First Impressions

Blue and white abstract image
Tuesday, February 4, 2014 - 5:00am to Monday, February 24, 2014 - 5:00am

An exhibition of works by faculty and students in the First Year Art & Design programs

First Impressions is an exhibition that celebrates the work of faculty and students in the First Year Art & Design programs and attempts to find linkages between faculty’s professional practice and their teaching.

First Impressions reflects the importance that First Year faculty places on students to uncover their own talents and identities. Whatever the lessons learned, in all mediums, students are asked to arm themselves with tools, ideas and interests that fuel their future careers as artists and designers.

All are welcome!

Advancing medical technology, from the stethoscope, to the x-ray, PET, and MRI, have introduced dramatic new ways of imaging, controlling, intervening in, and remaking bodies. These technologies have participated in a complete reshaping of the notion of the body in the cultural imaginary, and have transformed our experience of actual human bodies.
