The exhibition by Maya Lawrence and Maggie Jones will be on view from September 13 - October 8 in the Pinkard Gallery (Bunting). Exhibition Statement: The pieces speak in an unfiltered visual language that delights in expressions and patterns, unconcerned with distinguishing beauty and horror. This show expresses fondness for humble characters like that of the jester who steps (or dances) into the role of an enlightened observer, free from the desire to prove his righteousness. Jesters, children, and artists alike transcend the illusions of the ego by embracing their own inadequacies to be simply and unpretentiously human. This body of work acknowledges and counters the insecure root of self-performance, by offering an invitation to the viewers to suspend fear, and engage their curiosity without attachment to the solidness of their ego. This is a Student Space Gallery exhibition. For more information about the SSG program and how to apply for a solo-exhibition, please visit mica.edu/ssg.
