In Memory: Ralitza Kuncheva
January 7 - 18, 2008
Ralitza Kuncheva, an MFA painting student was killed tragically in a car accident in mid-December 2007. With permission from her family we chose to begin the semester with an exhibition of her work from her studio.
MAD vs. MAD
January 22 - February 1, 2008
Inspired by the Alfred E. Neuman exhibition in Ford Gallery, IGG is hosting its own show of MAD Magazine-inspired artwork. We asked students to create artwork in any media. The only guideline was that the work must be related to MAD Magazine, the Alfred E. Neuman character, or any other MAD related materials.
Surface and Structure
February 4 - 22, 2008
"Surface and Structure" is a collaborative exhibition between more than 20 advanced sculpture and advanced drawing students sponsored by professors Jen Locke and Brian Nelson. It will examine the relationship between form and mark, color and surface, and the working processes related to the fields of sculpture and drawing.
BFA Exhibition: Rob Todd
"Tangible Sarcasm (& other stuff I made)"
March 10 - 21, 2008
Rob Todd, a BFA sculpture student exhibits his conceptual mechanical creations. "My sculptures primarily deal with humor, irony, cynicism, sarcasm, and commentary on perceptions of what art should or should not be. In the end I want the viewer to look at my sculpture, laugh, and then begin to think about what else I’m trying to say beyond the humor." The exhibition also featured furniture work from three semesters.
BFA Exhibition: Mary Perrin
"The End of an Era"
March 25 - April 4, 2008
Perrin, primarily a painter and sculptor, describes her work as, "art about things that all people have some sort of experience with or knowledge of in order to try to communicate my thoughts and feelings in a common language." She deals with two primary themes in her work - war and the past. "One of my main concerns is how people become desensitized and uncaring about these two things, although they both remain."
BFA Exhibition: Cara Garnett
"Below the Surface"
April 7 - 18, 2008
"My sculptures are figures made with packaging tape and other mixed media, including fabric, wire, and rubber latex. I want [the packaging tape] to show [the mermaid's] mythological qualities. According to stories, they would lure people with their beauty and then steal their soul."
MFA Exhibition: Jenn Stucker
"Common Abnormalities: Juxtapositions from (A)Typical Modes"
April 21 - May 1, 2008
Graphic Design functions through the presentation of the familiar while seducing the viewer with the unexpected. Through modes of personal narratives and/or fixed methods, my work explores the intersecting of identifiable, but initially unrelated elements.
MFA Exhibition: Melissa Machnee
"The Power of Attraction"
May 5 - 16, 2008
The power of attraction investigates human order. What is it that attracts us to certain things and why? I use the Native American Power Animal guide as a primal reference to this mystery. What animal are you drawn to and why?
BFA Exhibition: Andrea Gruber
