MFA First Year

I love the added walls in this show, not only do these alterations help make the gallery feel less crowded, they also give more individuality to a space we are all so familiar with. They add character and make the show stronger.

I like the size of the visiting artist’s work. His large scale gives a richness to the space, especially in contrast to all the smaller objects in the next room. When putting a show together, it is important to get a good mix of work that will compliment each other, and I think his work is crucial in this show.

Some pieces feel as though they are competing for attention and space. People assigned walls in the same room need to communicate in order to avoid problems like this. It may have helped to experiment with showing less work and leaving more space in between each artist.


Some pieces I really loved:

Catherine Haggarty’s Untitled (Milk Cartons)

Erin Dunn’s Installation
