The first year MFA students are a passionate group of emerging artists. This past month their cohort got together to present a show titled Body Embodied in Gallery 148 on the MCAD main campus. The concept was driven by each artists interpretation of the 'body' which came together in the form of a multimedia exhibition and an artist talk mediated by director Ellen Mueller. On the day of the opening, curator Junyao Zhang '21 organised a performance piece, where Zhang posed as a techno/trance DJ, thus transforming the gallery space in to a "rave" experience. The cohort encouraged the audience to dance among the artwork, the ambience of which resembled that of a night club due to the dancing fluorescent lights. People were also encouraged to view the work in this new ambience. During the artist talk, the cohort guided a tour around the gallery where each artist spoke about their work and answered questions from the audience. Participating artists included: Junyao Zhang '21 Jocelyn McDonald '21 Trina Fernandez '21 Alondra Garza '21 Kyle Voss '21 Darren Schneibel '21 Zhangruo Sun '21 Yao Jian '21 Photography by Emma Shen For more information about student activities, visit: Facebook Page Instagram Categories All Events Student Activities
