Layered Histories, Interpretive Desires, Rachelle Dang
Layered Histories, Interpretive Desires, Rachelle Dang
Theses and Dissertations
I aim to excavate source material from the past and reinterpret its significance in the present through art. I merge history with the contemporary through acts of appropriation and material exploration, creating conditions for the viewer to grapple with colonial legacies in an affective space of visual experience.
Motherfuck, Emily Furr
Motherfuck, Emily Furr
Theses and Dissertations
I want to record the breakdown of male systems and the rise of the mother archetype. In my paintings, I show symbols of masculinity being disassembled and retranslated. I embrace the return of the feminine as we move out of the phallic world of industrialism and into something new.
Private Rainbows, Mikey F. Estes
Private Rainbows, Mikey F. Estes
Theses and Dissertations
I make art that refers to how the self is mediated through structures, objects, and images — a kind of self-portraiture that circles around its subject, reflecting a state of simultaneous formation and disintegration. Over the past few years, I have used my iPhone as a tool to make images of everyday life. As the user of this device, I am defined by both my presence and absence. I am interested in the process of locating the self within the scattered yet ordered space of the screen.
Double Splinters, Theresa M. Daddezio
Double Splinters, Theresa M. Daddezio
Theses and Dissertations
Awareness of matters outside oneself can be heightened by a repetitive task, one that requires a meditative focus on the rudimentary of movement. The construction of a line is a projection from a fixed point that creates a multiplicity of lines, synapses, and connective fabric in the mind that project outward to any possible or arbitrary point. When assembling our reality, our eyes operate as the mediators of such points, drawing in visual clues to the world around us. Sight is composed from the movement of light particles alongside of individual and collective memories that construct what is.
“After-Ozymandias”: The Colonization Of Symbols And The American Monument, H. R. Membreno-Canales
“After-Ozymandias”: The Colonization Of Symbols And The American Monument, H. R. Membreno-Canales
Theses and Dissertations
After-Ozymandias examines the visual rhetoric of American patriotism through its many symbols, including flags and monuments. My thesis project consists of photographs of empty plinths, objects, products and archival materials. Countless relics remain today memorializing leaders and empires that inevitably declined, from antiquity to modern times. Looking back at distant history feels like a luxury, though: the question for our time in America is whether we have the strength of mind as a society to scrutinize our history, warts and all.
Profanation, Tsahi Zac H. Hacmon
Profanation, Tsahi Zac H. Hacmon
Theses and Dissertations
This paper attempts to provoke an Israeli American dialogue that comes through profanity of conventional architecture. I am creating this dialogue by displaying two main subjects in proximity to each other: border architecture from Israel and institutional architecture or non-places in New York.
Making Sounds, Patrick Costello
Making Sounds, Patrick Costello
Theses and Dissertations
Using collaboration and performance as tools, I situate my personal story, my body, and my skills and interests within a contemporary landscape that is intersectional, full of partialities, and rooted in evolving ecologies.
Polaroid Access, Becky Jane Rosen
Polaroid Access, Becky Jane Rosen
Theses and Dissertations
In her thesis statement, Becky Jane Rosen discusses the relationships between photography, family, and the psyche through her recent paintings and artistic influences.
The Tragic Notion Of Painting, Yang Yu
The Tragic Notion Of Painting, Yang Yu
Theses and Dissertations
The tragic notion in my painting is to remind the viewers of the preciousness of their lives. My paintings convey the same feeling as Rothko achieved with his dark paintings. I express my personal experience on the canvas by employing colors and cinematic Atmosphere.
Xu Zhen & Madein Company: The Phenomenon Of Artist-Company, Qianfan Gu
Xu Zhen & Madein Company: The Phenomenon Of Artist-Company, Qianfan Gu
Theses and Dissertations
The thesis is about the phenomenon of "artist-company" -- commercial methodologies employed by contemporary artists are determining their artworks. Taking XuZhen as a case study, it attempts to understand the phenomenon through aspects including art autonomy and institutional theories. It argues that "artist-company" is a continuation of institutional critique.
