Inapprorpiation

Coming together for a final B.F.A. Thesis show, Da Ying (B.F.A. '13), Jeff Ayars (B.F.A. '13), and Molly Messersmith (B.F.A. '13) create a show of contemporary fantasies. Ying has returned to Zhang Daquian's watercolor landscape of the Yangtze River, using digital means to understand Daquian's journey in today's sociopolitical context. Ayars explores personas in film using an exhaustive history of Ryan Gosling quotes. Ayars film will premier at Cinempolis on Friday, May 24 at 4 p.m. Messersmith's portraits juxtapose highly-saturated constructions of conventional female attractiveness with the young women who are supposed to embody them.

Vani Subramanian Exhibition: OPA|CITY

Fri, 31 May 2013 13:45:50 +0000

The gendered body is an opaque presence. Sometimes belonging, sometimes owning, sometimes alienated. Always aware, always strategizing. Often framing and, even more often, being framed by the spaces it inhabits, in permanence or in passing. Spaces imagined by convention, inscribed with sexuality, activated by memory, and located at the intersection of image and image-making.

Vani Subramanian, a documentary filmmaker from India, is currently a Fulbright Fellow at Cornell University in the Department of Performing and Media Arts. This installation had been sponsored by AAP and the Elizabeth Worman Fund.

Special thanks to Anna Mascorella, Iftikhar Dadi, Bernard Yenelouis, Carolyn K. Palladino, Christopher G. Christensen, Divya Dileep, Jerry Birchfield, Julie L. Tibbits, Mary E. Fuller, Mary N. Woods, Michelle Wilson, Randy L. Hendrickson, Sabine Haenni, and Sophia Balagamwala.
