Unfkd, as in, We persisted, we kept going, we worked with the limitations, the sadness, the isolation, and here we are, not with expectations dashed, but with our work, not necessarily responding to the restrictions of the last year but to the influences and concerns that were already leading us here to this point of articulation and expression. There is no “house style,” no particular way of making and seeing in the MFA Fine Arts and Photography programs at Pratt. Instead, there is a sometimes clashing, sometimes melding, polyphonous sense of hybridity and fluidity, a trust in form and a belief in ideas, exemplified in at least 29 ways in this collective show of an international group of artists presenting their honed, considered efforts after two years of trial and error, intense discussion, experimentation, and decisive thinking.
