Fandell, who specializes in photography, previously worked at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he served as chair of the Department of Photography and was known for teaching an eclectic range of courses. Themes in his work\u2014drawing, sculpture, sound, video, text, collage, installation and photography\u2014often revolve around oppositions, such as small and large, near and far and the quotidian and the transcendent. Fandell\u2019s artwork and photography have appeared in the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Brooklyn Museum, New York, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Fandell joined the Department of Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts in 2012 and holds the Michael G. and C.
