The Artlab Gallery is pleased to present “ante meridiem” an exhibition of work by practicum students in the Department of Visual Arts. This exhibition features a diverse section of media and approaches to the field of contemporary art, and represents the culmination of four years of study. While subject matters are diverse, the immaterial and collective nature of time often filters into their overarching thought processes and representations.
eden
October 28 - November 18, 2021. Cohen Commons Gallery
Our exhibition Eden conveys messages about identity, self-discovery, acceptance and reflection. The story of Eden is well known, which allows viewers to resonate with our works and correlate Eve as the fundamental character and identity of women. Since biblical times, women have been associated with inadequacy; Eve’s sin portrays a presumed weakness inherited by women. Eden alludes to themes of human progression, sexuality, and temptations as we explore the challenges women face growing up in a world where our bodies are constantly sexualized and critiqued. Our exhibition reflects themes of femininity as we begin to understand our identities as women and experience growth in our separate gardens of Eden.
Annual juried exhibition 19
March 5 - March 18, 2021. Artlab Gallery + Cohen Commons Gallery
The Annual Juried Exhibition returns for its 19th consecutive year! The AJE continues to be one of the most highly anticipated undergraduate exhibitions in the Visual Arts Department. This diverse exhibition supports the production of new work made in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, digital media, photography, installation, sound, and performance. Artworks are selected by a professional jury who consider originality, creativity, and process. This year's exhibition represents a diverse selection of work from all levels of undergraduate study in the Department. We received a significant number of submissions despite our unusual circumstances, with some works speaking quite directly to living, thinking, feeling, and working one's way through a pandemic.
