A Map Illegible from Above: Bonnie Fan

The great-great-great grandchildren of fields and rows, data speaks in the crisp language of surveillance. Arriving here, the path you took here was cursed with its voice. Arriving here, how do we seek vehicles of understanding, tools, and desires for connection, accountability and not control?

Join us for thump, whoosh, rumble an exhibition featuring new work from the CMU School of Art MFA class of 2023. The exhibition spans three floors and presents all new work in wide-ranging media.

The MFA program at CMU’s School of Art is an interdisciplinary, experimental, research-based program that challenges artists to recognize social context and civic engagement as paramount within contemporary art. Students are encouraged to employ a comparative and intersectional approach to critical and cultural theories, allowing this inquiry to inform and expand what it means to be an artist and to make art within our contemporary condition.

This exhibition features contemporary art with adult content including language, imagery of guns and horror, nudity, and loud sounds.
