Visit T ITL E TB D in Reinberger Gallery

Title TbD
Reinberger Gallery's spring exhibition will open Thursday, March 26, with a public reception from 6 to 8pm. Please join us! The show runs through June 12.
Curated by Meghana Karnik, T ITL E TB D interrogates myths of being an artist and the disconnection between student and artist life. The post-grad moment is the apex of an artist’s academic achievement—a taste of pride combined with a sense of groundlessness. What’s supposed to happen next? Rather than let student-artists succumb to free fall, T ITL E TB D relays stories where failure is freedom and where unfinished, cyclical, collective ways of working become contexts for care of oneself, community, and lifelong artistic practice.
