Documentary Subject


Jack O'Hearn IV is an interdisciplinary artist, as well as an adjunct professor at both Holy Cross College at Notre Dame and Ivy Tech Community College. He received his Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts degrees from the University of Wisconsin in 2012 and 2013, respectively. In 2014, he was one of twenty artists to contribute to The Birdsell Project exhibition, an involvement that has continued to flourish. Jack's first installment piece with The Birdsell Project  was The Office (2014), and ultimately led to other pieces such as The Camper (2015), a solo, mobile installation piece, and The Health Club (2016), which utilized abandoned space at The Commerce Center in South Bend.
