A One-Night Exhibition

These nine artists came together to critically engage with the idea of constraints as an impetus for creativity. During their undergraduate education they have been urged to ‘go deeper,’ ‘tone it down,’ and ‘make it really big, or make a lot of them.’ Throughout this exhibition the artists respond—sometimes obediently and sometimes with a smirk—to the suggestions that have been formally and informally offered by professors and peers. Their visual replies range from seriously re-worked pieces to completely new, tongue-in-cheek actions. In According to: this open acknowledgement of criticism relates both directly to the art school experience and to the broader and ever-present external constrictions that must be balanced with pressing internal ones.

Artists include Marisa Adesman, Mara Cruvant, Becky Daniel, Raina Koller, Michael Osheroff, Annie Sayers, Zach Swanson, Sarah Theis, and Kristie Wickwire. Curated by Laura Elizabeth Barone.
