Syracuse Tech Garden Adds Curator and Artist in Residence

Local artist, Ty Marshal, has a vision to implement technology into his work. As the Tech Garden recently named Marshal as Curator and Artist in Residence, his vision will become a reality this year. Marshal is an interdisciplinary artist whose work focuses on cultural activism, social sculpture, semiotics and theater - and takes a critical view of social, political, historical and cultural issues through visual commentary on human nature and pop culture. While taking advantage of the gallery and theater space at the Tech Garden, Marshal intends to showcase his work, have panel discussion and show films.

“I will be seeking ways to explore the intersection of art, technology and science through visual displays, film screenings, discussions, collaborations and other events - with a goal of highlighting Central New York’s position as a center of innovation and creativity,” explained Marshal.

The Tech Garden is pleased to partner with Marshal, viewing the opportunity as a chance to expand the creative tech community and create more community linkages for the facility. “We are thrilled to welcome Ty here as our first Curator and Artist and Residence,” proclaimed Linda Hartsock, Vice President Technology and Innovation, CenterState CEO. 

Marshal has an impressive background including, but not limited to participating as an organizer and curator for the Lipe Art Park on West Fayette Street and acting as co-founder of the Evolution Art Studio in the Hudson Valley. “He truly understands the dynamic connection between art, technology and community revitalization, and the ways in which arts are an economic driver,” says Vice President Technology and Innovation, CenterState CEO, Linda Hartsock.
