Kevin Curry‘s 3D Foundations critique will be held in the Fine Arts Building Lobby on October 2nd from 1pm – 3:30pm.

His work involves a mapping of sorts; an exploration centered on the mobility and authorship of memories, language and objects – a dialogue reflective of the intersection and location of place in our lives.
