Re Entry : 2016 IMDA MFA Thesis Exhibition
UMBC’s Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture (CADVC) and the Department of Visual Arts will present the Intermedia and Digital Arts [IMDA] M.F.A. Thesis 2016 Exhibition, RE Entry, featuring the work of Tom Boram, Elena DeBold, Cliff Evans, and Wes Stitt.
These four artists will display thesis projects that investigate issues of race, science fiction, dystopias and car culture presented in a display that will include interactivity, video, sound, installation, prints, objects, performance, paintings, drawings and sculpture.
RTKL Award recipient and M.F.A. candidate, Elena DeBold, will discuss her thesis project Looking Out, on Monday, April 11 at 4:00 p.m in the CAVDC.Looking Out is DeBold’s installation work in the thesis exhibition, based on the artist’s experience growing up white in an all African-American suburb of Baltimore. The installation focuses on her rekindled relationship with a now incarcerated childhood friend. The intensity in this work is as tough as it is poetic, and consists of an interactive pool, video, and sound installation accompanied by objects and ephemera.
