The Department of Art invites you to the opening reception of the BFA Thesis Exhibition at Working Method Contemporary and Phyllis Straus Gallery in the Carnaghi Arts Building at 2214 Belle Vue Way. In Spite Of features art by 10 graduating BFA students who engage a variety of media to create work that is at once personal, provocative, and resonant. The use of media ranges from painting and drawing, to photography, book arts, and printmaking, to site-specific intervention, sculpture, ceramics, and installation. And the themes engaged through these students’ work are just as vast, and include the death of memory, the need for acceptance, comfort objects, childhood trauma, class disparity, the perception of time, repetition in cycles of thinking and behavior, and the untainted wonder of youth.
In Spite Of, as the exhibition’s title, engages the viewer to reflect on what centers these disparate bodies of work, which is an enduring determination – a resilience that derives from the students’ use of their art as a means to focus attention on the challenging subjects their work addresses.
In addition to exhibiting in the two galleries at the Carnaghi Arts Building, the students are installing an art fair booth in its Atrium Gallery, where their work will be available for purchase.

The Florida State University Department of Art is pleased to announce be/longing, an exhibition of works by Florida State University's 2023 MFA graduating class Jenae Christopher, AnnaBrooke Greene, Camille Modesto, nik rye, Chayse Sampy, and Chansong Woo. Hosted by the Museum of Fine Arts, the exhibition will focus on their shared considerations of being in the state of longing regarding the diaspora, community and home. Christopher, Greene, Modesto, rye, Sampy, and Woo share multimedia practices that provide forms of documentation of lived experiences, past and present. Through participatory performance, video projection, painting, and various multimedia projects, these artists explore the nuances of space, place, and personhood while considering both collective and personal memory. By enacting gestures that take into account the placement and shifting of perception, the artists put forward an expression and vision of hope. Based on their individual, personal experiences, they expand upon various modes of participation to create an intimate space for visitor engagement in order for new modes of encounters to occur all while envisioning an aspiration for tomorrow.
