UNM Graduate Exhibition
We are in mysterious contact with the powers besieging us, ready to call forth a miracle.
February 4 - April 1, 2017
Opening reception Saturday, Feb. 4 6-9 pm
Juried by Candice Hopkins
There is potential in fragments and there is possibility in pieces and in parts. As stand-ins for the whole, they offer new narratives created out of the freedom of improvisation. On view are many parts. There is a pair of lithe hands piercing a window blind; a piece of a multi-coloured tapestry; a video of a woman repeating the word ‘sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry…;’ banners for a party that never materializes; bits of sunburned skin; peeling wallpaper; and parts of houses seemingly conjured from beneath salty surfaces.
Along with fragments there are also portraits, none of which are straightforward. Some portraits look as though they are visible because of digital interference, others picture the anxiety of our age: ‘put money in banks that align with your beliefs;’ yet others are produced through memory—the open door of a familiar bedroom—and the remainder are made visible by their traces, a golden print of body hair and three letters in the Cherokee syllabary made of thin thread.
The philosopher Walter Benjamin once wrote that ‘finished works weigh lighter than [the] fragments.’ The works at the beginning of each artist’s career are heavy with intent. Necessarily so. Collectively, they offer glimpses into other worlds and, at their best, reveal insights into ourselves, as well.”
