Underwriting support from:
On Dec. 10 during the Urban Lights event in downtown Grand Rapids on Division Avenue, twelve students from Grand Valley's Art & Design department will be curating and putting together a show titled "Reset."
This is from the artists:
"'Reset' will focus on the implications associated with breaking and fixing. The exhibit will explore the efficacy of solutions along with insightful representations of problems.
As a group of young artists situated in the Midwest experiencing the shifting economy, class struggles, and the anxiety of change we have found these problems to be universal yet no less concerning. In addition to commonality, these issues have a cyclical nature over time and culture. With "Reset" we intend to make clear just how problematic the acts of both breaking and fixing can be. Work needn’t comment on the Midwest specifically, but more on the possibility of what breaking and fixing can mean. The show will include the variety of ways in which the theme can function in either medium and/or concept. Submissions that address issues of race, gender and class are especially encouraged."

This exhibit is initiated by the Curatorial Studio, an undergraduate art class offered as part of the Visual Studies emphasis in the Art & Design Department at Grand Valley State University, located outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The curriculum explores the presentational, critical, and theoretical discourse specific to such practice within a studio context.
