Gerald Cannon

In 2005 the first Louisiana State Board of Regents "Awards to Louisiana
Artists and Scholars (ATLAS)" grants were awarded. The grants are directed
toward the support of artists and scholars in higher education in their
coming research and are tied to sabbatical leave support by the individual
universities. Approximately $500,000 has been dedicated annually to this
program.

This year, Professor Gerald Cannon was the only artist in the state to be
awarded one of the grants in conjunction with a one year sabbatical for the
coming academic year. The $43,000 award provides salary supplement, travel,
equipment, and supplies for a project titled "Essential Elements –
Biological/Digital/Legal Coding of Trace Memory as Truth". Physical
computing and immersive media will join with elemental human bodily
materials such as salt, water, oxygen, and carbon, to produce approximately
ten final pieces. Efforts to create exhibitions in both the US and Europe
are part of the grant support.

Loyola University faculty received two of the twelve grants awarded. The
other went to Professor John Biguenet in English for work on two novels. We
are justifiably proud of this recognition of the level of arts scholarship
at Loyola. 2005

Jerry is currently on sabbatical, making art and fixing his house.
