Description

We are excited to announce the opening of the College for Creative Studies Art Practice Senior Thesis Show! Stop by, take a look ~inside~ Featuring works by the CCS Art Practice department's 2021 graduating class: Noor Albahrani, Sarah Rasmussen, Kaio Huvaere, Melanie Kelley, Olivia Russo, Cailyn Dawson, Ana Barerra Garza, Kristen Mesa, and Mars Richardson. "The common theme amongst the mindset of these artists seems to be touching on an experience similar to seeing the world through a sheer translucent veil. Whether intentional or not, the recognition of the coexistence and agency of the relationship between the inner and outer world is at play, and there is no filter that is attempting to hide this current state of mind. We can see this group of nine artists as active participants in the pluralistic approach to creative production. There is a perceived incongruence between the group as the aesthetic decision making and material choices vary widely. However, beyond the surface level, it is possible to locate consistency in their investigations of the inner world vs outer reality through, for instance, open discussions about experiences of diaspora, dysmorphia and the collapse and regeneration of meaning." -Ashley Cook, RunnerDetroit Please be aware you will have to wear a mask to enter.
