I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Edie Overturf and Cammy York, founders of the News Print Podcast for their latest episode on collaboration: Stop! Collaborate and Listen!
At the Mouth of a Room: The 2022 Roderick MacKillop Memorial Alumni Art Exhibition
Featuring works by Elizabeth Arzani '12 and Holly Keogh '14
"All the ways a line hallucinates its own linearity...The most insistent pressure. The body's refraction. The voice's. How they ridge, crosshatch, and section again. The dissociated self cannot be approached as an object. It cannot be laid out before us at the mouth of a room. The best we can do is trail its impressions."
-Danielle Vogel (The Way A Line Hallucinates Its Own Linearity)
Verbal language can often become lost in translation. The same can be true of visual language. What is clear can also be transparent and therefore invisible. Misunderstood, or mistranslated entirely. This room holds visual words that have yet to be spoken. It is up to the audience who enters this mouth of a room to interpret what is seen and create for themselves a sentence structure of lines, shapes, colors, and subjects.

Elizabeth Arzani and Tanner Lind’s work ask different questions about systems: both absent and present. Tanner’s abstractions create spaces that consider the balance between intention and unpredictability, asking questions about how things come to be. Alternatively, Elizabeth’s works on paper map the unknown in curvilinear detours, offering forms of communication that extend language. Off the page, curved forms are translated in ceramics that ask questions about the space of transitions; where things connect, are forced, or just won’t work.
I am excited to share that you will be able to find, At Finger’s End, a collaborative book I made with artist Tanner Lind included in Carnation Contemporary’s artist book fair curated by Hannah Newman and Kris Blackmore.
“The Extended Ear: An Artist Book Fair celebrates and questions the act of publication. At a time when everyone is making a podcast, releasing a vlog, or starting a newsletter, what does it mean to publish? What does it mean to publicly memorialize our thoughts, and why are artists in particular drawn to this act, whether through print, image, video, or sound? What is it about the art making process that so often leads to an output through print and language? Part of language’s power is in its ability to rapidly replicate, but does publishing become more or less powerful with access provided by social platforms and self-publishing options? Why is it culturally important to have a distinctive voice? And if everyone is talking, who is listening?”
Opening Reception is Friday November 5th at Goodyear Arts
6-9 PM | Free | Open to the public

“Some species of night-blooming flowers, such as Selenicereus grandiflorus, bloom only once a year for one night. This is a poetic counterpoint to a world where the next is always the now. The exhibition celebrates each artists’ individual journey from the seed of an idea to the tangible work standing before us.”
