Sergey Jivetin ’01 (Metal) has been awarded an unrestricted grant in the amount of $20,000 from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation.  Thirty grant recipients were chosen from more than 130 nominations in the fields of painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, and craft media, gathered by a nationwide nominating committee. Jivetin’s work incorporates concepts of engineering and mechanical physics, as well as materials such as fishing hooks, syringe needles, and human hair. Jivetin is a previous recipient of the Art Jewelry Forum’s Emerging Artist Award and the Herbert Hoffman Preis. His work will be on view at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery in the exhibition, “40 under 40: Craft Futures” later this year.
