Kline Featured in Hyperallergic
Kimia Ferdowsi Kline (BFA08) was interviewed in Hyperallergic about her solo show, Mother Tongue, on view through June 26 at San Francisco’s Marrow Gallery. “I was thinking about how a mother’s tongue has the potential to be a weapon,” says Kline. “I think we all have memories of something our mother said, maybe offhandedly, that has stayed with us our entire lives, and we’ve built an entire neurosis around.”
Paper Publishes Article on Dugan's Exhibition
Paper magazine published a feature story on To Survive on this Shore, an exhibition by artist Jess T. Dugan, the 2020-21 Henry L. and Natalie E. Freund Teaching Fellow, and Vanessa Fabbre, an assistant professor in Arts & Sciences. The work is meant to tackle the “idea of invisibility versus visibility,” says Dugan, through “representations of many different ways of living and aging as a trans person.” The exhibition is on view through 2021 at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, New York.
