School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents Liminal Forms, an exhibition of work by seven MFA Art Practice thesis candidates: Alison Pasquini, C Fodoreanu, Heather Link-Bergman, Janine Brown, Laura Valentina Cifuentes Almanza, Maria Dolores Gregori, and Maya Ballen. The exhibition will be held at the Invisible Dog Art Center, 51 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY. An opening reception with artists in attendance will be held on Wednesday, July 12 from 7- 9 pm. Light refreshments will be served.
Each rite of passage is marked by the transition between who one was, and who they will become. The seven artists in Liminal Forms each created work that explores or dwells in the in-between. Born of self-reflection and research, each presentation in the MFA thesis exhibition reveals the path of each artist’ own becoming. Liminal Forms displays the variety of the interdisciplinary master's program, including sculpture, painting, collage, digital art, installation, photography, and performance. Each artist presents a body of work that accumulates at least a year of investigation into a topic that is integral to their practice and worldview.

About MFA Art Practice: MFA Art Practice at the School of Visual Arts is a low-residency, interdisciplinary MFA program. A carefully selected, small group of candidates comes together at SVA’s New York City campus for three successive, intensive summer residency periods where they have the opportunity to work closely with established artists, writers, critics, and curators. Artists in the program engage in research-based practices, and are encouraged to converse and collaborate across subject matters using a combination of traditional and non-traditional media, technologies and techniques. The program aims to create a global community of artists and cultural producers who look beyond a consensus-driven approach to how we define what’s important in contemporary art.
Artist:
Alison Pasquini generates surreal still lifes to explore our material relationship with the modern environment and question dualisms like artificiality and natural forces.
C Fodoreanu explores the human body as a metaphor for how humans relate to each other and the surrounding nature, play, faith, love, intimacy, and the fragility of life, presenting ‘Cor Fabrica’, a ten-foot-tall stainless steel sculpture, the first of a series of four to come.
Heather Link-Bergman delves into the spiritually-ambiguous qualities of light and the mutability of belief in her layered and ethereal photographs, collages, and prints.
Janine Brown explores the 1950s housewife stereotype through the lens of Domestic Science (aka Home Economics) using tools of the kitchen, sewing, and personal finances to create objects referencing the continued confinement and unpaid labor in the domestic space.
Laura Valentina Cifuentes Almanza utilizes twerk as a feminist tool and a multidisciplinary approach with diverse materials to create performance work that challenges societal norms and explores critical issues of social justice and political change.
Maria Dolores Gregori observes objects and their emotions within the home space documented on iPhone photography, gestural paintings and drawings that dwell in the in-between of daydream and reality.
Maya Ballen dives into her experience as a new mother exploring her new identity as she documents her body´s transit through postpartum while questioning standard representations of motherhood.
