The MFA 2014 candidates of the Painting, Drawing and Sculpture Department at Tyler School of Art are pleased to present the group exhibition low rumble. The project was organized by the eleven participating artists with exhibition design by Christian Tomaszewski.
low rumble is a van full of emerging artists brought together by graduate school. It is a celebration of individual practices with the hope that there will be enough conversation to make the drive home enjoyable. Luckily we have some books on tape:
I no longer know that in my apartment there are walls, and that if there weren't any walls, there would be no apartment. The wall is no longer what delimits and defines the place where I live, that which supports it from the other places where other people live, it is nothing more than a support for the picture. [1]
A related publication titled low rumble 2013 will accompany the exhibition with a foreward by Philip Glahn. Neither roadmap nor user manual, the book offers a circuitous detour through the exhibition and lasting memento of the project. Copies will be available at the opening and closing receptions and by request.
Special thanks to Mark Shetabi and our Kickstarter supporters.

High touch is a term used in design theory to describe an accessible, human visuality. The book High Touch is a compilation of current work that is broadening and enriching this definition in a contemporary way. It presents a rich selection of innovative, often handmade design created with the full spectrum of materials and stylistic devices in existence today—all of which also strive to expand this palette of visual possibilities in a meaningful way.
Secondly, an article about Amanda’s work, written by artist Joetta Mau, has been included in the Fall 2012 Surface Design Journal.
Stand-Ins For Home highlights McCavour’s innovative work and creative process:
“Home is a place that we all yearn for at different moments in our lives. The installations of Canadian artist Amanda McCavour lead us down a road of nostalgia to revisit the fragile nature and memories of the spaces we call home.”

Robyn Weatherley's work has been selected to be a part of The Last Glass Show presented by the Glass Art Association of Canada (GAAC).
The exhibition, curated by artist and designer Ryan Legassicke, brings together a diverse group of artists and designers, professionals and hobbyist, all of which share a common interest in glass as a creative medium.
Glass is not an easy material to work with. It is one of the most common of materials yet it remains one of the most mysterious. It requires collaboration, cooperative studios, and an overall willingness to share ideas and information. It is highly inclusive and like all culture, it is a group activity.
This exhibition is as much about the culture that this organization supports as it is about how we contribute to it. The Last Glass Show offers a glimpse into the ideas and efforts that in many ways define our collective identity from coast to coast and beyond.
