In the Dragon’s Keep

In the Dragon’s Keep features various artworks from Carousel — the Art & Technology BFA group. Through the closeness of artwork in a gallery with limited space, the show references themes of collection and childhood. Artists, embracing the concept of accumulation, transform the gallery space into one that is unexpectedly full.

LICK OF PARADISE

LICK of PARADISE merges lines of black, white, grey, silver by graduate students Hannah Petkau and Dana Buzzee. Harnessing the tension between Buzzee’s large wall-mounted webs and Petkau’s illustrative interventions, the charismatic objects of Lick of Paradise offers considerations of community, the natural world, and the confluence of the two.

 

Funeral + And They Were Roommates

Funeral” = Zane Bjorge + Daniel McNamara

///

Is it dancing or lucid dreams or where forgetting is just as important?

Is it the material or figments of light or filled suspension? Is it a shared delusion living in the same space?

“and they were roommates” by Kale’a Calica-Younker, Kaitlyn McCafferty, and Kezia Setyawan.

 

Kosmos / Three Bodies

Kosmos:

Featuring work in sculpture, fibers and found objects, kosmos is an
exposition that explores time as it relates to the artists’ individual
experiences. In their portrayal of time as an image, the artists’ seek
to create a discourse around the color pink regarding its historical
lineage. They intend to reclaim the color pink while also attempting to
stray away from the deeply ingrained traditional understanding of
femininity in our society. They want to convince the audience that pink
is a comfortable place of refuge as well as a representation of strength
and softness.

Emma DeRosia and Kate Chiddix

Three Bodies:

Each element of this collaborative installation reflects an exploration
of the feeling of melancholy translated into a physical space. The use
of concrete sculptures emulates weight, frigidity, and suspension. The
nets represent entanglement, repetition of mindless acts as a form of a
coping mechanism, a meditative act in order to bind and hold together a
fleeting sense of self. The projections transform the rigid, immobile
sculptures into glowing, dynamic bodies.

Geordi Helmick, Eva Emter, and Koa Hencke

Pointing at Things

Featuring work from the 2019/20 BFA class, this show is an interdisciplinary exploration of Conceptual Art. Varying from absurdity to poignancy to critique, Pointing at Things is an exhibition that guides the audience towards questions and ideas to consider, embracing ambiguity to generate thought.

Sense of Space

Sense of Space is an interactive virtual reality sound installation. Participants are encouraged to interact with the virtual reality world and the gallery space to alter sounds and visuals. I am interested in creating new types of interaction between people, where participates can play with technologies like 3D scanning and mixed reality.

Exhibition by Amanda Langley, an Intermedia Music Technology Masters Student in the School of Music and Dance.
