Beyond: the Spring 2011 MFA Thesis Exhibition Opening Reception

The CU Art Museum and the Department of Art & Art History invite you to join us for Beyond: The Spring 2011 MFA Thesis Exhibition Opening Reception, held in the new CU Art Museum building, part of the Visual Arts Complex on the University of Colorado at Boulder campus.

 

Beyond, the elusive title of The Spring 2011 MFA Thesis Exhibition, captures various themes that are woven throughout the work of the nine artists featured in the exhibition. Works by Amber Dawn Cobb, Jesse Ryan Kuroiwa, Shannon Lowry, Adrianna Marie Santiago, Marcy Saude, Thomas Spradling, Kari Treadwell, Lydia Young, and Xi Zhang explore utopian and distopian realities of both the present and past focusing on what might lie, "beyond," the quotidian and banal, evoking a complex world in which beauty and pain are inextricably woven together.
