The Potency Of Emptiness, Kennedy L. Bailey
The Potency Of Emptiness, Kennedy L. Bailey
Theses and Dissertations
I investigate language and neurology by integrating intangible personal experiences with painted manifestations of rupture within structures. I utilize a hyperbolic translation of white and black to investigate the dismantling of a structure as an explicit quotation of space, matter, existence, and mind.
Feminism And The Staged Uncanny, Jessica C. Mensch
Feminism And The Staged Uncanny, Jessica C. Mensch
Theses and Dissertations
In my Thesis, I work towards a new definition of the uncanny and show the transformation of its sense in the modern period. I will then show how this transformed sense appears in the media of mechanical reproduction—stage theatrics, photography and film—and, then, specifically in my art practice.
Not Much ∆, Patrick C. Mohundro
Not Much ∆, Patrick C. Mohundro
Theses and Dissertations
In the paper, Patrick Carlin Mohundro processes his relationship to the loss of his father, painting, and mythologies filtered through his mother and female-identifying conceptualist, artists, and theorists.
Promiscuous Waves, Xuan Zheng
Promiscuous Waves, Xuan Zheng
Theses and Dissertations
For the project, I invited friends, lovers, and mentors to share their experiences and memories of cruising in public spaces. Growing up in China, I never had the chance to publicly discuss my concerns with my sexuality, and the sense of liberation in the West had always served as a source of hope. Only after I came to the United States, did I realize that the liberation was nothing more than an illusion. I made two road trips across America to take photographs and embrace a sense of freedom, but on the trips, I ended up having sex with many …
Fear Not The Harsh Winter, Emily D. Janowick
Fear Not The Harsh Winter, Emily D. Janowick
Theses and Dissertations
With rhythmic contraction and relaxation, blood vessels propel our life force through miles of mazes to the heart. This (peristaltic) rhythm moves us in waves. We mirror our insides outside, vessels carrying what matters, instinctively drawn to carry the patterns of those who came before us.

My paintings and me fight and wrestle. We leave room for the absurd and the comic.

...A Placebo, An Embryo, A Mosquito, My Libido, Andy Ralph
Theses and Dissertations
This blood-sucking song and dance is a trivial example of an absurd imbalance. In my universe, though, trivial and momentous are equally unranked qualities.
Memory Bread, Nisiqi
Memory Bread, Nisiqi
Art + Design Masters Theses
Memory Bread, constituting a daily performance ritual and the post-action objects, seeks to address the generational decline of mother language use in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, a post-colonized province of China. I chose to eat sliced white bread in the performance and later casted concrete sculptures as the extension of the action for both substances’ capitalistic nature. Being an invasive material that took over the traditional architectural lifestyle, the use of concrete mirrors the pervasive cultural and ethnic assimilation in China. Meanwhile, the materiality of concrete being a mixture of various substances also metaphors the mixed culture that Chinese-Mongolians …

Small Packages, Caitlin E. Harris
Small Packages, Caitlin E. Harris
Senior Projects Spring 2020
I chose to honor a lifelong impulse to make small objects. As my mother describes: “you've always been self sufficient and could get lost making things in your creative world. You were very independent and perfectly content spending hours entertaining yourself.” “Small Packages” is a collection of work created and installed entirely from my home. I spent a year making drawings and sculptures of a certain scale in order to accumulate enough tiny pieces that, when put together, would produce something impactful. I worked in a variety of mediums, including drawing, painting, screenprinting, casting, carving, weaving, felting, and sculpting, and …
I Hope My Black Skin Don't Dirt This White Tuxedo, Luis A. Vasquez La Roche
I Hope My Black Skin Don't Dirt This White Tuxedo, Luis A. Vasquez La Roche
Theses and Dissertations
I Hope My Black Skin Don't Dirt This White Tuxedo is a series of works--sculpture, installations, and performances--that explore themes of shame, failure, commodity, ephemerality, ritual, resilience, erasure, race, and death. The research and interest in these themes stem from a page of the Trinidad and Tobago Slave Registry. I use the research that surrounds this document to highlight different moments in history, in my personal life, and to imagine near futures.
Kavana: Photography, Jewish Storytelling, And Memory, Hannah Altman
Kavana: Photography, Jewish Storytelling, And Memory, Hannah Altman
Theses and Dissertations
Jewish thought suggests that the memory of an action is as primary as the action itself. This is to say that when my hand is wounded, I remember other hands. I trace ache back to other aches - when my mother grabbed my wrist pulling me across the intersection, when my great-grandmother’s fingers went numb on the ship headed towards Cuba fleeing the Nazis, when Miriam’s palms enduringly poured water for the Hebrews throughout their desert journey - this is how the Jew is able to fathom an ache. Because no physical space is a given for the Jewish diaspora, …

