IN AN ECHO

PARSONS MFA PHOTOGRAPHY THESIS EXHIBITION 2016

AUGUST 8 – SEPTEMBER 7, 2016
OPENING RECEPTION: AUGUST 24, 7PM

Parsons School of Design at The New School presents IN AN ECHO, an exhibition of thesis work from its MFA Photography program at the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center. Works include photographs, computer-generated imaging, 3D imaging and printing, video, and installation pieces.

The exhibition features thesis work by Elizabeth Harnarine, Fernanda Kock, Alex Kwok, Kyle Meyer, Cecilia Mezulic, Varvara Mikushkina, CHR!S REEL, Zhongjia Sun, and Mengya Xiao.

Under the direction of James Ramer, the studio-based Parsons MFA Photography program brings visionary students together with influential photographers and faculty members Arthur Ou, Craig Kalpakjian, Jeanine Oleson, Laura Parnes, and Miranda Lichtenstein, among others. Students are encouraged to develop their individual vision in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment and to explore related technologies, focusing on the relationship between concept and production.

“The works in the show represent a diversity of approach to image making,” Ramer says. “Within the works presented in this exhibition, one finds clarity in abstraction, contemplations on the real and the imagined, political proposals, personal reflections, discovery in times past and potential visions of newly imagined futures. Most importantly, what we find in this exhibition are nine incredibly talented young artists who have found their voices.”
