Two 2020 Lawrence graduates, Tanner MacArthur and Callie Kiesow, visited with Lawrence community members via Zoom on Thursday, Feb. 25 to discuss their joint show “dissolve/resolve,” which is on show now at the Wriston Art Galleries. The two were scheduled to show their senior exhibitions in the spring of 2020, but after Lawrence went online in March, they were unable to do so. Since graduating in June, MacArthur and Kiesow have inhabited several spaces where they adapted to COVID-19 restrictions and continued to make work in several “studio spaces,” such as bedrooms and cold garages, until they moved in together at their current home in Milwaukee. In their time at Lawrence, they often shared a studio space, so it only felt natural for them to continue existing in the same place as they progressed with their work.
