"Expansion" by Donald Moser
"Program" by Cullen McMackins
The first show in the Spring Semester BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) exhibition series features MTSU Department of Art candidates for graduation. The shows are divided into groups representing students in Studio Arts, such as book arts, clay, drawing, letter press, printmaking and sculpture and shows featuring the area of Graphic Design.
“Television, internet and mobile communication devices are things we use to communicate with each other on a daily basis . . . ironically causing us to become more disconnected with each other,” said Cullen McMackins regarding his piece “Program.”
GT McMahon is another degree candidate participating in the exhibit.
“My figures are representations of the human form in varying states of repair. The iron they are cast in, like the human body, is strong but is inherently brittle, easily broken and difficult to repair,” the artist said.
The series is entitled “Still Working” and also features the work of Rhett Moser, Jennifer Baker and Dave Rollins. It opens in the Todd Art Gallery with a reception at 6 p.m. Monday, March 19, and runs through March 22. The reception and exhibit are free and open to the public.
Todd Art Gallery hours are Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. For parking, directions or other information, call Eric Snyder at (615) 898-5653.
