WHAT MADE IT

THROUGH THE FIRE

New Work from the UIC MFA Program

April 6th, 2010

While the MFA program at the University of Illinois at Chicago is relatively small, it provides an intimate site for the exchange of ideas and methods of working. This screening consists of a selection of moving image work from the 2010 graduating class, featuring films and videos by Olivia Ciummo, Nick Harvey, Rebecca Mir, Michael Morris, Orson Panetti, and Michael Sirianni. These works construct a kind of portrait of this educational microcosm, visiting themes of loss, longing, doubt, transcendence, and light.
