Nick Brutto’s MFA exhibition, "Us", is on view at McMaster Gallery through April 22nd.

Nick Brutto is an MFA candidate in Studio Art specializing in Ceramics and Printmaking. Prior to being admitted into this program, he received his BA in History and MAT in Art Education from the University of South Carolina. During college he has worked and volunteered with a large number of programs in Columbia including 701 Center for Contemporary Art, ARC of Columbia, and Palmetto Center for the Arts. His work has been shown in galleries through out the state in both juried and invitational exhibitions.

“This body of work examines topics in relation to three shared attributes of human nature: the mind, body, and soul. The experiences accumulated through out life create an individual who’s mind, body, and soul are unique. Careful examination of my own perspective allows me to address these ever changing attributes in relation to concepts of connectivity, collaboration, and identity. Through the incorporation of collaborative pieces, this body of work also offers the viewer the opportunity to examine their own perspective and display it through participation. Encouraging the viewer to examine their own perspective as well as my own turns the conversation away from you and I towards Us.”

Lauren Kennedy's MFA exhibition, "Consequences of Our Actions: Fragility of the Body", is on view at McMaster Gallery through April 15th.

Lauren Kennedy creates sculptural work using folded paper books and coats them in plaster before utilizing performance art to crush them and tear them apart, unveiling words underneath that are her own personal ramblings about the struggles of pain and entropy.

"I have loved and been fascinated by the human body my entire life. In the end, however, it has betrayed me time and time again. I watched my mother go through cancer and her body fail her. I feel my own body fail because of previous injuries or conditions that I have. I struggle with the idea of the fact that our bodies that are meant to sustain and protect us inevitably fail us, and that failure is painful. Pain and entropy are part of the human experience, but why? That is what I explore using plaster, once used to heal bones, and making books. I demonstrate my frustration and questioning of the human experience through performance and tearing these books apart, hoping that I will come to terms with the ideas of pain and entropy."
