NYAB Event - "Off the Map: MFA Visual Arts Department at Mason Gross School of the Arts" Exhibition

This event has ended.
At WHITE BOX
Media: Painting, Sculpture, Video installation

Mason Gross School of the Arts is taking Manhattan with an exhibit of paintings, sculpture, works on paper, and video by more than a dozen 2010 MFA graduates. The show, called "Off the Map," is part of the yearly "Rutgers in New York" series. "The Complex," a massive drawing by Brian Campbell, is a representation of a utopia, but utopia as a place devoid of people. In this fantastical image, we see imaginative structures set in a landscape of water and mountains. Campbell’s work also references cinematic representations of architecture in such films as "Metropolis" and "Logan’s Run." Lety Luevanos’ paintings, along with an installation— here all the hair she has cut within the last year, encased in individual jars— serve as altars to honor the lives of Latinas murdered near Mexican border towns. Viktor Witkowski’s oil painting "Khost District, Afghanistan" depicts the site of a terrorist attack.
