  "Secret Acts" - MFA Thesis Show

Fourth Wall Project, 132 Brookline Ave, Boston
Gallery hours: Wednesday–Friday, 1–6 pm; Sunday, 1–5 pm

"Secret Acts," features four artists who turn private acts into public narrative, examining reality/fiction, ritual/restitution and past/present. Daniel Embree appropriates gestures from Mormon rituals and examines gay issues within Mormonism, including marginalization, exclusion and paradox; Monica Lynn Manoski creates fragile armor made of sugar to recall and address her struggle with an eating disorder; Courtney McClellan transgresses the limits of imagination, text and three-dimensional space through the lens of Virginia Woolf; Ashley L. Wood (CU BFA, Art, 2011) explores "wrongness" through the repetition and deterioration of memory within the boundaries of the photograph.

 Artist talks + closing reception: March 29, 6–9 pm
