WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., May 10, 2016—The Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) presents Seen Yr Show: Senior Studio Art Exhibition, on view from May 14 through June 5, 2016. The exhibition features the work of 14 Williams College studio art majors: Aurora Brown, Marc Burnett, Ezequiel Davila, Andrea Estrada Bianchi, Mei Kazama, Angelina Lin, Jonas Luebbers, Winnie Ma, Julia Matejcek, Katherine Mooney, Clover Powell, Stephanie Sun, Brian Trelegan, and Kelly Wang. The senior studio exhibition celebrates the culmination of each artist’s senior project. The opening of the exhibition will take place on the evening of May 13 with a free, public reception at the museum beginning at 7 p.m. In addition, beyond the opening night of the show, Brian Trelegan will be performing a series of hour-long sound performances. All are invited to attend.

The Class of 2016 has worked in a wide variety of media including paint, digital photography, stop motion animation, drawing, video, sculpture, sound, programming and collaging, as well as the intersections of some of these media. They have investigated a range of themes that ask questions regarding the body, its representations and markers of identity, the relationship between technology and nature, and how to reckon with fragmentation and narrative. They have utilized repetition, distortion, humor, improvisation and chance, patterns, and objects as ways to explore such themes through their work.
