Where the Sidewalk Ends, Spring 2023 BFA Exit Show celebrates graduating students

Where the Sidewalk Ends, BFA Exit Show 2023 Poster
Log in to post comments

Ushering in graduation season, the Lamar Dodd School of Art proudly presents Where the Sidewalk Ends, BFA Exit Show 2023 in the Dodd Galleries, an exhibition organized by and featuring the work of 42 graduating BFA students. This exhibition marks a milestone for studio art undergraduates completing their studies at the Dodd.

To accommodate the volume of art on display, the exhibition is split into two rounds. The first group's opening reception will be held on Friday, April 7th from 6 to 8 pm and will be on view through April 14th. The second group’s opening reception will be held on Friday, April 21st from 6 to 8 pm and will be on view through April 28th. Where The Sidewalk Ends is free to attend and features an array of work, including ceramics, painting, metalwork, photography, and more. 

Wakefield Ausband

Wakefield Ausband, No. 1 from the series 7pm Georges Passage, 2023

 

In this exhibition, the student artists will be showcasing disparate ideas across a variety of practices and media. Artists featured in the show include Wakefield Ausband, whose paintings blend elements of landscape and architectural forms into dynamic, expressive explorations of abstraction. Painter TM Pruitt presents a series of table paintings formed through the collage of personal memory and experience. Jeweler Sarah Bird takes inspiration from childhood games she played and diaries she kept, abstracting traumatic experiences from childhood into wearable jewelry. 

The exhibition title Where The Sidewalk Ends is a reference to Shel Silverstein's poem of the same name. Catie Cook, an exhibiting artist, commented on the resonance of the show's title, “there couldn’t be a more perfect metaphor for the period of transition from college to real life. This exit show is the culmination of our work at The Lamar Dodd and, in many ways, the end of an era. I think we can all, on some level, relate to the sentiments Silverstein put forward in his poem.”

Sarah Bird

Sarah Baird, Read Me, 2023

 

Read a brief excerpt below —

“Yes, we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,

And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,

For the children, they mark, and the children, they know

The place where the sidewalk ends.”

What lies ahead is unknown, full of excitement and possibility. As their sidewalk ends, graduating students are mourning a closing chapter in their arts education while embracing an open future inviting many possibilities in the arts.

Instructor Jaime Bull, who is curating the exhibition and has guided this cohort of students in the spring capstone exit course, remarked, “What an exciting semester — team-teaching with fellow instructor Maria Artemis, working with this group of inspiring artists who are engaged in conversations ranging from the climate crisis to dreams and nightmares to identity to exploring personal relationships and so much more. These two rounds of exhibitions, featuring exceptionally talented artists, are going to be stellar and should not be missed.”
