The University Art Museum is delighted to present the 2024 Master’s of Fine Art thesis exhibition “Making as Knowing · When I was Here, Thinking of There” featuring an installation by MFA candidates: Karly Jean Kainz and Blanca Martinez. This exhibition is set to open on May 9th and will run through July 20th, 2024. In this two-person show, both artists explore ideas of home and personal ritual through repetitive actions tied together through layered connections to place. Viewers will be immersed in a full sensory experience as each artist transforms the space into their perceptions of domesticity.The NMSU Art Museum is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-4pm. Admission is free.
