Andrea Coronil's MFA Thesis show

Sabes tanto que sabes a Casabe

We know so much, we know so little

Reception: Thursday March 7th, 5-9pm
Show dates: March 4-8th, 9-5pm

Location: Compton Goethals Gallery, The City College of New York CUNY

This show draws from uncertain certainties in life: sickness, death, and loss. These are experiences that we all live yet cannot plan or know how they will come.  The work includes paintings that act as projections when light is cast through them. Rooted in the idea of fighting illness and the struggle to survive, the boxers in the paintings refer to the celebratory yet combative daily dances we engage in to get well.

City Editions

Hi!

The semester has started and things are getting exciting at City College! Some students from our program are working on a great printmaking project with artist Nicola Lopez. The program, City Editions, was started by Megan Foster, a fabulous painter and printmaker who's been a master printer for lots of artists you've heard of, and this is the second year the program is editioning prints with a visiting artist.

It's really fun!

Here are some pictures.

PS The CCNY Studio Art MFA program deadline has been extended to Feb 15th because of magical glitches in the whole CUNY system, you should apply! It's totally awesome!
