, the Reed Gallery is staffed by current students in order to provide practical experience working within a professional setting while aiding as a learning tool for individuals who are interested in the processes related to museum and gallery operations.
