I have two questions about Art Professor Ed Epping.
1) In 1999, he seemed to be leaving Williams for the University of Illinois.
Ed Epping, former chair of the art department at Williams College whose works are part of more than 35 permanent collections nationwide, will join the University of Illinois at Chicago as director of the School of Art and Design. The appointment is subject to approval by the University of Illinois Board of Trustees.
“Ed Epping brings a combination of wisdom and enthusiasm that will help spark everyone’s imagination,” said Judith Kirshner, dean of the UIC College of Architecture and the Arts. “Like the college’s high-profile faculty, he will be an important actor in the larger Chicago arts community. Our faculty and students will benefit from the leadership of this first-rate artist and educator.”
But Epping is still at Williams. What happened?
2) Early in the Iraq War, Epping starting sending out anti-war postcards. He seems to be continuing with the project. Why aren’t these postcards available on the web somewhere? I, and other Ephs, would like to read them.
