“Shifting Potential,” a group exhibition featuring School of Art MFA students, investigates a type of shift in perspective; whether through the body, systems of society, or one’s sense of reality. The potential itself is dependent on its own particular context and temporality. 

The show features Athena Apodaca, Bryce Pol, Clarissa Kear, Keelin Miller, Sheldon Patten, Melanie Montes, Fiona Doherty, Porter McDonald and Nova Nazari.

At its core, “shifting potential” describes the ability to expand one’s perspective. It involves transforming inner narratives and making a conscious transition from an ordinary, default state of being into one that is intentionally chosen and deeply desired.
