Unwillingly Mine

Dodd Graduate candidate in Painting and Drawing, Ellie Dent’s exhibition is a visual exploration of hypochondriac infatuations with illness as a means of confession, endurance, and remedy.  Her work references sites of bodily trauma; the relationship between expressing pain and eliminating pain.

Max

"Max", an exhibition by Dodd Post-MFA Fellow in Photography, Mo Costello, concerns the life of Maximileous Amores of East Providence. The exhibition includes photographs and live performance, featuring local gospel quartet, the Inspirational Heavenly Aires. 

Here, Say

Here, Say is a new sculptural installation by Dodd post-MFA fellow in sculpture, Courtney McClellan. The installation, comprised of made and found objects, recreates a courtroom. With absurdity and poetry, the judicial system and its players are recast. Witness, defendant, plaintiff, judge, and jury conflate seeing and speaking, hearing and being seen. In this space theories are performed, arguments are made. Located at an entrance of the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the work invites practice, play and judgment.

Paul Pfeiffer: Desiderata

Dodd Professorial Chair, Paul Pfeiffer, presents three major video works: Desiderata, Fragment of a Crucifixion, and Pure Products Go Crazy. Best known for digitally manipulated images of athletes and celebrities, Pfeiffer’s celebrated work in the mediums of installation, photography, and video typically uses extant imagery as an occasion to plumb the depths of contemporary culture, assessing its racial, religious, and technological dimensions.
