March 28 - April 20, 2025
(The Gallery will be closed on Friday, April 4th from 10am-5pm, and on April 8th from 3:30-5:00pm for academic events.)
The University of Chicago’s Department of Visual Arts and Logan Center Exhibitions present the 2025 BA Thesis Exhibition ALL WALLS FALL featuring works by Urunna Anyanwu, Thomas Chang, Hillary Josephine Cheung, Kal Haile, Noah Lawson, Stephen Nichol, Yoojin Ok, Jake Quinlan, Cristina Rojas-Moises, Ying Ruan, Lade Tinubu, and Lingfei Wei.
ALL WALLS FALL presents twelve artists whose works unearth, distort, and reanimate fragmented worlds—the internal crawling out, the buzzing of creation exposed to the light. Volatile and playful. Using only what can be built, salvaged, or repurposed, each piece reveals the hidden systems of making, the cycle of deteriorating life consumed again and again to be reborn. Walls crack, wires buzz, wood creaks. And when art is expected to exist easily, this show exposes those rusty foundations. Unsteady negotiations were made. Works teeter back and forth. Walls crack and crumble. These structures begin their journey to obsoletion. The microscopic, the hidden are there instead. Yet, there’s an intimacy in the decay, in the path to nothingness. Decay. It gives you nothingness—as much as you desire.
Presented by DoVA and Logan Center Exhibitions with the support of UChicago Arts.
