Logan Center Gallery

The University of Chicago’s Department of Visual Arts and Logan Center Exhibitions present the first of two 2015 MFA Thesis Exhibitions: Go Away, Ghost Ship! features works by Alex Calhoun, Autumn Elizabeth Clark, Zachary Harvey, and Sara Rouse.

The work in this show ranges across a wide array of subject matter and construction, but there is common purpose. The four artists seek to provide insights into what otherwise may remain invisible. The journey of inquiry has begun. The ship has set sail.

Presented by Logan Center Exhibitions and DoVA
