Joe Hedges, visual artist and musician

We’re back on location at the Eastern Washington University Gallery of Art this week to check in with the Pullman-based visual artist Joe Hedges for his current exhibition,Their Own Devices.

The exhibition showcases Hedges’ fusion of technology with traditional fine arts. Along with objects like the standalone multimedia piece “Smart Oven,” there is a series of nine portraits executed in a Renaissance style with 1980s consumer electronics devices embedded in place of their faces.

A little later in the interview, Joe takes time to talk about what he’s been up to with his bandmates back in Ohio as part of the alt-rock outfit July for Kings.

Their Own Devices runs at the EWU gallery until November 12, 2026.

This interview was also the basis for a print article that ran in the October 1 issue of the Inlander.
