Murmullos, Spanish for murmurs or whispers, is Conor Elliott Fitzgerald's ongoing exploration into legacies of violence in Central America. His current iteration of the project consists of audio and video projection investigating U.S. involvement in El Salvador’s civil war during the 1970’s and 80’s. Fitzgerald is pairing audio tracks of him reading declassified government documents aloud with videos of the Salvadoran jungle at night. Recorded this past summer in areas of El Salvador that saw great suffering during the war, the videos are poorly lit and contain a dearth of visual information. Viewers’ only opportunity to fully make out the contents of the images is fleeting bursts of light, revealing dense foliage.

Born in New Mexico, 1980, Conor Elliott Fitzgerald currently resides in Tucson, where he is pursuing an MFA at the University of Arizona. His photography and video practice began while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Central America. Making images started out as a way to document his experience as a health educator, but steadily evolved into a tool for processing the situations and issues he was confronted with. Fitzgerald’s experience in Central America continues to shape his research interests and inspire his image making. ... See MoreSee Less

We want trouble, and in the process, our task is to become capable of response.

The word ‘trouble’ derives from an Old French word meaning “to stir up, make cloudy, or to disturb.” Artists are often bound in such murky activity. Seeking and grasping for meaning, artists rarely provide answers, and more often are implicit in fermenting more questions. Graduate students are no exception, and in a demanding visual art program are continually agitated.

On Thursday, September 21, see inside the workings of the Graduate Visual Research Laboratory. On display a vast array of artworks that include photography, painting, sculpture, printmaking, installation and video from individuals across the world – with many of the artists in attendance and available to discuss their artistic practice. ...

Symbiosis, an exhibition featuring works by Ashley Dahlke and Anna Maranise, is an investigation of perception and memory through materials and forms using abstract sculpture and painting. The show focuses on experiences with the tactile and associations we have with forms and materials. The works address ideas surrounding the familiar, and challenging perceptions of what is commonly known and understood. They investigate perception from both an internal, psychological perspective, as well as an external and societal point of view.

Ashley Dahlke grew up in northern Illinois and received her Bachelor of Fine arts in painting and drawing from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 2015. She is currently attending the University of Arizona to pursue her MFA in 2D.

Anna Maranise was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee.
