| The first in a series of four UIC MFA Thesis Exhibitions in Studio Arts, Photography, Moving Image, and New Media Arts. March 13-17, 2012 Reception: Friday, March 16 5-8pm Mary Helena Clark is a filmmaker whose work explores narrative tropes, the materiality of film, and the pleasure of tromp l'oeil. She has exhibited at the Wexner Center for the Arts and the National Gallery of Art and her films have been screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and the New York Film Festival 2010: Views from the Avant-Garde. Tiffany Funk makes use of diverse technological mediums in order to explore how we invent, mobilize, and navigate the troubled symbiotic relationships we share with our technological tools.

Funk received a BA in Film from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and an MA in Art History from the University of Chicago. Anthony Koerner grew up in Chicago riding bikes and exploring as much as he could with every opportunity.

Working primarily with plaster, wood, and concrete, he creates fragmented human figures.
