Insect Politics

Insect Politics combines disparate vessels to conjure an interpretation of divinity that is both atmospheric and physical. Dodd MFA candidates Hayden Maltese and Alejandro Ramirez present reflective texts, musical instruments, ceramic objects, and a site-specific installation in an attempt to capture what is transitory and fleeting by nature. Visual investigations are thus fractured, utilizing ubiquitous imagery from pop culture and day-to-day life, whether pastoral, urban, or subconsciously present.

In-between

For this exhibition Amos V. Manlangit, Dodd PhD candidate in Art Education,  invited several artists to collaborate on a series of new paintings in order to explore how markings on two sides of a transparent panel can create uncertainty through the muddling of images. Dual personas, whether one artist alternating sides or two collaborators in a dialogue, generate a conversation between visual elements to negotiate on a unified aesthetic.
