MA Candidates are exhibition work developed during Visual Art: Theory & Practice, a core, concept-driven studio class, in which students learn a wide range of art-making strategies (from photography to artists’ books), in pursuit of original ideas, while gaining a comprehension of current trends in the visual arts. The exhibition continues through Wednesday, December 11, in room 101 at 33 E. Congress. Hours are Monday 1-5 p.m., Tuesday 1-5 p.m., and Wednesday 5-7 p.m.
