Reception: Wednesday, March 11, 6-8pm
Location: Art Lofts Gallery, 111 N Frances St, Madison, WI
London Huser’s MFA Thesis exhibition I Should’ve Been A Cowboy is an exciting view into her world of the lowbrow, humor, and the unexpected fantasy of the Wild West. She always wished she could’ve been a cowboy, but she is an artist instead. Western ware is requested at the reception.
An Oklahoma native and indigenous Cherokee, London Huser is a contemporary artist whose practice explores aspects of human culture and information, in both narrative and dialog driven context. She is attracted to ideas of distilling, dissecting, examining, and archiving intrinsic data and biopower to discover what is the information of humanity. London explores materials such as blood, her body, and language in a way to exploit tensions between within the viewer. Ultimately, she asks greater questions of what do we chose to humanize versus what we chose to dehumanize or distance ourselves from and why.
The Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibitions season continues with London Huser’s exhibit I Should’ve Been A Cowboy. The MFA Thesis Exhibitions mark the culmination of a three-year degree program that emphasizes development of a rigorous studio art practice under the supervision of a faculty guidance committee. Exploring an interdisciplinary approach to art making, as well as coursework in art history and related fields, artists cultivate professional practices that facilitate a sustainable career in the arts.
