At MA Curatorial Practice’s CP Projects Space (132 West 21st Street, 10th floor) and the SVA Flatiron Project Space (133/141 West 21st Street, ground floor), the exhibitions “cardboard: a meditation on medium” and “TOUCH” are on view through Wednesday, March 30, and Sunday, April 24, respectively. Curated by MA Curatorial Practice student Caroline Taylor Shehan, “cardboard” gathers the work of five artists who elevate the humble material from substrate to subject, unleashing its structural and aesthetic qualities to probe at the friction between artistic expression and what is known formally as craft. “TOUCH,” presented by BFA Visual & Critical Studies, revisits a 50-year-old project from visual and sound artist and SVA faculty member Connie Beckley, which she began as a young music student. Recorded vocal sounds, simple speaker panning techniques and the interactions of resonant frequencies inside curved glass suggest that individual sounds seem to occupy their own space, yet still intermingle.

Finally, at the SVA Chelsea Gallery (601 West 26th Street, 15th floor) from Thursday, March 31, through Monday, April 18, visitors can see work by BFA Cartooning and BFA Illustration students in “The Senior Show.” Curated by Anelle Miller, executive director, Society of Illustrators; Lauren Panepinto (BFA 2002 Graphic Design), vice president and creative director, Orbit Books at Hachette; and Viktor Koen (MFA 1992 Illustration as Visual Essay), chair of the participating departments, this exhibition celebrates the accomplishments of these soon-to-be graduates, and showcases the multitude of illustration and cartooning specialties they'll impact outside of SVA.
