The Knockdown Serenade | MFA Thesis Exhibition

Northlight Gallery 

A thick atmosphere settles over Grant Street. Blue raspberry, green apple, cherry cola; a choir of fallen stars singing the latest fountain soda one-hit wonder. Filthy sweet voices after dark, slushed dreams and mixed feelings. Step in and let yourself be permeated by the pure contamination of The Knockdown Serenade

The Ruin | MFA Thesis Exhibition

Step Gallery

"Wondrous is this wall's foundation—the fates have broken and shattered this city; the work of giants crumbles." An ancient citadel falls. Wisdom crumbles. Time moves on without witness. The Ruin is an elegy for everything that disappears: the architecture, the people, the memory of what was great. Come and stand inside the question it leaves behind.

Come early, stay late and celebrate the artists who made it all happen.
