"Kahlil Robert Irving: Archaeology of the Present" features the artwork of St. Louis–based artist Kahlil Robert Irving. Clay-based works are at the center of Irving’s multidisciplinary practice, which examines digital media, memory, race, and Black life as subjects embedded in his ceramic sculptures. This exhibition features Irving’s new sculptures, videos, and paintings that together consider our relationship to the city street as a place and a concept, while also challenging constructions of identity and culture in the Western world.
"Slingshot: 2024 MFA in Visual Art Thesis Exhibition" features thesis projects by the Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art candidates in the 2024 graduating class of the Graduate School of Art in Washington University’s Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts.
