Description

The University of Minnesota Department of Art presents here 29, an online exhibition featuring twenty-nine artists that have recently earned their Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. here 29 reflects themes of thinking, feeling, and being through a variety of artistic approaches and mediums—animation, ceramics, drawing, mixed-media, painting, photography, sculpture and game design. As a culmination of their rigorous studies, each artist has produced a body of thought-provoking work that expresses their unique identity, passions and how they imagine themselves in the world. The exhibition reflects, conjures and challenges what it means to be here now.
 

About the Department of Art

We believe that art has the power to transform our understanding of the world. The artistic practice and research undertaken by our students and professors has a lasting impact on the individual, the community and the environment, and resonates on visceral, emotional and philosophical levels. We experiment, we take risks, we engage critically and collaboratively with one another. With our work, we help to provide crucial leadership and context to the ongoing, urgent societal conversations that are taking place at the university and beyond, about our roles and responsibilities to ourselves, to one another, and to the planet.
