"Attention and Community, pt 1: refuse protocol," collaborative talk and workshop led by Justin Ginsberg and Anna Riley, presented at the Robert M. Minkoff Academic Symposium, October 2019.

The Worth Ryder Art Gallery and the UC Berkeley Department of Art Practice are excited to present an exhibition of works by our six first-year graduate students - champoy, Fred M. DeWitt, Emily Gui, Biz Iqbal, Anna Riley, and Nadia Shihab.

The MFA program encourages experimentation with new methods, media, and modes of artmaking, and the artists have each built on their existing practices to create an exciting new body of work while immersing themselves in contemporary theory, seeking out new interdisciplinary influences, and responding to critical feedback by peers and mentors. The result is an exhibition that is fresh, vital, and immediate.

Please join us for an Opening Reception, including performances by the artists: 4 - 7pm, Wednesday, January 29th, 2020.
