About the Artists

Artists Ann Rosenthal and Stephen Moore have been involved with nuclear issues since 1982, when they collaborated on an interactive art installation in a city-wide arts event in Los Angeles entitled "Target L. A." As members of the group of artists working under the name UNARM, they produced a series of "live" art environments addressing nuclear issues in 1982 - 1983 (below). Their shared interests in social issues and public discourse have inspired them to collaborate on several projects, including art installations, publications, and alternative gallery spaces over the last several years.

Stephen Moore

Stephen Moore has been a practicing artist for over thirty years. His work explores many experimental art forms and movements, including computer-generated text-drawings, conceptual art, and artist books. His diverse interests in non-mainstream art have led him to be a contributing writer and editor for several art publications, including Artweek and BOXCAR. He was founding co-director of a pioneering alternative space in Southern California, 58F PLAZA, and has directed galleries in Los Angeles and San Jose. He has recently relocated to Pittsburgh where he is setting up a studio. Learn more about Stephen's art work at SM/ART.

Ann Rosenthal

Inspired by the visions and activism of 40,000 women at the United Nations World Conference on Women in Beijing, Ann decided to pursue an MFA after several years as a practicing artist, community arts organizer, and software documentation editor. After receiving her degree in 1999 from Carnegie Mellon University, Ann taught design and digital media in Pittsburgh. While teaching Environmental Art in Thinking and Practice at Carnegie Mellon, she developed The Green Arts Web with Art and Drama Librarian Mo Dawley. In 2001-02, Ann exhibited her work at University of Pittsburgh; Coconino Art Center, Flagstaff, AZ; Gallery One, Ellensburg, WA; JFK University, San Francisco, CA; the Brew House SPACE 101, Pittsburgh, Associated Artists of Pittsburgh; and Lycoming College, Williamsport, PA. She was the discussant for the panel, "Defining Ecofeminist Art" at the 2002 College Art Association Conference. Ann's MFA research and her current work explores how nature has been "produced" throughout history, and how recent developments in technology and bio-engineering are rewriting the territories of nature and culture. She is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at University of Maryland Baltimore County (2001-03). See more of Ann's work at Studio Tara.
