Event Description The group exhibition features UC San Diego Visual Arts MFA students in their final year. Participating artists: Jamil Baldwin, Rahul Basu, Sophia Cleary, Walker Hewitt, Izzai Martinez Angulo, Aambr Newsome, erika roos, and Andrew Wharton. The impulse to find meaning in the way an object or image is displayed or housed within a framing structure or device, speaks of our capacity to envision something as whole, in order to understand its context and connect with it. By intervening the frame itself, or that which contains, holds, or supports their images, the artists in this exhibition approach image- and object-making by courageously reversing the value-system of the gaze and reflecting it back acknowledging its implicit performativity. Working across film/video, painting, photography, and sculpture, the cohort’s individual conceptual practices seize the function of the frame to make whole and heal the hauntings of the layered detritus that remains after ritual and life itself.
