About the Exhibition

As Yeast: Bodies in Space presents new work from the 2021-22 cohort of Visual and Dramatic Art seniors on the Studio Art track. This multimedia collection of paintings, drawings, photography, and prints draws from 14 distinct practices to collectively challenge and complicate what it means to occupy and define bodyhood – its corporeality, its aging, its fluidity, its imminence, its demise. Together, these works embrace a sense of porousness across spatial boundaries in an attempt to build expansive and hypertextual frameworks of processing and navigating bodily movements through and beyond this temporality.

This exhibition features works from Christine Gjoerup, Catherine Hettler, Sumin Hwang, Rachel Kim, Abigail King, Alissa Kono, Meghana Nadella, Nini Nguyen, Alfonso Pelaez Rovalo, Kinsale Reilly, Anastasia Romanova, Laura Semro, Blaise Willis, and Maggie Yuan. As Yeast brings each senior’s work into a unified space for the first time.
