CREATORS
* Andrew Borowiec (American, b. 1956) - artist
Andrew Borowiec American, 1956- Andrew Borowiec is a photographer, educator, and arts administrator. His black-and-white photographs of factory towns in the Ohio River Valley, a series that he has worked on extensively since the early 1990s, reveal an uneasy coexistence between residential and industrial sites, and between humans and their environment. Borowiec cites as influences the geographical writings of J. B. Jackson and the philosophies of photographer Frank Gohlke, with whom he studied in the early 1980s while a graduate student at Yale University School of Art. Born in New York City, Borowiec attended high school at the École Internationale in Geneva, Switzerland, and moved back across the Atlantic to earn a B.A. in Russian from Haverford College (1979). That same year, he took a workshop with Garry Winogrand at the International Center of Photography, where he also worked as a staff photographer (1979-80). Borowiec received his M.F.A. from Yale (1982); in addition to Gohlke, his teachers included Richard Benson, Jan Groover, Ben Lifson, and Tod Papageorge. In 1980 Borowiec served as assistant director of the Workshop Program for the Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie in Arles, France. Throughout his career he has completed various commissions for academic periodicals as well as civic and cultural institutions. Borowiec has held faculty positions at the New School for Social Research (1982-84), Parsons School of Design (1983-84), and Oberlin College (1990). His numerous awards include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (1985, 1988) and the Folk Endowment Grant (1993). Since 1984 he has taught at the University of Akron School of Art.