Why do some have access while others do not?
Think about your answer, don’t say it aloud.
To say it out loud is a privilege which we have and others do not.
Two ways to see it: what are you restricted from and others have access to?
Or: what do you have access to which others are restricted from?
Each of us are unique compilations of acquired knowledge.
Which is based on the availability and limitations of opportunities.
The unfortunate hierarchy of the world is decided by education and wealth.
Education is not freely available.
We are all told “you …
Language, Memory, Place: Building On Disappearance, Alexi Butts
Language, Memory, Place: Building On Disappearance, Alexi Butts
Scripps Senior Theses
Language, Memory, Place is an investigation into clay’s therapeutic and tactile qualities. When combined, these attributes make clay an effective tool for priming spoken communication, increasing connectivity and serving as a tangible means of accessing and physically grounding abstract memories of home.
Conducted in France throughout the summer of 2019, my research set out to engage French speakers in a reflective dialogue on what it means to transform empty spaces into ones filled with feeling and meaning of home. In addition to verbal conversation, I simultaneously directed individuals of different ages, origins and living in seven different cities through an …

“…the multiform animal has an environment just as richly articulated as it is.”
Jakob von Uexkull, A Foray Into the Worlds of Animals and Humans
I am a compulsive art-maker. I have an obsessive level of focus but it is hard to harness that for an hour, not to mention a year. Oftentimes I can’t keep myself from switching directions, even when the turn is one-hundred eighty degrees. A more patient art maker might see me like a chipmunk, an animal incapable of fine movements, running, jerking, …
In The Shadows And Folds, Julia Mueller
In The Shadows And Folds, Julia Mueller
Senior Projects Spring 2020
In the shadows and folds is the result of a mental scavenger hunt that I began this past year, to uncover myself and find what is hidden in my crevices. It was spurred by my fear of memory loss which had grown to such a size that it sat visible in the back of my mind unaddressed for some time. The reason for this fear is not large but it feels monumental. I have been existing in various states of sadness and disconnect, which have acted like a thick blanket over my mind. This blanket is simultaneously protective and damaging, …
Making Space For You, Livia Elizabeth Sponberg-Paraday
Making Space For You, Livia Elizabeth Sponberg-Paraday
Senior Projects Spring 2020
Making Space for You is a senior thesis submitted to The Division of Arts of Bard College. I created Making Space for You over the course of 8 months in my studio and in my living room of my apartment. My intentions for my paintings are to create an aesthetically awesome image that the viewer is automatically attracted to. I use color confidently to make the paintings strong and catchy. I enjoy painting people, hands, feet and objects. The project began with oil paint and the goal to teach myself to paint an image of people in a space in …
Installation: Untitled#0420, Thesis: Is The Artist’S Position Valid And Necessary To Her Completed Artworks ? —— An Investigation Of The Artist’S Position Through Martin Heidegger’S Poetry, Language, Thought And The Fisherman Analogy, Coco Ma
Senior Projects Spring 2020
Artist statement:
In my practice of mixed-media sculptures and installations, I use different kinds of materials in unexpected ways to provoke uncertainties, inquiries, and reflections. My works entice people to stop and pay close attention. In this process, they may be confused and amused. By being labor- intensive and repetitive with ordinary materials, my works inspire people to see familiar forms and materials in new and fresh ways. Underneath the familiarity of the materials is the “white noise,” a hum of dissonance between the familiar and the strange.
The installation Untitled#0420 uses fishing lines as its major component, which is …
Systematic Fractures, Lucas Bourgine
Systematic Fractures, Lucas Bourgine
Senior Projects Spring 2020
At the end of the road, facing the beach a woman sits in her car, her face dimly lit by her phone screen. While the incessant scroll happens, I observe, ponder, let time and space communicate. As for myself, strewn about the landscape I construct and puzzle. At hand is my own personal catharsis, never forgetting an imagined viewer in the back of my mind. Whether it be through guiding their sight, misleading them, confusing them, obscuring their vision, making them question. Ultimately, I want to play and push boundaries of space and three dimensionality, all the while observing a …

