Our next exhibition at the MSU Union Art Gallery, Grand River, a solo exhibition featuring the work of Jeffery Evergreen. Evergreen recieved his MFA in Print Media from Cranbrook in 2014 and BFA from Michigan State University in 2004 with a concentration in Painting & Sculpture.
The circulation, remediation, and recombination of images is the current focus of Evergreen’s arts practice. He uses a combination of digital and print processes to deconstruct contemporary images and draw attention to the materials and processes used and invite viewers to reconsider their personal relationship with images, technology, and mass media. But rather than offering some ideologically over-simplified answer, he prefers that larger questions about meaning and cultural value persist, coming to the fore to initiate conversations in which a more broad and balanced understanding may be achieved.

The ceramics, paintings, and drawing installations of Peruvian artist Kukuli Velarde are inspired by pre-Colombian figures and reveal folk tradition, evoke histories of ornament and craft, and disrupt aesthetic hierarchies. Velarde’s work references the struggles of indigenous populations as a result of European colonization. Velarde has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Pollock Krasner Grant.

Blind and sighted guests are invited to enjoy “Sense of Self”, an accessible art event. Enjoy this interactive exhibition that brings together literature and art students and features tangible art work inspired by literary works that focus on multi-sensory experiences. All guests are encouraged to use their hands and eyes to experience the art!
