Studio, stand with our community of students, faculty,

injustice. We pledge to act in solidarity with those
who seek to end racism and achieve equity and justice for
all.

Jessica Segall is a multi-disciplinary artist
based in Brooklyn, NY. Her work is often sited in hostile and
threatened landscapes. By embedding her work in these sites, she
plays with the risk of engaging with the environment and the
vulnerability of the environment itself. She has exhibited
internationally, most recently at the Fries Museum, The Coreana
Museum of Art and The Havana Biennal.
Xu Bing is a visual
artist internationally recognized for his experiments with
written script. Xu garnered international attention in the late
1980s for his experiments with the Chinese written script created
using woodblock carving and printing to produce a series of
nonsensical characters. Since then, Xu has explored the ways in
which the written script bridges different systems of writing and
engages audiences across different cultures.
