The Art Galleries at TCU presents Embodiment: The Personal and Universal Body. The exhibition will be on view at Moudy Gallery from January 18 to February 3, 2024, with a reception on Thursday, January 18, 5-7pm. Co-curators Abby Bryant, Alex Monge, Gabi Kaminski, and Katie Perroni will give a talk during the opening reception at 5:15 pm

For the first time at Moudy Gallery, Embodiment brings into productive conversation works from two neighboring MFA programs, Texas Christian University and University of Texas at Arlington. In Embodiment, the role and significance of the body acts as a guiding thread between the diverse works of ten local, contemporary artists. 

This exhibition features four TCU and six UTA MFA Graduate students, and displays a range of media, including painting, mixed media sculpture, digital collage and photography. TCU artists include Alfredo “Freddy” Ortega, Raul Rodriguez, Eli Ruhala, and Lauren Walker. UTA artists include Emily Brown, Paula Currie, Shuang Gou, Nijal Munankarmi, Michael Scogin, and Brandi Alyson Simpson.

Please join us for educational programming: For TCU students and faculty, a screening of “How Do We Look?”, hosted by renowned British classicist Mary Beard, will take place at 5 pm on January 30 in Moudy North Room 132. On February 3 at 1 pm, curators will host an artists’ talk with a selection of UTA and TCU MFA artists in the Moudy North Building Room 132. This will give artists an opportunity to speak about their artwork independently as well as in relation to one another’s work.

Moudy Gallery is located in Moudy North Building TCU’s Campus, 2805 S. University Dr., Fort Worth. Gallery Hours are Monday - Friday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Saturday 1-4 p.m. and by appointment. Admission is free.
