The first iteration of Max Avi Kaplan’s series Big Night For You? was conceived, produced, and exhibited at the Hochschule für bildende Künste, Hamburg. This work is composed of image object hybrids that invite an interactive exploration where viewer becomes voyeur and objects entrap images. Bronze Tinted Mirror engages the viewer in a meditation referencing the thinly layered illusions created by the veneer of a fractured glamorous image.
MAX AVI KAPLAN works with photography, sculpture and installation. He received a BA in Art History & Visual Culture, an MA in Costume Studies from New York University and an MFA from School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Kaplan’s work explores the psychological fragmentation of glamour as an illusion imbedded on the surface of designed objects that recede in space. He received an Art School Alliance Fellowship from the Hochschule für bildende Künst, Hamburg and more recently SMFA’s Boit Award. His work is exhibited internationally, most recently at the Yuan Art Museum in Beijing.

Map, Mapping, Mapped
A film by Tia Glista (Gallatin BA ’20)
“Map, Mapping, Mapped” is a dance film shot on Super 8 in Manhattan’s East Village and Downtown Manhattan. Against maps, guidelines, and conventions that determine the body’s movements and mobility, this dance film offers possibilities for discovering space autonomously, guided by impulse and imagination. It seeks to dislocate the viewer and make them think consciously and deliberately about how they experience space.

The mood of Quarantine Times
By Xinxin Zhang (Gallatin MA ’19, BA ’17))
“The mood of Quarantine Times — In this hazy and cinematic editorial, we follow our girl Tanya around her suite at the Chateau Marmont. In the beginning, we see her live under quarantine as if everything is normal: breathing fresh air on her balcony, sipping coffee, looking into the mirrors… until strange feelings hit and she has nowhere to escape her cage of boredom. In the optimistic ending of the story, she leaves behind the quarantined Chateau, lights up her cigarette and enjoys the return of her long-absent freedom.”

Porch Concerts: GO DOWN MOSES

Robert R. Peñaherrera (Assistant Director of Student Life)
A little something that I drew the other day. I love the world of animation, and I think as a medium, animation is a wonderful way to express emotions and tell stories. I’ve been watching this new show called The Owl House and created a little fan art of it. It’s a really escapist kind of show, and it’s been really nice to watch and kind of remove myself from the world for just a little bit! Anyway, just wanted to share it with you!
