SUMMARY:The End That Never Was
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Mellon University School of Art 1st and 2nd Year MFA Exhibition\nThe Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and Carnegie Mellon University are pleased to present an exhibition featuring the work of first- and second-year MFA students from Carnegie Mellon’s School of Art. This exhibition highlights a dynamic range of contemporary art practices from emerging artists experimenting across media\, concepts\, and themes. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to engage with the next generation of influential artists as they expand their creative practices within Pittsburgh’s vibrant cultural landscape. \nFollowing obsessions and trains of thought\, The End That Never Was brings together eight artists from Carnegie Mellon School of Art Master of Fine Arts program. This collection of new works addresses contemporary notions of memory\, orientation\, and play. Informed by their varied studio practices which utilize film\, sound\, virtual space\, and tactile media\, this exhibition parses iterative and generative attempts at answering sometimes unanswerable questions. Broadly\, the works explore fan culture\, language acquisition\, memory\, affect\, disembodiment\, as well as the occupation of the peripheral. \n  \n\n    \n        \n            \n                Ashley A.

The series is made possible through a generous gift by the late Carnegie Mellon alumnus\, Russell Cameron and is named to honor Robert Lepper\, a highly regarded former member of the Carnegie Mellon School of Art faculty. \n  \nSchool of Art Lecture Series\nThe Carnegie Mellon School of Art Lecture Series is made possible in part by Elizabeth (Thompson) and Thomas M. Cox (A’29) Distinguished Artists Funds\, Robert L. Lepper Distinguished Lecture in Creative Inquiry\, and Orville M. Winsand Lecture for Critical Studies. Carnegie Mellon makes every effort to provide accessible facilities and programs for individuals with disabilities. This publication can be made available in an alternate format upon request.
