Talk: Daniel Gordon
Daniel Gordon's trompe l'oeil conceptual works allude to a wide range of art historical influences, from Dutch still lifes and Cubism to assemblage and collage traditions, but each one begins with an internet image search. Gordon cuts, tears, and assembles printed images into three-dimensional objects. The final photographs appear computer generated or digitally manipulated, but Gordon combats this association by showing his hand and allowing imperfections to permeate each work-an iconoclastic approach in a world often obsessed with photoshopping out every perceived flaw.

2014 Graduate Thesis Screening
Christine Banna, Nicholas Bunch, Cynthia Burton, Chelsea Coon, Suje Garcia, Lydia A. Harris, Yeol Jung, Robin McNulty, Rebecca Williams, Toshiki Yashiko, Chun-Feng Yu, Esther Zabronsky, Mengxi Zhang
The 2014 Graduate Thesis Screening features a tremendous breadth of work from animation and performance art to experimental narrative film by 13 graduating Master of Fine Arts students. Some students use video as documentation for past events while others are concerned with the materiality of film and the apparatus, but all artists screening at this event have chosen to enter the sphere of movement and duration in their work.
