            TCNJ’s Department of Art and Art History and the Art Gallery are pleased to present the 2012 Senior BFA exhibition, Enlarged to Show Texture, which will be on view from April 25 to May 4. The fifteen artists in the exhibition will give formal presentations on their work on April 25 from 2:30 – 4:30pm in TCNJ’s Art Gallery and Rooms 111 and 119 in the Art and Interactive Multimedia building.

There will be an exhibition reception on April 29 from 2:00 – 5:00pm.          

            The exhibition will be open Monday through Thursday 12:00 – 7:00pm, Sunday 1:00 – 6:00pm, and Friday May 4 12:00 – 5:00pm. Admission is free and open to the public.

            Digital artists Nate Schulte, Stephanie Stober, and Mark Dy combine sound recordings and storytelling into interactive, physical installations.

            Nicole Piznik and Sean Hughes reconstruct modern pop–culture icons like John Lennon and Gumby through ironic sculpture and video.

            Ceire Parker, Sarah Stryker, and Allison Tumminia explore Performance Art as a medium, utilizing femininity as the device to find relationships between body and mind.

            Kristen Cermele and Keri DeCorso emphasize the formal qualities of their materials, from rugged agricultural remains to brightly colored paper and wood.

            Selin Atay and Kristina Mercado utilize subject matter that emphasizes the personal, social and cultural significance of imagery.

            Matthew Pembleton and Keith Kostelny connect their work to distinct historic and artistic events, combined with strong references to contemporary material culture and modes of documentation.

            David Sutterley, finally, juxtaposes otherworldly, hyper–masculine characters with common activities to create a mundane, contemporary spectacle.

            The graduating BFA class comes from all across New Jersey, including Brick, Califon, Cinnaminson, Freehold, Jackson, Jobstown, Lumberton, Middletown, Newark, Pennington, Princeton, and West Windsor
