Annual GSA Gallery Exhibition
Featured IMDA and Human Centered Computing Student Artists
Thursday, October 24, 2013 · 5:30 - 7:30 PM
You are invited to the opening reception of the show Chimaera Obscura as part of the GSA Gallery.
The Graduate Student Association of UMBC is pleased to present a group exhibition of two-dimensional prints by the students of the Imaging and Digital Arts and Human Centered Computing Departments. Entitled Chimaera Obscura, the exhibition amalgamates varied practices of the student artists; included are digital images encompassing documentary and dreamlike lens-based photography, collage, vector illustration, visualized datasets, and idiosyncratic schematics. Chimaera Obscura is a word play combining the mythological creature with Camera Obscura, a predecessor to photography, suggesting that these disparate practices can create an unlikely hybrid that is connected with the concern of finding and creating meaning through images. This exquisite corpse presentation is rendered as a totemic image on our invitations; the visage constructed combines the portraits of all seven student artists and instructor Steven Bradley, composited to from one "individual" that is reflective of the collaborative efforts of the class and exhibition.
** Parking is available after 3:30 p.m. on Weekdays in LOT 2 (behind the Physics building) for a 50 cent fee, quarters only.
