Advocate Curator Educator
This site documents past work and projects over George Ciscle’s five-decade career. Curious web surfers and deep-diving scholars will find much to explore, from print ephemera and rare photographs to art criticism and targeted Zoom sessions. That’s one way to utilize the site, by delving into the archival content.
There’s something else going on here, too, something akin to transmission if you’re receptive to it. His overall humanist philosophy emanates from each section, so the site can function as an interactive resource for anyone interested in process as well as outcome.
Ciscle cultivates possibility, rather than certainty.
You can do the same.
