First year HASTS student Jorge Palacios, a mixed-media scholar-artist who holds an MFA in environmental art and practice from the University of California, Santa Cruz, is featured in two upcoming gallery exhibitions taking place in Chattanooga, TN and Kansas City, MO, respectively.
From January 31st to March 7th, Jorge’s work will be on display at the 100,000,000 Gallery in an exhibition entitled “Bone Snack.” According to the curators, the artwork featured in the Kanas City-based exhibition represents “intensity and narrative in both concept and process.” Jorge’s submission was one of 36 selected from a pool of 140 artists.
From February 27th to June 6th, meanwhile, Jorge’s artwork will be on display at Stove Works in Chattanooga. The curators of that exhibition, entitled “Paradise,” write that the artworks featured challenge normative ideas about the future, offering “a queer reading of paradise that presents the idyllic as an endless possibility.”
