Kitchen Sync Magazine Book Release Reception

This year Kitchen Sync wants to know how you have fun. PLAY is a process. Whether following the rules, making your own, or throwing the whole book out the window, your ability to explore new ideas and risk failure is an overlooked, but essential part of creativity. Take a risk. There is no right or wrong way to PLAY!

Cohrot II

Spanning across media and perspectives of subjectivity, Cohrot II features a hodgepodge of styles, methodologies, and research interests carried out by the 2nd year MFA cohort. Artists Sajad Amini, Tierney Anderson, Devon Devaughn, Eden V. Evans, Tannon Reckling, Ian Sherlock Molloy, Caroline Trainer, Nathan Alexander Ward, Carol Yahner, and Kevin Yatsu demonstrate the advancement of their personal trajectories through increasingly pointed analysis and experimentation.

Between the Lines

“Our exhibition showcases three BFA’s from three different crafts. A painter who feels that she examines her interest in creation through destruction with the “traditional” language of painting, using untraditional materials and processes. A metalsmith focused in jewelry who sees her work as being about the relationship between rules and the body, creating different visual experiences for the viewer and the wearer. And a photographer who sees his work as exploring the spaces between what is the visual norm, to encourage perception from different points of view.”

A BFA Thesis Exhibition by Meggan Dodds, Jin Wu, and Chad VanNetta.

In Plain Sight

Confused on whether to blend in or stand out.

But, for now, we are satisfied by the craft, the repetition, the
variation.

Over and under. Unnoticed but always seen.

Substratal Spectacle

Kailie DeBolt challenges the conventions of the female nude through works that present an unforgiving reality of her body encased within emotional and unconventional colors.

Amanda Fang explores the space between reality and abstraction through the play of familiar forms and patterns drawn from day to day life.

Rachel Harsey focuses on fully embodying her own space as a tall and fat woman, using clay as a surrogate for and an extension of her own body.

Nevertheless: The Art of Persistence

Nevertheless: The Art of Persistence highlights creative practices that engage with art as a civic duty and bring lived experiences from the margins to the foreground. It explores the deeply personal elements of identity, community, and political engagement that propel us forward and call us to build, create, and act – even when the odds are against us. The exhibition is presented in conjunction with the Art History Student Association’s 15th Annual Graduate Symposium to expand upon scholarship addressing similar issues. Through this discourse between scholarship and artwork, the exhibition seeks to add nuance and bear witness to the complex intersection of art and social justice.
