Reception: Friday, April 26, 6-9PM
Open hours: April 27-28, 12-4PM
In this pop-up exhibition, the students have created work that find its lens and inspiration in Hammons’ wit, sarcasm, compassion, and complex practices, but their work moves beyond these elements to engage questions identity, culture, ritual, and art making. Support for these projects was generously provided by Art Bridges.
Everything I’ve Never Said
April 4 – April 18, 2024
Opening on Thursday, April 4, 4:30 – 6:30 pm
Artist talks on Monday, April 8, 4:30 – 6:30 pm
The fifteen graduating Binghamton University Art & Design BFA students will feature their works in the exhibition Everything I’ve Never Said. The exhibition opens to the public April 4th, with an opening reception at 4:30 pm, and will remain on view until April 18th. Artist talks will take place Monday, April 8th at 4:30 pm. All events are free and open to the public.
This exhibition represents the culmination of their BFA degree program and features artworks spanning multiple disciplines, including painting, drawing, graphic design, printmaking, sculpture, game design, video installation, and more. Everything I’ve Never Said is an ode to life’s unspoken moments and a celebration of art’s ability to materialize the experiences, emotions, and personal narratives of the participating artists. It is also an invitation to viewers to explore themes of introspection, reflection, and self-discovery, as each artist confronts the unspoken and finds solace in the act of creation.
Binghamton University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) is a pre-professional degree with an intensive focus in studio art and design for students who wish to pursue arts-related careers. Our students go on to work in a wide range of creative industries; as practicing artists after graduation; or go on to pursue graduate degrees. Students can choose to concentrate in Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Printmaking, or Graphic Design.
The 2024 BFA artists are: Zoe Congdon, Anna Faulkner, Gabriella Harbord, Jade Kirdahy, Santa Barbara Maslar, Atlas Mason, Giovanna Mitchell, Em O’Brien, Santiago Parra, Addy Phoenix, Fahim Rahman, Caitlin Smith, Fiona Sullivan, Alexa Valadez, and Samantha Velasquez-Ballin.
Betsy Jo Williams, a longtime member of the Cooperative Gallery teams up with her daughter Amy McLaren in a joint show called “A Tale of Two Stories.” Williams works clay and wood sculptures and Williams-Mclaren is an oil painter. “A daughter and a mother. One in her late 70’s one in her late 40’s. Each has her own story to tell but then isn’t all art about stories? Some stories are more camouflaged than others. Some are beautiful stories. Some are sad. Some are told in a way that makes you smile or laugh even when the story is not a happy one. People respond differently to the same story since they bring their own experiences and interpretations into it.” OPEN Fridays 5-8 pm Saturdays 11 am- 3 pm and by appt with the artists. Art Talk on third Thursdays at 7 pm via Zoom or in person.
