The Katherine E. Nash Gallery at the University of Minnesota is proud to present see through love, an exhibition featuring the work of Sarah Abdel-Jelil, Justin D. Allen, Anna Clowser, alter hajek, Sarah Hubner-Burns, Roya Nazari Najafabadi, and Marcus Rothering, who are about to complete their Master of Fine Arts degrees in the Department of Art at the University of Minnesota. Reflecting on the exhibition’s title, the cohort notes how this it describes their adoration and respect for each other, while serving as a way through which they see the world.
To see through love is to resist the constructs of identity and time, to recognize in time the marks that sew us up to our past, present, and future, and to celebrate the raw, unruly love that courses loudly in us. To see through love is to see with the wide-open and receptive eyes of your own heart. Like Arthur sings, “We are a see-through love / seeing through sun and haze / I see through to the totally clear end.”
