The Mills College Art Museum invites you to join us this Saturday, May 2, 2015 from 6:00-8:00 PM for the opening reception of Terra Incognita: 2015 MFA Exhibition. Light refreshments will be provided.

The Mills College Art Museum is pleased to announce Terra Incognita, the 2015 MFA Exhibition on view from May 3-31, 2015. The term terra incognita, translated from Latin to mean unknown land, generally refers to unknown or unexplored territory. In cartography, it was a term used to define early maps of lands that had yet to be named or explored. For the artists in Terra Incognita, their individual research and art-making practice serves as a vessel for exploration, a method by which to traverse and delve into new, unfamiliar terrain.

Terra Incognita features work in a wide range of media––painting, photography, sculpture, installation, video, and performance––created by the emerging artists of the Mills College MFA in Studio Art Program. Students showcase a final body of work produced as the culmination of their graduate experience. This year’s presenting artists are Megan Enderschmidt, Jackie Farkas, Sara Kerr, Kevin Keul, Malena Lopez-Maggi, Dani Padgett, Christine Patterson, Rachelle Reichert, Miranda Robbins, and Jess Smith.
