Experimentation with the Void is a collaborative showcase featuring 11 advanced students from The University of New Mexico College of Fine Arts Studio Art program. The show is at Exhibit 208 Gallery, one of the first physical shows since the pandemic shutdown began last year.
These artists explore different perspectives, qualities, and arrangements of contemporary artwork, with a wide range of intentions: dismantling gender and celebrating queer culture, exploring the internal emotion life during COVID19, examining photographic vs. personal memory and the relationship of identity to objects, re-rendering nature tactilely and reconsidering markers of progress through the lens of post-colonialism, creating contemplative spaces through still life, and expanding photography to portray the self.
