2023 Shrode Art COmpetition Judge – Dan younger
Dan Younger is a Professor of Art, founder of the studio area and former chair of the Department of Art & Design at the University of Missouri in St. Louis. He has been teaching art in university settings since 1978.
He has over 165 national and international exhibits, and his works are in numerous public collections including Museum de Stadt, in Gladbeck Germany, The Fox Talbot Museum and the National Trust, Lacock, England, The Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago), the Harry Ransom Center at UT- Austin, The Saint Louis Art Museum, and Diaphne – Pole Photographique, of Montreuil, France.
Younger spent the summer of 2017 in Beauvais, France photographing Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Beauvais, a 13th century masterpiece of Gothic design. Over that time he produced over two hundred 360° images of the interior of that cathedral with the intention to create a « street map » of the interior which would allow website visitors to tour the cathedral. A website, http://saintpierretour.com, is now available.
