SUMMARY:Wilber Blair: A Peek Inside the Coloring Book
DESCRIPTION:Reception Wednesday\, February 26\, 4–6pm.\nPublic is welcome. \nBlair’s saturated and atmospheric paintings reflect constant change\, transformation\, and metamorphoses of nature and imagined two-dimensional worlds. Through spatial illusion and surface\, representation and abstraction\, and the material and the immaterial\, Blair’s paintings are an accumulation of formal decisions used to express the complexity and mystery of sight\, memory\, and dreams. \nWilber Blair was a member of Montserrat’s adjunct painting faculty from 2003 to 2023. He taught classes in painting and drawing as well as Foundation courses such as Life Drawing\, Painting I\, and Painting Workshop.

SUMMARY:Between the Lines: Graphic Design Senior Thesis
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Wednesday\, May 7\, 5–7pm \nBetween The Lines is an exhibition showcasing the work of seven graphic designers and their explorations\, pushing the boundaries of their creative practice. Emphasizing the stories\, processes\, and ideas that emerge in the subtle spaces between concept and execution. \nProject Statements:\nInherited Legacy \n\nJorielle Arlock  \nInherited Legacy explores long term and short term impacts of collective consumption and culture. Through the exploration of commonly wasted ephemera\, I embodied the narrative of what represents us and what we value as society. I collected remnants of consumer culture and started to curate a collection of metaphors about how that impacts us as people. Eventually\, I came to the idea that you can unearth your own legacy based on what you value\, and not what has been impressed upon you. \nUnder Construction \nMikayla Bogus \nUnder Construction is an amalgamation of bits and bobs of early web design. It is inspired by a time before the web was so overly corporate\, when people would create their own sites compiling their interests with an abundance of gifs\, images\, comic sans\, and blinking buttons. It takes a look into the spaces between content as well\, such as error pages\, fun uses of html\, and the forever unfinished webpages archived from sites such as Geocities. \nInside the Mind\nLyllian Caporuscio  \nFocusing on the psychology behind design\, and how that influences the work. I looked at common everyday objects and how I could use them in my work. That is when I focused on the spoon\, and how I had perceived it. Finding meaning\, I have categorized how spoons in literature and pop culture exist\, for means of nourishment\, as a metaphor for privilege\, and a tool for measurement. Looking at nourishment\, I searched for what that means\, and how it ultimately relates to the spoon. \nIntuitivity within Design\nJillian De Paolo \nExperiments with concrete poetry and free association tests led me to explore language. Hard definitions and etymologies are the rational and objective application of language. I am interested in intuitively interpreting words\, symbols\, and phrases with multiple meanings. Through tests and surveys\, I found the idiosyncrasy within the results posed that particular vernacular or personal bias can have an extraordinary impact on how we view the world and communicate. The vast antinomy within our ideas\, languages\, systems\, and intuitions reflect the semantics of our language. To prove our intuition’s validity\, I use empirical data to visualize infographics to show that anything can seem plausible with the right design. \nDanger in Beauty\nBrandon Hale-Montminy \nLately I’ve had an interest in the lengths people go for beauty and how beauty seems to be one of the most important things to a lot of people. That’s crazy to me so I tried to find a way to describe the absurdity of that in a way I can relate to. This landed me on the topic of poisonous flowers seeing as flowers are most known and sought after for their beauty but at the same time they can be an extreme danger for the owner and/or their pets and children. I find that this danger makes these flowers even more beautiful and this danger is why I’m drawn to them. I’m well aware this makes no sense but many people are like this regarding other things so I’m here to show the beauty without ever letting people forget about the danger. \nMake AI Your Bytch\nDylan Maher \nMake AI Your Bytch confronts the possibility of AI-generated design taking over the world. Common signage is used as a reference for visual solutions that are nonsensical when placed in the real-world. The goal is to demonstrate why designers shouldn’t rely on algorithms to communicate an intended message. The project is not concerned with changing minds regarding the ethics of AI. The reality is that the technology isn’t going away anytime soon; which means it’s up to the next generation of creatives to learn how to use it responsibly. \nEscapism\nMarina Stagliola \nMy project focuses on escapism and how I use the act of decorating cookies to serve as my therapeutic process. It creates a state of mind that makes it possible for me to forget about the outside world. My attention is set on the task\, while awareness of my surroundings fades in and out of focus. Throughout this process I use royal icing as both a medium and a muse to relax and relieve stress. \n\n
