Swinging Mind, Unfolded Senses showcases artists from SAIC’s Low Residency MFA Program, now in its second summer.  If you are in Chicago do not miss this exciting group of international artists who call Chicago home for six weeks every summer.

Opening Reception: Friday, July 10, 4:00-5:30pm Location: LeRoy Neiman Center, Student Union Galleries, 37 South Wabash Avenue

Prompted by the novel Marius the Epicurean: His Sensations and Ideas (1885) by Walter Pater, this summer six artists from the MFA Low Residency program will explore sensations in relation to artistic process.  Each work in the MFA Low Residency Summer Exhibition is an intimate experience that uses the senses as a method of research.  The artists show how perception of materials and textures can reinterpret personal experience in time, space, and memory.
