Get Out: Nine Artists from Midway Studios, University of Chicago

July 16 – August 9, 1998

This exhibition presented work by nine students graduating from the University of Chicago’s Midway Studios. The culmination of two years as Master of Fine Arts students, Get Out represented a variety of concerns of the studio art department. It also reflected the pluralism of contemporary artistic practice: the use of media once considered non-traditional (such as video, computers, and found objects), an interest in temporality that took the form of short-lived installations, and the exploration of performative work. Get Out featured Kurt Andernach, Victoria Beal, Jessica Buben, Noelle DeLage, Shawn Dubay, Julie Nauman, Zena Sakowski, Steve Wetzel and Amy Zucker.

Curator: Get Out was organized by Courtenay Smith with assistance from Amy Bingaman, Curatorial Intern and MFA Coordinator. A color brochure with an introductory essay by Smith accompanied the exhibition.

Get Out was made possible through the support of the Visiting Committee on the Visual Arts at the University of Chicago.
