Due to the COVID-19 closures, we were unable to celebrate the wonderful artworks of our Spring 2020 MFA candidates, Austin Cathey, Ashley Carroll, and Chad Eggar. Over the past two – three years, these artists have explored, persevered and produced artworks that inspire and question culture, emotion and attitudes. With this exhibition, we welcome their artworks (and hopefully the artists) back to the Department of Art and Hiestand Galleries, and applaud their accomplishments.

AUG 17–SEP 15 REVERBERATIONS: CECILIA VÁZQUEZ

In the exhibition, Reverberations, Cecilia Vázquez includes artworks that span across the last several years. Though generated from sensations of still life and landscape, as her pieces evolve she develops compositions that bind contradictory elements together into continuous images. Representations and inventions collide for the works to provoke discoveries and unexpected connections, while articulating personal metaphoric constructions particular to Vázquez’s practice of painting as a language.

SEP 25–OCT 22 OPERAS OF PIRANESI: FROM THE BRIAN ANDREWS COLLECTION

These etchings are the result of a 25-year journey by Cincinnati Collector, Brian Andrews. The prints represent seventeen different Operas by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, including Prima Parte Di Architetture e Prospettive, Carceri, Le Antichita Romane I, II, III, IV, IL, Campo Marizio Dell’ Antica Roma, Trofeo O Sia Magnifica Colonna Coclide and Vedute Di Roma. The exhibition exemplifies a crosssection of Piranesi’s genius as an artist, inventor and observer. The etchings were collected from many different places including Venice, Rome, New Orleans and Tokyo. Williams states: “The collection began on a spring day in Williamsburg, Virginia. That day, I purchased, Architectural Details From the Temple of Fortuna Virilis. At that moment, I would never have guessed that the collection would ultimately grow to the more than forty prints that it now comprises. I sincerely hope that those who visit the exhibit, enjoy the etchings as much as I did collecting them.” OCT 30–NOV 20 LIZ MAUGANS | LEFTOVER CASSEROLE Casseroles are hearty, stick-to-yourbones meals. Artist Liz Maugans takes casseroles to people who are in need of comfort. Maugans states: I feed my family Aspen Chicken Casserole or Turkey Tetrazzini that is made with the rice, pasta and beans from my pantry. These one-dish meals pride themselves on both frugality and the desire to not waste food. Leftovers combined from a post-Thanksgiving celebration or the overstock from the garden tomatoes from a previous summer are hidden deep inside the roots of these covered dishes. Our world needs a huge ass casserole right now. My studio practice is a big kitchen. I use what I have, particularly during the quarantine, to make these mixed media print collages. These works are made from my stockpile, my dumping grounds, mixed thoroughly with the world’s unprecedented moment of change. I make very small steps, but they’re part of trying to shift my focus to process and action, rather than worry. I’m sharing these dishes with you. Bring a fork.. [Lizmaugansart.com]
