You are invited to Triple Point, a group exhibit featuring the Design Media Arts MFA 27 Cohort. "Triple Point is where a substance’s solid, liquid, and gas phases all coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. All possibilities exist at once and movement in any direction is met with transformation: life, substance, pixel, plastic, request, creature, roleplay, sabotage, reality, frequency, simulation, death." -Opening Night: Thurs October 15, 5PM–8PM -Performances Begin: 5:30PM -Exhibit Run: October 15–22 -Location: New Wight Gallery, Broad Art Center: 240 Charles E Young Drive North Los Angeles, CA 90095-1456 -Free and open to the public -Website https://projects.dma.ucla.edu/exhibitions/triplepoint/ Thank you to @decreation_studio for the poster design! by @str0nkyk0ng

LAYERS UPON LAYERS: A Mid Residency Exhibition by Aidan Strong An eroded item loses its singularity. It leaves a collection of loose fragments and particulates, with each piece only holding partial memories of its beginning. What do we see in the collections of these particles? Disjointed fragments connected together, glued and molded to serve a new purpose. Buildings defined by the sum of things that have forgotten their own names. Nevertheless, these new buildings will eventually erode away themselves, creating fodder for the next ones. This is how time progresses. Strata lines formed from memory, unfaltering spires built on the ruins of the last. OPENING RECEPTION: February 10, 2026 5:30PM–8:30PM Broad Art Center, EDA (Room 1250) 240 Charles E. Young Dr Los Angeles Visitor Parking available in Parking Structures 3 and 5. GALLERY HOURS: February 11-12 11AM-5PM Additional hours available via appointment (aidanstrong@ucla.edu) by @str0nkyk0ng
