A Glimpse into the Future of Art
Starting March 16 and continuing through April 17, UIC's 2010 Masters of Fine Arts candidates will exhibit the culmination of their graduate work. These exhibits will include the work of students in Visual Art, Photography, Moving Image and Electronic Visualization. The exhibitions take place in five day runs, with a pause for Spring Break.
From what I can tell, the work looks really interesting and all over the board-- from interactive installations to quirky graphite drawings. Anyone curious to see the direction art is going or what they are teaching in MFA programs these days should try to make it to at least one of these shows.
