The annual exhibition of Masters of Fine Arts candidates from the College of Visual and Performing Arts will include 20 artists displaying a broad range of traditional and contemporary work, including painting, ceramics and sculpture, as well as digital photography, installation, and computer art
The SUArt Galleries will present MFA MMX (2010), an exhibition that represents the culmination of three years of art making and research to achieve a masters of fine arts from the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University. Twenty artists will exhibit a range of work artwork that encompasses the gamut of craft and concept including ceramics, painting, sculpture, photography, video, and interactive media. MFA MMX opens April 1 and runs through May 16, 2010.
A gallery reception will be held on Thursday, April 8 from 5 to 7 p.m. The SUArt Galleries is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Thursday, 11 a.m.-8 p.m.
While each artist works independently on their thesis concepts, themes have routinely emerged within the group-crossing the boundaries of media and style. This year’s exhibition is no exception; the work exudes a highly developed sense of technique and thought. In MFA MMX, however, the artists engage the viewer, both physically and psychologically, in a way not seen in previous MFA exhibitions. The narrative photography of Jared Landberg, a documentary film by Sonya Pollard, and the video installation of Esther Probst are examples of the thematic way many the artists record their personal history or specific experiences.
