The works of Francisco-Fernando Granados, Matt Macintosh and Faye Mullen intersect in an investigation of absence, silence and emptiness. Through mediated experiences of performance, video, sculpture and photography, these three MVS graduating students explore the limits of representation through an individual and collective meditation of states of knowing and unknowing.<\/p>\n

Francisco-Fernando Granados<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to address the absence of recognition? Apostrophe comes from the Greek ap\u00f3strophos, meaning eliding, or turning away. As a rhetorical device, the apostrophe marks the moment when a speaker turns away from the audience as a means to address an absent character on the scene. They sometimes begin with an \u2018O,\u2019 like in one case in Shakespeare\u2019s Romeo and Juliet: \u201cO, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt Macintosh<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matt Macintosh’s work looks at reificatory tendencies in subject\u2013object relations by separating subjects from objects. In two suites of images derived from archived photographs, female lab technicians producing penicillin during World War II assume strangely liturgical poses when the technologies they use are digitally removed, effectively reincarnated as devotional objects.<\/p>\n

Faye Mullen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Faye Mullen employs the body to speculate on theories concerning loss, lack and limitation. Her work is informed by the deceitfulness of representing what is\u00a0unattainable, unavailable, and unrepresentable.\u00a0In failure, Faye’s practice is concerned with\u00a0the threshold of existence. Her works are\u00a0not attempts to represent but are simply articulations of the threshold. Through video, installation and performance, Faye poses the\u00a0figure, the ground, the folds\u00a0in hopes not to sentence what cannot be made visual but to come a small step\u00a0closer to knowing that threshold.<\/p>\n
