of memories of the past to learn from, the present to apply what we learn, and the future which
gives us the dreams and incentive to grow from the present. A collection of works of oil on
canvas are reflective of the artist’s vision and her journey in life.

His sculptures and drawings represent babies and children who possess adult-like features or an adult-like presence. Often, a dense fog or veil appears to surround the figures and smooth transitions echo memories of clear and crisp forms. This process of fabrication and manipulation produces representations that hover between people who are fully present in the viewer's world and ghosts that seem more distant and absent.

Through January 4: Adel Abdessemed: Situation and Practice: Algerian born artist Adel Abdessemed refuses to be limited to a single ideology or medium—he works across video, animation, performance, and sculptural installation. He passionately tackled religious, sexual, and hallucinogenic taboos as subjects in his early works. His later exhibitions have often focused on the theme of global violence. Although some consider his work to be performative, Abdessemed aggressively rejects this terminology, preferring simply to call his works "acts," recognizing the term's political implications. For his exhibition at MIT's List Visual Arts Center, Abdessemed will include a mini-retrospective view of some of his street "acts" as well as several new works created specifically for this exhibition.

His project is part memorial, part rescue mission: it seeks to resuscitate the material wreckage of our shared past, mixing and transforming historically-loaded artifacts and elements into regenerative works that reveal the fragments of hope embedded within.
