"DEVIANT"

  • Opening reception: 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22

"DEVIANT" is a national juried exhibition that interrogates deviance as a concept, category, label and worldview.

Deviance subverts norms, undermines hegemony and reimagines traditions. The exhibition celebrates the deviant's powers of disruption, innovation, authenticity and individuality at the heart of image making practices in the 21st century. Fourteen artists tackle deviance as a subject, theme or prompt in a range of mediums that includes painting, drawing, collage and mixed media.

The exhibition features the work of Kathy Black, Jenny Carpenter, Kara Dunne, Ronald Gonzalez, Tina Isla, Vesna Jovanovic, Sara Kramer, Scott Lewis, Beau McCall, Arezoo Moseni, Kristin O’Connor, Jeff Stauder, Lisa Wilde and Stefanie Wills.

A group of advanced art history students and their professors in Salve's Department of Art and Art History curated the exhibition. Professors Ernest Jolicoeur and Anthony F. Mangieri led the curatorial team. The class is also hosting a public art history symposium titled "Deviance" on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 6 p.m.
