Parsons Fine Arts MFA thesis exhibition begins March 30

Parsons Fine Arts will hold its 2025 MFA Thesis Exhibition titled "Re: Turning" from March 30 to April 19. The exhibition is curated by P! Krishnamurthy, who aims to showcase the work of emerging artists grappling with the themes of transformation and artistic practice. The exhibition explores the idea of "turning," reflecting on how artists revisit past ideas and influences while creating new work. Thirteen artists included in the show, such as Andrew Samuel Harrison and Faith Henderson, are investigating these concepts together. Krishnamurthy relates the exhibition to the song "Turning Point" by Kevin Eubanks, expressing how music can inspire a sense of creative exploration. The artworks in "Re: Turning" are described as being in flux, reflecting a journey through time and understanding. The MFA program at Parsons is cross-disciplinary and focuses on expanding the artistic horizons of its students. The program engages students through various activities, including critiques and seminars led by notable visiting artists. Parsons Fine Arts has received recognition for its quality, being ranked as the top college for art and design in the U.S. The exhibition invites visitors to ponder the complexities of artistic practice and the nature of transformation in art.
