The Creative Research Laboratory introduces Amuse-Bouche, a selection of tasty treats from eight University of Texas at Austin MFA students curated by eight Art History graduate students. This show marks the seventh consecutive year of collaboration between Department of Art and Art History graduate students on a summer exhibition at the CRL. This select group of work represents a wide range of media including painting, sculpture, large-scale works on paper, and video.
Featured artists are Jonathan Aseron, Sonya Berg, Michael Coyle, Kristina Felix, Robert Melton, Teruko Nimura, Josh Welker, and Joseph Winchester. The exhibition curators are Katie Anania, Ariel Evans, Katie Geha, Allison Myers, Deborah Spivak, Caitlin Topham, Danielle Wells, and Hannah Wong.
Summer Salon exhibits a refreshing variety of artworks by studio graduate students in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Texas at Austin. In true salon style, the exhibition establishes a flexible framework for artists to present their diverse techniques and thematic concerns. Working in the media of painting, photography, sculpture, and video, ten artists offer a mix of perspectives to create a unique artistic dialogue. These artists express themes of representation, landscape, industry, materiality, and time; in collaboration their artworks reveal meaningful differences among subtle yet indicative connections. Ranging from expressive portraiture to conceptual narratives, the works in this exhibition share the conceptual undertones of spatial relationships and material identity. The artists thus contribute to a broad pattern while their individual styles appear in striking contrast.
