Marisa J. Futernick: Concession
January 15–February 14, 2025

The Mary Ed Mecoy Hall Gallery
Murray State University
S. 15th Street, Murray, KY

The Murray State University Galleries and the Department of Art & Design are pleased to present the solo exhibition Concession, featuring recent work by Los Angeles-based artist Marisa J. Futernick. Coinciding with the 2025 Presidential inauguration, this exhibition considers ideas of political failure through works including Concession, a photographic installation in which Futernick uses her own body to assume the identity of failed Presidential candidates. These staged photographs are paired with texts that weave together quotes from actual concession speeches with fictional lines that the artist has imagined.

Futernick will give an artist talk on Monday, January 27 at 12:30pm in Fine Arts Room 621.
