He was raised in Ontario, OR and attended Cornell University, graduating from the College of Architecture, Art and Urban Planning in 1992. He is a painter and sculptor whose work has been acquired by various public collections including The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Albight Knox Gallery and The Cleveland Art Museum.  In 2010, Storm participated in The Whitney Biennial and in 2013, a mid-career survey of his work was presented at The Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, NY. He is represented by PDX Contemporary Art and Galerie Sébastian Bertrand.
 
As part of his artist-residency, Tharp will produce art in SOU’s Center for the Visual Arts studios alongside art students. In addition to his public lecture to be held on Monday, October 3 at 3:30 PM in the Meese Auditorium, Tharp will participate in classroom visits and student art critiques.  The residency is part of the New Art Oregon Project, funded by The Ford Family Foundation, Roseberg, OR.

The Danish String Quartet has reached incredible heights in the course of its ten years of existence. The quartet was appointed to the prestigious Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Two program, the most recent achievement in a long line of distinguished accomplishments. In 2009 the quartet not only won First Prize in the Eleventh London International String Quartet Competition, but its performance was so convincing that it was awarded four additional prizes: The 20th Century Prize, the Beethoven Prize, the Sidney Griller Award and the Menton Festival Prize. Prior to this triumph the quartet won competitions in Denmark, Norway and Holland.

Oregon Shakespeare Festival Artistic Director Bill Rauch will join three other speakers, including long-time OSF actor Tyrone Wilson, to discuss the challenges and rewards of “Multi-Cultural  Shakespeare” at Southern Oregon University at 3:00-5:00 pm on October 15, in the Meese Room in Hannon Library.  There is no admission charge.

The event is sponsored by Shakespeare America, an OSF-SOU consortium committed to exploring the question of what “American Shakespeare” means. “One of the most important definitions of “American” is “Multi-Cultural,” said David McCandless, Director of Shakespeare Studies at the Oregon Center for the Arts at SOU and organizer of the event.  “And no major regional theater in the country takes that definition more seriously than OSF.”
