School of Visual Arts presents “Carnivalesque,” an exhibition of thesis projects by BFA Visual & Critical Studies students. Curated by deputy chair of MA Curatorial Practice, Jovana Stokic, the exhibition is on view January 17 through February 7 at the SVA Flatiron Gallery, 133/141 West 21st Street, New York City.

Participating artists include Taylor Baker, Harris Bauer, Nicholas Calhoun, Lilyann Chen, Jina Choi, Brittany Cota, Carmela D’Agostino, Joseph DeSena, Isabel Dahl, Ashley Elma, Jennette June, Aspen Kincaid, Jinhee Kwak, Monica Lo, Shawn McCarney, Carissa Melillo, Katrina Mitilenes, Lauren Orscheln, Lily Roche, Lisa Saeboe, Julia Santoli, Devon Watson, Rachel Zaretsky and Leila Zhanybekova

“This exhibition follows the enfolding of the new dialogical relations between ideas, practices, media and voices,” Stokic says. Live performances are scheduled to take place during the opening reception.

BFA Visual & Critical Studies is a multidisciplinary studio program designed to engage and challenge ambitious students in areas beyond a single medium of expression and creation. This dynamic course of study reflects our rapidly expanding visual culture and the increasing urgency to educate students about all aspects of visual experience. BFA Visual & Critical Studies students shape their own multidimensional art education through a guided combination of studio courses and academic offerings focusing on myriad forms and venues of contemporary visual life.
