Half & Half: Part One

The Creative Research Laboratory (CRL) introduces a summer adventure starring: a coked-up vacuum cleaner, a severed beached whale, a bevy of romance novels, and the surging waters of Niagara Falls. It’s Half & Half, the love child of the artists and art historians of the Department of Art and Art History. The artwork from fifteen graduate students is split into two exhibitions curated by art and art history graduates. Each exhibition runs for two weeks, with the first opening on July 25th, and the second opening on Aug 15th.

This set of exhibitions marks the eighth consecutive year of collaboration within the Department of Art and Art History graduate students on a summer exhibition at the CRL. This select group of works represents a wide range of media including painting, sculpture, large-scale works on paper, and video.

Featured artists include Kate Abercrombie, Sonya Berg, Sam Dahl, Scott Eastwood, Santiago Forero, Robert Melton, Marya Spont, and Jeff Stanley.
Curated by Kara Carmack, Ariel Evans, Bonnie Gammill, and Lauren Hanson.
Opening reception on July 25th will feature a live interactive performance by guest artist, Jennifer Remenchik.
