(Not) Dead

(Not) your paint-by-the-numbers kit from Michael’s.

Not) something your five-year-old could make.

(Not) an image instead of an object.

(Not) an object instead of a image(???).

(Not) Dead is a collection of visual statements by Izzy Cho and Tricia Knope. This is a painting show(???) satirizing painting and its dichotomy between elitist inaccessibility and ubiquity within popular culture.

 

The Last, Show of the Year

“The Last, Show of the Year” is a compilation of work from a group of undergrad artists Han Cao, Ross Doyle Jr., Austin Esterline, Michelle Ferguson, and Daniel Shaw, who have worked in close proximity for over 2 years. Their work has grown and changed, each influencing one another aesthetically and intellectually. This show marks the first time they have been able to exhibit some of those overlapping visual and conceptual concerns together.

Human Resources

“Welcome, welcome.

Do you take pride in your hurt? Does it make you seem large and tragic?…Well, think about it. Maybe you’re playing a part on a great stage with only yourself as audience. I for one am not going to sit on my ass as the events that affect me unfold to determine the course of my life. We’re all going to die. Come look at our art.

Goodbye, goodbye.”
