The H. F. Johnson Gallery of Art at Carthage College is hosting its first round of spring senior thesis exhibitions, featuring the work of graduating students Jake Janovicz, Mauricio Rebollar-López, and Aj Stockdale. The showcase includes a diverse range of media, from Janovicz’s photography and animation projects titled “Stop and Think” and “Distraction,” to Rebollar-López’s politically charged multi-media installation “Oh American the Great,” and Stockdale’s interactive digital and found-object assembly titled “Trepidation.”
These exhibitions represent the culmination of undergraduate study for emerging artists, providing a platform for them to present their research and technical skills to the public. By highlighting themes ranging from social commentary to interactive gaming and digital media, the event underscores the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary art education and serves as a critical professional milestone for students entering the art world.
