April 5-27 at CADVC, the Center for Art, Design, and Visual Culture

Opening Reception: April 4, 5-7pm

The UMBC IMDA (Intermedia and Digital Arts) Masters Program presents “Not Grounded,” the 2024 IMDA MFA Thesis Exhibition.

Opening with a public reception on April 4, 5-7pm, the thesis exhibition features four artists with diverse artistic practices and approaches:

Elly Kalantari delves into the intricate realms of selfhood and transformation, crafting mixed-media sculptures and installations, reimagining forms and gestures that provocatively challenges perception and identity.

Andrew Liang presents “Home New World,” a self-portrait that delves into the transitional space of his 13-year-old self, having recently arrived in a new country.

Kristin Putchinski explores concepts of tension, transformation and release through a series of actions, performances and sculptures that utilize pianos as the primary object.

A. M. Zellhofer, a Baltimore-based printmaker and digital poet, investigates the experiential growth — both visible and invisible— that makes up the “dendrochronology of self.”

The exhibition will be the context for the artists’ thesis defenses, as well as the annual “RTKL Lecture,” a fellowship lecture made possible through the generosity of RTKL (Rogers Taliaferro, Kostritsky, & Lamb) Associates Incorporated. The goal of this merit-based award is to support an emerging artist of creative and scholarly excellence who has demonstrated a promise to make an impact on the field. This year’s recipient is Elly Kalantari.
