Excerpt from MICA’s coverage of the (e)merge Art Fair:
Bully Pulpit acknowledges artists as important voices of our time and highlights a selection of its graduate alumni artists–including Sean Bennett ’12 (Mount Royal School of Art), faculty member Mina Cheon, Ph.D., ’99, Jennifer Coster ’12 (Rinehart School of Sculpture),Neil C. Jones ’10 (Photographic & Electronic Media), trustee Michel Modell ’06 ’10 (Post Baccalaureate, Hoffberger School of Painting), Adam Void ’12 (Mount Royal School of Art) and Erin Zerbe ’11 (Photographic and Electronic Media). Each of these artist’s works take on many of today’s most pressing current issues.
“In a world of 15 minute news cycles and pithy sound bites, art is not only relevant, but an imperative voice in the consideration of today’s complex and vital concerns. Art’s relevance comes from its willingness to invite questions and engage in dialogue. It doesn’t demand party loyalty or simplify complex issues. Spanning topics including the economy, environment, international relations, women’s rights, health and civility, these works and their makers from MICA’s graduate programs don’t shy away from our most crucial conversations.”
-Kimberly Graham, MICA Faculty and (e)merge Curator
