Mahwah, NJ- On Wednesday, November 6, 2024 the Ramapo Curatorial Prize exhibition cut scene, a pseudonym for structure, opens in the Pascal Gallery of the Berrie Center at Ramapo College. The opening reception is from 5 to 7 p.m. There will be a curator’s talk at 6 p.m. The exhibition continues on view through December 11.

cut scene, a pseudonym for structure questions the ways social infrastructures give the impression of historical continuity. The exhibition features sculptural and lens-based practices that disregard narrative unity and structural integrity. Exhibiting artists are Nairy Baghramian, Jason Hirata, Christie Neptune, and Manfred Pernice.

According to curator Katherine C. Adams, “cut scene is full of artistic gestures that release us from unifying fictions, exposing fault lines where we might once have seen a smooth operation. Featured works are unconcerned with their own closure as objects or events, instead prioritizing moments of temporal collapse and architectural breakdown. “

Curator Katherine C. Adams won the Ramapo Curatorial Prize, which is awarded each year to a second-year graduate student, at Bard College’s prestigious Center for Curatorial Studies.

Regular Pascal Gallery hours are: Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 1-5 p.m. and Wednesday 1-7 p.m. For further information contact Sydney Jenkins at 201-684-7147.
