Join us for the opening reception of the Sesnon Gallery’s annual Irwin Scholarship Award exhibition, showcasing some of UCSC’s most promising young artists working in painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, installation, social practice, and digital media. The William Hyde and Susan Benteen Irwin Scholarship Fund was established in 1986, generating annual merit scholarships to further the education of selected UC Santa Cruz art students.
We send an open invitation for dialogue.
We recall our origins.
We invite the audience to ritual spaces.
We question the notions of luxury and wealth.
We reveal what authorities hide and what powers instill fear.
We question the bounds of the body and the spaces we take up.
We interrogate the logistics of urbanization.
We create awareness and dialogue alongside ecology.
We give honor to those individuals that are overlooked by society .
We seek reckoning and healing.
We find solace in abstraction.
We solicit and personify the ego.
We explore American landscapes through current technology.
