| | Da/sein
January 9 - February 6, 2010
Reception: Wednesday, January 13, 6-8pm
School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “Da/sein,” an exhibition of thesis projects by students in the first graduating class of the BFA Visual and Critical Studies Department. The works on view include installation, sculpture, animation, painting and drawing. The exhibition reflects the students’ interests in creating works of art that embody poignant moments of present life. The exhibition is curated by Department Chair Tom Huhn.
“The BFA Visual and Critical Studies Department is a novel approach to art education,” says Huhn. “Rather than focus on a single studio-based medium accompanied by a variety of courses in the humanities and art history, the curriculum instead promotes the full array of studio-based mediums along with an integrated and focused constellation of liberal arts courses. The results of this approach can be seen in the breadth and clarity of the work in the exhibition.”
The exhibition includes Alyse Anderson’s graphite drawings Radium and Cesium; Katie Armstrong’s animation Goodbye Sorrow; Sharon Broza-Stone’s colored pencil drawing 1 in a series of trees and her sculpture Number 3; Megan Connaughton’s ferrofluid sculpture encompassed by silkscreened curtains; Angela Fan’s installations Living Room Disco 1 and Living Room Disco 2; and acrylic paintings by Alejandra Torres.
