Bittersweet Bliss
2024 BA Senior Studio Exhibition
On view December 4–15, 2024 at Stamps Gallery.
We proudly present an exhibition that swirls through nine personal narratives of struggle, self-knowledge, and fantasy respectively. The imagined paired with the gut led to a collection of works that overload the senses, and indulge in a decadence of material and ornamentation. These works conjure memories of the hospital stay, the museum visit, the family gathering, and inexplicable bouts of nostalgia from a lineage that precedes us. We long, we dream, we ail, we labor, we try and fail to control, we are overwhelmed, and yet, we find bliss and comfort in the middle of it all. We know what we feel and we remember it. As our BA Seniors bid farewell to Stamps, we share this gift of our work, tied lovingly with a bow.
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) Senior Studio (ARTDES 401) is offered for Stamps BA students in their final year of study. The BA Senior Studio Exhibition offers these students the opportunity to build on the particular characteristics of the BA degree, and focus on creating and exhibiting a culminating, self-directed project. Students work independently or collaboratively to define a project plan with goals, benchmarks, and a timeline.
The BA Senior Studio Exhibition is a new tradition for Stamps, with the inaugural show taking place in Fall 2024. These students and instructors have worked collaboratively to produce a fully self-directed show from start to finish, emphasizing the skills and practices associated with producing professional exhibitions, in addition to their studio work.
