Conceal and Carry
April 2-14, 2018
Parsons School of Design and 25East Gallery presents Conceal and Carry, a MFA Fine Arts student exhibition curated by first year student Elyse Johnson.
Conceal and Carry represents a moment of reflection on the individual and cultural accumulation of contemporary national trauma. The exhibition investigates the ways in which sensationalism, tragedy, scale, and violence dictate and inform image making and cultural identity. The early twenty-first century has arrived in its own reckless and blurry sense of identity, one that is rooted in the terminal nature of imperialism and the ever-evolving rapport of terror and documentary.
