Incubation Series, "Vestige" Opening Reception
Exhibition - Jan. 20th to Feb. 11th, 2023
Curated by Emma Nell Jacobs and Lynette Qiuyang Shen
A vestige is that which is left behind: a reminder of a medical process, the tracks of a zoo animal,the detritus of industrial change, or the remnants of color across a dense canvas. This exhibitionpresents the work of four artists who explore such haunting traces as they are left by organic andinorganic forms. These works evoke damage and regeneration through new configurations,oscillating between sustaining life and sapping it. Through the mediums of painting, sculpture,and video installation, Min Baek, Mae Eskenazi, Adrienne Reid, and Vy Trịnh ask us toconsider the entanglement of bodies and materials in our contemporary environments—andwhat survives in the wake of these encounters.
"Vestige" features the work of UPenn MFA candidates and is co-organized by Emma Nell Jacobsand Lynette Qiuyang Shen. It is the nineteenth exhibition in the Incubation Series—astudent-led initiative that fosters new ways of making, exhibiting, and seeing art.
