The University Art Gallery is delighted to present its annual exhibition of work by the graduating Masters of Fine Art students from the Department of Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego. The work of these eighteen emerging artists ranges from interactive media, sculpture, film/video, photography to installation and reflects the culmination of their time spent at UCSD.

Adriene Jenik, MFA graduate program faculty advisor said:

“As a whole, the work of our recent Masters in Fine Art graduates reflects the impulses, obsessions and networks of exchange at play in contemporary art today. The work also reflects the overarching commitment within the Visual Arts Department to fostering art making and art discourse in a truly inter-media environment. At University of California San Diego, it is understood that art emerges from an often messy tangle of ideas, material engagement, intellectual research, and conversation.”

Every Saturday (7, 14, 21, 28 June and 5 July) at 2pm artists exhibiting in the show will lead guided tours through the gallery, providing a unique opportunity to further understand the work exhibited as well as provide insight into the unique experience of being a post-graduate student at UCSD. Please RSVP to uag@ucsd.edu if you would like to attend one of these talks, as space is limited.

The University Art Gallery is open Tuesday -Saturday, 11am -5pm.
