This year seven students demonstrated how an ambitious liberal arts curriculum coupled with multidisciplinary investigation can lead to innovative and thought-provoking art production.

Through the mediums of painting, photography, video, collage, and assemblage these students explored facets of the human experience: love, fear, faith, self, space, time, and the environment.

The exhibition runs from May 9 - September 29, 2021.

This group exhibition features the work of nine practice-based art majors who each developed a body of work in their Senior Art Seminar class under the guidance and mentorship of Professor Beth Shipley. The show presents a broad range of capstone projects that engage the mediums of digital illustration, painting, animation, photography and mixed media. The work interrogates questions of identity in gender, religion, and culture. Personal histories are explored through self-portraiture and visual narratives. The breadth and scope of media and styles attest to the diversity of approaches and the unique visions that are the hallmark of the art program at Marymount Manhattan College.
In addition, this year we had our inaugural BFA solo exhibition, Picture Me Better, by Audrey Bresler. The independent study was done with Professor Shipley. Mixing 35mm and digital photography, Bresler created enhanced matte inkjet prints in a series of six themes exploring her fascination with girlhood.

Disegno-in-Motion is a group exhibition that features contemporary artists who explore animation as an extension of a traditional plastic arts process, as well as animators who walk the experimental edge where the ‘illusion of life’ succumbs to the allure of the infinite possibilities of the next frame.

Disegno, a term for visual thinking derived from the Italian Renaissance, suggests that all the plastic arts grow fundamentally out of the language of drawing. Drawing most intimately lays bare the artist’s thought process, which may be shaped through the material languages of yarn, paint, clay, and Photoshop. All artworks are time capsules that preserve the artist’s mind and their visual experiments which ultimately yield the work.

The time-based works on display are accompanied by objects used in the making of the animations. These include monumental puppets from a stop-motion performance with a human actor, canvases used in a hand-painted animation, a weaving documented in a time-lapse video, crayon drawings that were mapped into C.G. game environments, storyboards, sketches, and stills.

In addition to the main Hewitt gallery exhibition, several multi-channel works will be on display in the Digital Immersion Room in MMC’s new Judith Mara Carson Center for Visual Arts.

Artists in the exhibition include: Aryel René Jackson, Erma Fiend, Ezra Wube, Jeremy Couillard, Joseph Silver, Lorin Roser, Mari Jaye Blanchard, Matt Bollinger, Matt Richtards, Mike Estabrook, Scott Kiernan, Tadashi Moriyama, and Vandana Jain. Curated by Brian Zegeer with Hallie Cohen

Exhibition runs October 16 - December 5, 2023
