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, and its demise. Together, these works embrace porousness across spatial boundaries to build expansive and hypertextual frameworks of processing and navigating bodily movements through and beyond this temporality. As Yeast brings each senior’s work into a unified space for the first time.
This exhibition is made possible by funding from the Rice Visual and Dramatic Arts Department, The Student Activities President’s Programming Fund, and Guayaki Yerba Mate.
