Heretic Territories: Spells For Fracture, Mia Greenwald
Heretic Territories: Spells For Fracture, Mia Greenwald
Masters Theses, 2020-current
This monograph accompanies the MFA thesis exhibition, Heretic Territories: spells for fracture. The show uses video, weaving, clay, and bacterial/fungal bodies in three main bodies of work: Inter; Lost, remain, fracture; and For, Of Them. The pieces, and the relationship between them, explore themes of magic, the body, and land in contradiction and opposition to colonial and capitalist structures. I approach the artificial hierarchies that subjugate people, non-human creatures, and land while trying not to replicate the mistakes of posthumanist scholarship that bypasses the fact that not all people are afforded full access to the category …
Dirt Circus: Queering Sports And Home Through Filth, Hannah Patteson
Dirt Circus: Queering Sports And Home Through Filth, Hannah Patteson
Masters Theses, 2020-current
This monograph accompanies the MFA Thesis Exhibition, “Dirt Circus”. I outline the history of circus and carnival culture and the ways in which queer identities are expressed through these artistic modes. I describe the nonconforming expressions of gender in these arenas through bearded ladies, aerialists, clowns, and the freak show. I then explore various groups from the 70’s to present day, including Bread and Puppet Theater, The Cockettes, and Split Britches, who utilize performance to further their ideologies of gender freedom, anti-capitalism, and sexual liberation. I compare our differing uses of cheap art and public engagement within the realm of …
More Than Just Food, Haden King
More Than Just Food, Haden King
Masters Theses, 2020-current
Our relationship with the natural world--as it relates to our production of food--is complex. Drawing inspiration from principles of regenerative agriculture, my paintings explore the dynamics and perceptions surrounding food, health, and a sustainable future. I deliberately use idealized images--some of which comes from corporate marketing campaigns--to examine the tension between what is real and what is fake.
Nest, Camillia Elci
Nest, Camillia Elci
Masters Theses, 2020-current
The major themes in this body of work are time and layers. These themes are linked by the materiality of the work. Intentional destruction and recreation, perpetually. The work is constantly being made, destroyed, and remade. It is always partly past and partly future. Nest is a self portrait displaying objects acquired and made over the past several years.
Spinning Plates, Anikó K.L. Sáfrán
Spinning Plates, Anikó K.L. Sáfrán
Masters Theses, 2020-current
Spinning Plates is an intermedia exhibition based on multitasking, at times to an absurd level, to address the gendered division of care labor in a typical, heteronormative household. One hundred years into the pursuit of passing an Equal Rights Amendment, women are still taking on the majority of duties related to managing and caretaking the household and its children, even though most women have also joined the income-generating labor force. At the core of the exhibit are performance-based videos of the mother-artist multitasking, completing household chores, exercising, and creating art. Some of the artworks are action paintings, others are drawings …
And All The Things That Grew On The Ground, Sarah E. Phillips
And All The Things That Grew On The Ground, Sarah E. Phillips
Masters Theses, 2020-current
This is a document archiving and describing my work for the years 2019-2021 as part of the completion requirements for the Master of Fine Arts degree. As a whole, this work investigates the paradox and negotiations of access to the self, the history, and to the landscape you occupy. It asks questions about authorship, valuing, sacred and sacrament, but retains the gravitation, umbilical tie to memoir and narrative. Ritual, habit, and transformational cleansing are recurring themes in the work. Body, breath-- access to the invisible. Preservation of the uncertain. Fragility carries weight, and importance, destruction and negotiation as vessels of …
