Congrats to Mariel Miranda for earning the 2021 Marcia Grand Centennial Sculpture Prize!

Mariel will be using the award to bring a dead bird back to life using a taxonomic spell and visual arts.

"My aim in this project is to create an allegorical device to speak about the small and the silent. For the last 12 years I have lived the embodied experience of the daily threat of a narco-state that operates with impunity in my home country Mexico. Before coming to Tucson, I wondered about all those years now of the pain of death that passes through all of us. But also, and above all, I wondered about the immeasurable beauty of the small and silent acts of courage and love that are applied as tactics against all that terror ---- acts that will never get to know."

Want to get involved??? Add a comment below with your favorite three birds in this post before Aug. 23 (first day of fall classes). Mariel will use your feedback to help chose which of these birds will come back to life!

We will share final project and installation site once Mariel is finished!

If you haven't already checked out the 2020 MFA Alumni Exhibition, you should! Today we're featuring Erin DiGiovanni's installation "Excuse the Mess"

See the full exhibition and artist statement at galleries.art.arizona.edu!

Excuse the Mess is an exhibition of works which replicate function, catalogue and display the commonplace, and combine domestic and recreational. The title is a familiar disclaimer offered to mitigate the potential embarrassment and unease when one enters the intimate dwelling of another, making way for the work itself to investigate and challenge the social and self-stigmatization of addiction and mental illness within domestic settings and American culture.

25% of American children grow up in households where substance abuse is present.1 Studies suggest that up to half of a person’s risk of becoming addicted to substances (nicotine, alcohol, and other drugs) depend on their genetic makeup. Along with hereditary disposition, a person’s environment and learned behaviors, values, habits, and communication styles can put one at risk of self-medicating tendencies as a means of coping with physical and emotional pain.

We are so incredibly happy to announce the 2020 MFA Alumni Thesis exhibition! During the last year of their coursework, graduates were poised to exhibit their thesis research when we were hit with campus closure because of the pandemic. As a result, these students missed out on one of the most intrinsic components of their academic studies, presenting a fully developed body of work to the public in the form of an exhibition. Slowly as the world begins to open we are able to host these artists and reflect on the work they completed in those last months of their degree pursuits. Please join us in celebrating our graduates in the 2020 MFA Alumni Exhibition! ... See MoreSee Less
