The artists will be on campus May 28 to inform students of their art at Studium Generale, after which there will be a workshop.
“Really excited I think it will be a great exhibit” Miller said.
The father and son duo fits with the campus theme of family for this academic year.
Professor Miller uses a wide variety of tactics in choosing artist for the gallery. The artists are generally picked to go along with whatever theme the school is using.
Exhibits are also chosen to go along with the current curriculum. Space in the gallery is key in regards to some exhibits. Large three-dimensional exhibits are not ideal.
Local artists are selected like Clay Murdock, who is the most resent on display.
In the case of Lipschutz and Lipschutz the artists contacted the college.
Miller uses his contacts as an artist to bring artists to show in the gallery, like the upcoming show Lipschutz and Lipschutz.
The father-son collective has worked together since 2011.
Family is built into their work they blend the perspectives of different generations in order to resolve their artwork formally and thematically.
“We fight about the work, but synthesize our differences by understanding that our collaborations will give birth to more creative energy and artistic productivity” said the artists in a correspondence to the college.
One unorthodox material the artists use for production of their work is old Yellow Pages phone books.
“Yellow pages make a malleable, easily altered, its color can be can be changed, its home city is variable, and it is structurally strong” said the artist in a correspodence to Peninsula College.
According to college website, the exhibit is made possible by the Exceptional Faculty Award funded by the PC Foundation.
