Kim Karlsrud, “Amounting a salt” (2019)

The Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan is proud to announce the 2020 MFA Thesis Exhibition [*sometimes something*](http://bit.ly/2vANDVa?ref=hyperallergic.com), featuring work by Sally Clegg, Kim Karlsrud, Erin McKenna, and Abhishek Narula. This exhibition is a culminating moment in the 2-year Stamps MFA program. The opening night reception will be held on Friday, March 13 from 6–8 pm.

Individual exhibitions include:

- **Sally Clegg –** [***Auto-Affection***](http://bit.ly/38sRAIS?ref=hyperallergic.com)  
Through sculpture, painting, and video, Clegg teases out the theoretical and material relationships embedded in pursuits of self-experience and pleasure.
- **Kim Karlsrud –** [***HERE***](http://bit.ly/32WUC6K?ref=hyperallergic.com)  
Using vernacular landscape materials, Karlsrud explores the dynamics of urban ecosystems through site-based interventions and multi-media installations.
- **Erin McKenna –** [***finding the shape of the overlap***](http://bit.ly/2TFoa4K?ref=hyperallergic.com)  
Using bolts, beads, plywood, fringe, house paint, sequins, chain, and nail polish, McKenna makes unwieldy sculptures that bring languages of embellishment and function into unexpected dialogues.
- **Abhishek Narula –** [***You are (not) here***](http://bit.ly/2PRpOiL?ref=hyperallergic.com)  
Materializing and visualizing the ethereal landscapes of our smartphones, Narula disrupts the grip the smartphone has on us, creating a critical distance that enables us to reflect on what we cannot see.
