Transient: MFA Thesis Exhibition
Drawings that map a strategy and plan a future.
Sculptures that link structure, motion, and sound in real time.
Photographs that serve as witness to uneasy memories.
Three diverse artistic expressions on the nature of time slipping away.
- Robert Flynn Johnson, Curator Emeritus
The Department of Art & Art History at Stanford University is pleased to present Transient on view on May 20 – June 15, 2008 with a reception on May 23, from 5-7 PM at the Thomas Welton Stanford Art Gallery. Transient is an exhibition of artwork created by Stanford University’s three graduating artists for their final MFA Thesis. The artists include Matt Jones, Lordy Rodriguez and Naomi Vanderkindren.
Matt Jones presents four pieces in the exhibition, the largest of which is a commissioned sculpture that responds to traffic flow. The sculpture, Traffic Wave, is made from woven strips that undulate and pop in response to a live video feed of the traffic outside of the gallery. The sculpture started as a depiction of the weight of the cars on the asphalt of highway 280 and grew to address how one should view a highway, full of drivers, moving in an out of the viewer’s own awareness of the world.
In Lordy Rodriguez’s work, First Colony, the goal is to become its own sovereign nation. He builds an immigration office where people can decide whether or not they want to become a citizen. Maps are provided that show the general area around the colony, a map of that shows the indigenous cultures that surround the colony, a map of the colony itself, and maps of individual plots of land that are for sale. An infomercial will greet potential citizens as they walk in the gallery, and other information materials will also be available.
Naomi Vanderkindren exhibits Paramnesia, a selection of large-scale photographs from glass-plate negative alongside the intimate scale of the tintype. Both of these forms provide channels to consider history, memory, fantasy and actual experience. For Vanderkindren, these photographs are autobiographical fictions that harness the suggestive power of photography toward new considerations on the theme of memory.
VISITOR INFORMATION: Thomas Welton Stanford Art Gallery is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 AM-5 PM, and Saturday and Sunday, 1-5 PM. Admission is free. The Gallery is located in the Stanford campus, off Palm Drive at 419 Lasuen Mall. Parking is free after 4 PM and all day on weekends. Information: (650) 723-2842, http://art.stanford.edu.
