The CCS Student Exhibition is a thrilling celebration of creativity and innovation, showcasing over 3,500 unique works from CCS students and alumni.
Celebrating over 65 years of sculpting and foundry work at our institution, this exhibition traces the evolution and legacy of this art form. From the early influence of Walter Midener, a pivotal figure in the 1960s, to Jay Holland’s transformative leadership and mentorship, we showcase the depth of our sculpting tradition.
Seasons of Kinship, a dual show by Cyrah Dardas and Mother Cyborg (2019 Kresge Arts in Detroit Fellow), explores the power, temporality, and ebb and flow of relations within our ecosystem. Using natural materials grown by each artist, this exhibition is a testament to the intertwining and understanding between humans, land, and the ecosystem. A dinner table, a symbol of reverence, honors the lost knowledge and hidden stories in plant life. The use of natural dyes and paints in the tapestries and paintings reflects the reciprocity and symbiotic practices our human and non-human kin can create in relation. The artists’ work is a radical yet inspiring way of imagining a generative and knowledge-sharing way of being in a relationship with each other and the environment.
