by Pratt Institute April 25, 2018

Detail of work by Rachel Cohen, graduate MFA candidate ’18.

Boiling Point is the fifth installment of Pratt Institute’s Fine Arts Department’s curated, off-campus graduate exhibition.

“The students’ work represents a range of media, from painting, installation, sound performance, and sculpture. This show considers the metaphor of turning liquid into vapor, in the case of artists leaving a graduate program, excitedly anticipating the release of their work into the ether of related discussions and concerns, circling a more expansive contemporary art world now within their reach.” — Regine Basha.

Opening Reception: May 5, 7-9pm

Gallery Hours: Thursday–Saturday, 12–6pm

Boiling Point opens on May 5 and continues at the Boiler (191 North 14th Street, Greenpoint, Brooklyn) through May 16, 2018.
