3rd Annual MASTER PIECES An Exhibit of Works by New Masters curated by Jason Franz What is mastery? Where do master pieces come from? What do we do in society to promote such high achievement, the production of singularly qualified works of skill, imagination, intellect, craftsmanship, and commitment? With the annual Master Pieces project Manifest invited graduate students, and those having attained the degree of Master within the past year, to submit works for consideration in the exhibit, in order to share this realm of academic pursuit, and these artists' efforts to attain a terminal degree in the practice of visual art. Manifest's goal has been to select works that in the truest sense of the word are contemporary masterpieces - works that set the standard of quality that the artist is expected to maintain throughout his or her professional career. The exhibit catalog for this show will serve as a visual documentation of these artists' own benchmarks for years to come. With Master Pieces Manifest takes a stand for the importance of what these artists are doing, the system by which they are trained and proclaimed 'master', and for the objects they have made to establish their place and role in the world. Featuring works by: Meredith Adamisin (Miami University, MFA 2009) John Carrasco, III (University of Nebraska-Lincoln, MFA 2009) Kyle Chaput (Texas A&M; University-Corpus Christi, MFA Candidate) Hima Chennamaraju (University of Indianapolis, MFA Candidate) Benjamin Clore (Michigan State University, MFA Candidate) Rachel Heberling (Ohio State University, MFA Candidate) Robert Hernandez (School of the Museum of Fine Arts-Boston, MFA Candidate) Josh Johnson (University of Nebraska-Lincoln, MFA Candidate) Sonia Lea (Indiana University, MFA 2009) Robert Minervini (San Francisco Art Institute, MFA 2009) Travis Shaffer (University of Kentucky, MFA Candidate) Japheth Storlie (Louisiana State University, MFA 2009) Kimberly Strom (Northern Illinois University, MFA 2009) To review the previous two Master Pieces exhibits, view the catalogs online here: 2007: http://manifestgallery.org/manifestpress/Manifest21.sample.pdf 2008: http://manifestgallery.org/manifestpress/Manifest29.sample.pdf |
