PNCA's MFA in Visual Studies Class of 2015 Thesis Exhibition.

PNCA - Commons (2nd Floor)

Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design

511 NW Broadway Portland, Oregon 97209

First Thursday Reception - June 4th 6-9pm

Thirteen is a culmination of work from the MFA in Visual Studies class of 2015’s past two years together. Although their mediums, aesthetics, and concepts may follow different lines of inquiry, what threads their individual practices together is the shared dialog and constant support that has thrived during their academic development. Thirteen showcases each artist’s work individually, but when taken as a whole, their collective influences, connections, and experiences highlight the creativity and inspiration amongst the group.

Exhibiting Artists: Maria Davidoff, Lucas Haley, Evan Isoline, Candace Jahn, Marisa Lee, Kelly McGovern, Jung Min, Bertrand Morin, Annie Oldenburg, Nick Patton, Katie Piatt, Veronica Reeves, and Micah Schmelzer.

PNCA MFA IN VISUAL STUDIES

Boris Groys in his essay “Education by Infection” examines contagion and illness as a metaphor that characterizes a productive condition for art education and practice today. Groys locates examples in the work and philosophy of Kazimir Malevich who portrayed the bombardment of influences and inputs directed at art students as a strain of bacilli, ever adapting and incorporating new forms by the host organism. Groys goes on to suggest the art academy once removed from the world, is now cast open to growing impressions and contradictions ¬¬– whether it be the art market, politics, ethical concerns or entertainment. Students who put themselves in this position are tasked without clear boundaries and often-indefinite solutions for their work. It is my hope that through risk and experimentation, we as students, educators and artists embrace such an uncomfortable and indeterminate space, where as Groys posits, we are both the infected and the infecting. This is both a place of vulnerability and influence. Through this lens the thirteen students in the graduating Visual Studies class of 2015 can leverage their time in art school and all the hard work it has taken, knowing that their efforts as creative artists will be that of adaptation and resilience.

Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts in Visual Studies

Thesis Oral Defense ScheduleClass of 2015

PNCA - 511 NW Broadway Portland, OR - Dorothy Lemelson Innovation Studio

Monday, August 3rd

4:00pm

Liz Randall, Wake, photography installation.

“Wake” uses Liz’s family photos digitally combined with her own photography to retell lost moments experienced over five generations. The installation probes how memories are forgotten, passed down, and retold in the wake of passing time.

5:30pm

Trish Brownlee, About Face, mixed media installation.

Through personal experience and research, Trish Brownlee explores post-9/11 military life in the mixed media artwork exhibited in About Face. This work was created through collaboration between artist and subject and suggests that art is capable of serving as a tool to bridge the gap between military and civilian communities. The exhibit offers a space for open communication and welcomes all who are willing to bear witness. This work serves as a voice for those who too often remain silent.

7:00pm

Alanna Risse, Chasing the Whale, immersive installation.

Chasing the Whale is an immersive installation embracing transformation and humor through the use of the sperm whale as symbolic representation of fear.

Tuesday, August 4th

4:00pm

Dana Rudolph, Omission, mixed media installation.

Through examination of personal history and personal anxiety Dana Rudolph creates memory spaces that are amalgamations of truth and fiction, of time and space, and of past and present. The work is inspired by loss and grief, and documents the physical toll of anxiety.

5:30pm

Judith Hochman, Otherwise, print installation and video.

Otherwise is an installation of multimedia prints on silk and a video projection. The human face in relationship to water is used as a strategy to examine the mutability, vulnerability and unknowability of the Other.

7:00pm

Amanda Wilcox, Poetics of Becoming Art, painting and photography.

Surface and the process of mark making within my work observes moments of beauty and discontent, and is a means of reimagining what could be. My amalgamations of photography, painting and drawing explore the influence of diverse perspectives, contemplative moments and the liminal threshold between two states of being.
