Thankfully, A Clever Snare
The Tyler School of Art and Architecture presented Thankfully, A Clever Snare, an exhibition featuring selected works from the class of 2022 MFA graduates at Atelier Art Gallery, April 30 - May 22, 2022.
The featured artists explored a wide range of aesthetic and conceptual concerns, but many of the works engaged a sense of entanglement or capture––the feeling of being caught between many worlds. It is from this place, however, that new, endless strategies emerged: a knot became a pivot, a launchpad, a vector.
For full details on the participating artists, please download our exhibition PDF.
