UMBC’s INTERMEDIA AND DIGITAL ARTS (IMDA) Masters Program presents “The Only Way Out Is Through,” the 2025 IMDA MFA Thesis Exhibition.

Artists' Reception

Please join us at the CADVC gallery for a public reception with the artists on Thursday, March 27th, 5-7 pm. The thesis exhibition features five artists with diverse artistic practices and approaches: McCoy Chance, Ahlam Khamis, Ghazal Mojtahedi, Alexi Scheiber, and Mariia Usova.
Since the inception of the IMDA MFA Program at UMBC in 1992, the exhibition is presented each spring semester. Past exhibitions have included installation, performance, film, video, photography, animation, interactive art, sculpture, audio works, painting, drawing, and print media.

Please mark your calendar for these additional events associated with the exhibition and note that some programs occur *after* the close of the exhibition.

RTKL Lecture: Alexi Scheiber
April 15, 12:30-1:30 pm

The gallery will remain open until 5 pm following the lecture.

The CADVC gallery is also the site of the annual “RTKL Lecture,” a fellowship lecture made possible through the generosity of RTKL (Rogers Taliaferro, Kostritsky, & Lamb) Associates Incorporated. The goal of this merit-based award is to support an emerging artist of creative and scholarly excellence who has demonstrated a promise to make an impact on the field. This year’s recipient of the RTKL fellowship is Alexi Scheiber.

Audience members are respectfully requested to wear a mask during this event, so the speaker may remove her mask for optimal audibility and communication. CADVC realizes masking is a personal decision and ultimately lies with each individual.

Live Improvised Musical Performance
April 4, 1-1:30 pm

As part of “The Dead, The Living, and The Injured,” musicians Patrick Crossland, Ida Dierker, Brandon, Gouin, Jeremy Keaton, and Josh Weber join McCoy Chance for a collaborative performance exploring the lifespan of discarded electronics. They will engage with the screens and media works in the exhibition through live improvisation. The performance begins promptly at 1:00 pm on Friday, April 4, 2025, and will conclude in the Fine Arts Amphitheater immediately outside the gallery,—rain or shine—by 1:30 PM. The gallery remains open to the public from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

For more information and the full list of associated events, including MFA thesis defense times and additional hours of operation, please visit our website at cadvc.umbc.edu/mfa-2025.

Tomashi Jackson and Nia Evans: “Pedagogy Study Hall”

In collaboration with policy analyst and economic advocate Nia Evans, Tomashi Jackson’s “Pedagogy Study Hall” project will host a series of intermedia series of public discussions about investment and disinvestment in the arts and humanities, looking to Baltimore as a critical case study in grassroots organizing in a system of gross structural inequity.

Baltimore offers a critical forum for exploring a range of formal and informal organizational approaches to arts education and community development through the arts. It also provides an important model for exploring informal cultural economies that support local art education and production in the interstitials between, and in the absence of, major financial investment.

Public programs associated with this residency:

February 25, 6-7pm: Conversation with Tomashi Jackson and Nia Evans, Lion Brothers classroom, downtown Baltimore.

April 8 evening: conversation about structures of cultural support with Ryan Patterson, Nick Hartigan, and Denise Griffin Johnson, at the Lion Brothers classroom in downtown Baltimore.

Registration details will be announced.

April 15, live online, evening: Panel on public funding in arts and education.

Registration details will be announced.

All events are free and open to the public.

If you need any specific accommodations to experience an exhibition or one of our events, either online or in person, please contact CADVC at cadvc@umbc.edu or 410-455-3188 as soon as possible.

The Intermedia and Digital Art (IMDA) MFA program provides participants with access to eminent faculty, visiting artists, critics, and curators, studio space and state-of-the-art facilities.

Recent graduate students have pursued issues of food justice, surveillance, place, language, economics, and technology, resulting in projects that use a range of traditional gallery-based art media as well as experimental modalities, like street interventions, distributed networks, physical computing, games, and community-based projects. Financial support, including tuition remission and stipends, is available.

IMDA is committed to making its events accessible to everyone. Please send your request for specific accommodations to imda@umbc.edu.

Building, Baltimore

The Center for Art, Design, and Visual Culture at UMBC (CADVC) hosts an exploratory research residency that allows artists and interdisciplinary collaborators to take advantage of scholarly resources and to build partnerships at UMBC and in the Baltimore region. Artists In Residence (AIRs) are invited to pursue open-ended outcomes, and their engagements may develop into workshops, artworks, or other future projects.

This season, CADVC welcomes three low-residency AIRs who are developing research and creative projects in UMBC and Baltimore. The visiting artists will offer programs open to the general public in the UMBC Lion Brothers building in downtown Baltimore.

Paul Rucker

Paul Rucker is a multimedia visual artist, composer, and musician. His practice often integrates live performance, original musical compositions, and visual art installation. For over two decades, Rucker has used his own brand of art making as a social practice, which illuminates the legacy of enslavement and its relationship to the US prison industrial complex.An avid collector of artifacts and archives, Rucker holds more than 15,000 pieces about the history of the United States. Items that address false narratives of US history and the strategic withholding of historical events are used as a tool of "demonization for colonization." His research visit to Baltimore will focus on Baltimore County and the history of "coordinated exclusion."

Paul Rucker and artist Kim Rice had a public discussion about their research into the history of urban redlining. Rucker and Rice discussed a project-in-process focused on discriminatory real estate practices and the power of art to change spatial injustice.

Tomashi Jackson

Tomashi Jackson is an expanded field painter whose multimedia work investigates the links between history, materiality, and current events. In her residency at CADVC, which began in 2022, she has been developing a body of research focused on the history of and advocacy for alternative art spaces. This work builds on Jackson's existing research that she calls the "Pedagogy Study Hall" project. The project is ongoing.

February 20, 5:30pm: Join Tomashi Jackson for a discussion about her present research. Jackson will be in conversation with Dr. Nicole King, Associate Professor of American Studies and Director of the Orser Center for the Study of Place, Community, and Culture at UMBC. Spaces are limited. RSVP required at this link: https://forms.gle/wqSCicNmUHYCvApb9.

Levester Williams

Levester Williams is a multimedia artist whose artistic production is rooted in explorations of the relationships between the material and social worlds. His sculptural work and multichannel video projects have been exhibited in museums and art spaces nationally and internationally. In the 2023-2024 academic year, Williams is making a series of visits to UMBC and Baltimore to complete a new filmic work under the project title "dreaming of a beyond: Baltimore." Williams is researching the histories of Cockeysville (Maryland) marble, a material used in many salient objects in the local built environment, including the Washington Monument and iconic exterior steps of Baltimore rowhomes. The movement art documented in Williams's film is an embodied consideration of the labor histories, and mythologies, surrounding this complex material. In Williams's words, the project underscores the "intertwined history of African-Americans' plight to self-determined agency and full citizenship, and a rather benign stone."

March 5, 6pm: Levester Williams will be in conversation with collaborators on his current work in progress, "dreaming of a beyond: Baltimore"(2021-2024). Other discussants will be announced. Spaces are limited. RSVP required at this link: https://forms.gle/cV5xEnT572A2e9zNA
