| | That's Just It
July 6 - August 14, 2010
Reception: Tuesday, July 6, 6 - 8pm
School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “That’s Just It,” an exhibition of painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video and mixed-media work by 2010 graduates of the MFA Fine Arts Department. The exhibition is curated by faculty member Stephen Maine.
“The exhibition testifies to the sheer diversity of material and conceptual approaches developed in the last two years by students in this obdurately interdisciplinary program,” notes Maine. “For this show, the curatorial challenge is space management. The work is all terrific, and my job is to choreograph its placement as unobtrusively as possible.”
The selection of work was made in consultation with each student, with regard to strong individual work and irrespective of an overarching theme. The show’s title is derived from Printer, a video by Bryan Balla, which Maine selected because of its significance in group critiques, in argument and in the imaginative life of the studio-based artist.
The other exhibiting artists are Jay Anderson, Sue Begy, Kate Davis Caldwell, Yun-Woo Choi, Cathleen Cueto, Chris Deriso, Sean Dunstan-Halliday, Bibi Flores, Colleen Ford, Teresa Henriques, Seong-Eun Hong, Hye Soon Hwang, Naoko Ito, Maria Jose Duran, Leonora Loeb, Kari Lorenson, Laurel Lueders, Eric Lundquist, Nathan Manuel, Bryn McConnell, Joey Miri, Wade Schaming, Vered Sivan, Kevin Stahl, Matt Stone, Yonatan Ullman and Le Xi.
The MFA Fine Arts Department offers a specialization in painting, sculpture, installation, printmaking, new media or mixed media while fostering an ideology of stylistic pluralism. The two-year, 60-credit degree program encourages students to follow a personal course of intellectual and expressive evolution as they experiment with diverse artistic persuasions, discover new aspects of their creative abilities and gain greater technical mastery.
