“The Class of 2024 has faced enormous cultural change during four years as undergraduate students. Due to the pandemic, they have adapted to different ways of working together, but creating in the face of so much flux seems to have heightened these students\u2019 attentiveness to manipulating images and materials in new ways,” writes Dana Clancy<\/a>, Director, School of Visual Arts; Associate Professor of Art, Painting, in the BFA Thesis catalog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Through their work this group of talented young artists and designers also invite us to become aware of how we engage with the flow of time. They dig into the past – working with archives, considering visual traditions from home countries, or making paintings of objects – including photographs – from their parents or grandparents\u2019 lives. They also experiment with recent technology, exploring the impact of digital worlds on human experiences, utilizing AI, and speculating about the future through their experimental processes. The exhibitions in Stone and 808 Galleries at CFA create a sense of flow for the viewer between individual experience and larger social questions; we encounter a stream of sources from the world manipulated in unique ways by each student.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
