The James Pearson Duffy Department of Art, Art History, and Design is pleased to present Unseen Domains at the Art Department Gallery, March 1 through April 5, 2024.  An opening reception will be held on Friday, March 1, 5-8PM.  This exhibition features artworks by graduating WSU MFA students who practice in a variety of disciplines and approaches.  Exhibiting artists include Megan G. DeShields, Taylor Gamlin, Lolo Katz Nosanchuk, and Robin Jourdan.  

Each piece exhibited, is a testament to the artist's dedication to reclaiming relationships with nature, faith, and community through a range of artistic expressions. Megan's hollow paper pulp reliefs and cast-iron relics hold sacred space for contemplation. Taylor's powerful projections and vinyl timelines challenge the canon of American graphic design and culture. Lolo’s interactive video installations envision alternative realms and test the boundaries of a permeable and collaborative approach to artmaking. Robin's digital and fibers-based exploration of nature and subtle energy in the Great Lakes and Detroit River aims to inspire and captivate. The artists’ collaboration to interpret the space allows the viewer to reflect, bringing awareness to personal motives.    

Additional programming includes an gallery talk with Robin Jourdan on Saturday, March 2 at 1pm; and a closing gallery talk with Megan G. DeShields, Taylor M. Gamlin and Lolo Katz Nosanchuk  on Friday, April 5, 6-7:30PM. Performance, workshops, and additional events will be held throughout the exhibition.