I Think You Were In My Dream Last Night
I have always worked by creating opportunities for mistakes and then fixing them. I’ve taken inspiration from the things I pick up every day: cups, necklaces, coat hangers, tables, chairs. I’ve taken inspiration from my dreams. They are always based in reality but twisted into a shape I’ve never seen before, and I wonder where these ideas come from. When I wake up, the people or the places I dreamt about are changed forever by a new perspective, out of my control. That is an idea I wanted to sift through …

Body Politic: A Critical Comparison Of Marina Abramovic And Chris Burden, Lauren Minor
Body Politic: A Critical Comparison Of Marina Abramovic And Chris Burden, Lauren Minor
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
A significant component of contemporary arts is performance art. Two spearheads of the birth of performance art are the Serbian artist Marina Abramovic, and the American Chris Burden, both of whom worked primarily in the 1970s. Abramovic and Burden have often been compared for the similar characteristics of their work: both artists create intense, provocative, and violent work. While Abramovic uses these aspects of her work to make political or social commentary, and connect to her audiences on a humanistic level, Burden uses these aspects without creating a deeper meaning or inspiring thoughtful dialogue. By exploring several comparable works by …
Design Thinking & Strategic Product Planning For Highly Engineered Products, Shannon Dare Wayne
Design Thinking & Strategic Product Planning For Highly Engineered Products, Shannon Dare Wayne
Wayne State University Dissertations
This paper offers an integrated framework to systematically address routine challenges plaguing early product development for highly engineered and complex products, such as automobiles. The framework includes up-front strategic product planning leveraging ‘design thinking’ and ‘design execution’ through a structured process to enable adaptation under uncertainties in the product development lifecycle for customer delight and program success. Included is product planning, from fuzzy front-end until product launch, and prioritizing aligned strategic initiatives while integrating design thinking throughout the process. We also discuss two real-world case studies to emphasize the efficacy of the framework and to demonstrate practical examples of how …

I describe my work as a collection of life experiences that are used to construct a narrative identity.
Changing Perceptions Of The Carceral Space Through Photography: The Tehachapi Project By Jr, Alexi Butts
Changing Perceptions Of The Carceral Space Through Photography: The Tehachapi Project By Jr, Alexi Butts
Scripps Senior Theses
“Can art change the world?”
In his global art practice, French artist JR transforms overlooked communities into valued canvases. With an approach rooted in collaboration, JR’s large-scale public photographic installations integrate the built environment into a visual experience of human life.
In October, 2019, JR and his team entered the maximum security prison in Tehachapi, California to embark on a new collaborative project: “Tehachapi.” This paper explores the impact of “Tehachapi” as it extends beyond the physical photograph wheat-pasted on the floor of the prison’s courtyard to touch on issues of humanity, power and accessibility. Created as a collage of …
...And Yet The Devil Exists, John Hee Taek Chae
...And Yet The Devil Exists, John Hee Taek Chae
Theses and Dissertations
...And Yet the Devil Exists is a project that explores the ways in which ideology determines reality. It is an installation that plots and connects the historical and personal narratives that have defined my sense of identity–narratives in which perceptions of reality shatter, mutate, or hybridize when confronted with power, opportunity, or coercion. The installation component of the project consists of three parts. The first is an infrastructure made of wooden beams upon which paintings and images are installed; I call this the lantern. In the center of this is a round table on top of which is a nonsensical …

A Story About A Girl With Snakes For Hair, Kate M. Turner
Theses and Dissertations
My work is autobiographical. I use various art making processes to create a visual archive of my life. By abstracting these memories and experiences, I can examine how culture works surrounding issues of identity. This is my story.
