Scrimshaw Distinguished Visiting Artist Romello Goodman will deliver the 2025 Artist Lecture on Thursday, February 27, at 6:30 p.m. in the Opalka Gallery on Russell Sage College’s Albany campus.
Goodman is an artist and designer based in Baltimore, Maryland. His art explores repetition and variation through the use of color, shape, and motion. His talk is titled “Playgrounds for Thought: Guidelines for Cross-media Creation.”
As a designer and engineer, Goodman has written software to push the boundaries of storytelling on the web at The New York Times, Shopify, and Block. As a writer, his work has been featured in Black Joy Archive, Logic Magazine, and the Increment by Stripe. As an educator, he teaches at MICA in Baltimore as an adjunct professor in the Department of Graphic Design and has run workshops at Cooper Union in New York and Letterform Archive in San Francisco. As a technologist, he believes that computers can make us more creative and that tool-building can be a labor of love.
Goodman will talk about his career path in art and design and share his process of current artwork made with custom code. The event is free and open to the public. The Opalka Gallery, on the Russell Sage College Albany campus, is located at 140 New Scotland Road, Albany, New York.
