Black Box Warnings features the undergraduate thesis works of students

Izzy Martinez and Natalie Rohman, and their mentors, UMA alumni artists Aylah Ireland (‘17) and Tanya Russell (‘11).

The exhibition’s title addresses a range of ominous traces. Black box warnings are the pharmaceutical industry name for symptom warnings printed on prescription medication; the “black box” of an airplane preserves a record of disaster; and the term can serve as a shorthand for an unknowable mechanism operating in darkness. The four artists included in the exhibition each deal with the unknown, suspenseful, mysterious, recoverable and irrecoverable memory, and the limits of seeing.
