Painting by Anne Austin Pearce “Information comes to me primarily through a side door, in an ephemeral and second-hand way. I string together pieces of conversation collected from those who are informed or like to think they are. As I have listened to conversations about the addition to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the hum of voices has risen in crescendo like cicada songs at summer’s end. The exterior of the building awes me. Its modern simplicity and walls of glass provide a space for daydreams. The lenses rising from the ground allow me to see nature more clearly, free of distraction. They seduce my imagination toward the fantastic—a visceral permission rarely given in a culture bent on managing perception.” http://www.anneaustinpearce.com/
MFA recipient Jessica Wohl has work featured in the group show “Anthem” at Babel Art Space in Norway  “America is visible in many ways- news, television, and internet but all of these seem to project a common image. We think Trondheim citizens would be interested in the different ideas and visions produced by young American artists from every corner of the country working in various disciplines/methods. Their artwork is a fresh wind from the west on our local artscene that normally tends to blow in from a European direction.” http://www.babelkunst.no/index2.html Monster House. 2009. ink on stonehenge, 30 x 44 inches. http://www.jessiwohl.com/
