"Sincerely Yours,": MFA 2013
Sincerely Yours, illuminates ways in which contemporary art can separate genuine expression from strictly sentimental or sardonic connotations, revealing sincerity to be a subversive strategy. The exhibition’s eight contributors—the 2013 Master of Fine Arts candidates at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill—employ this mode to confront both personal and proscribed issues and engage timely topics such as social prejudice, sexual confinement, capitalist hegemony, outmoded forms of expression, and estrangement from one’s cultural roots and the natural environment.
