Arts & Culture, Went There

WENT THERE: Decadent Banality: A Retrospective of the Local @ Crafts House (Tufts)

by

DECADENT BANALITY: A RETROSPECTIVE OF THE LOCAL , a pop-up show of prints, photos, performance and more was curated by Elaine Sun and Haillie Gluk. The show featured work from over a dozen local artists in the lounge of the Tufts University Crafts House, an on-campus space that is always full of creativity. The artists are primarily current students and alumni of the Tufts/SMFA Combined degree program. Sun says she got the idea for the show from a conversation about the lack of spaces at Tufts where students can show their work, so she organized the art event takeover of what is normally a living space.

I stopped by early on in the event before it was in full swing, but Coorain Devin kindly did his performance piece early for me. Devin recently started a reality TV show, Coloring Coorain, exploring the complicated balancing act of his life as an emerging artist and was signing photos with lipstick kisses for his adoring fans.
