Opening Saturday, August 7, Creative Research Laboratory presents in::formation, introducing work by seven Master of Fine Arts candidates, curated by four graduate students, all from the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Texas at Austin. The opening reception will take place from 6 to 9 pm at the Lab, located at 2832 East Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.

in::formation is the second of two summer exhibitions organized collaboratively by students in the Department of Art and Art History. The artists featured in in::formation are Ledia Carroll, Meggie Chou, Barna Kantor, Erick Michaud, Jared Steffenson, Michael Osborne, Thuy-Van Vu, and Eric Zimmerman. The exhibition is organized by Amanda Douberley, Heather Mathews, Marie-Adele Moniot, and Chelsea Weathers.

The artists in this exhibition challenge our assumptions about everyday life. In sculpture and video works some explore mundane experiences, from the seemingly banal matter of the weather to intimate rituals performed only behind closed doors, engaging the viewer both physically and intellectually. Other artists reconfigure aspects of our ordinary environment in drawings and photographs, through changes in scale and the meticulous repetition of key components, encouraging the formation of mutable understandings of space and self.

A catalogue of essays and interviews will accompany the exhibition.

Creative Research Laboratory presents a year-round schedule of exhibitions of work by students and faculty at the University of Texas at Austin and also facilitates workshops, performances, demonstrations, seminars and collaborations.

The Lab is located at 2832 East Martin Luther King Boulevard , located in East Austin at 2832 East Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, inside Flatbed World Headquarters. There is ample free parking and bus service available on Capitol Metro's route 18.
