The Katherine E. Nash Gallery at the University of Minnesota is proud to present else|where|else, an exhibition featuring the work of Aja Bond, Kayla J. Fryer, Mai Tran, and J Youngwood, who are about to complete their Master of Fine Arts degrees in the Department of Art at the University of Minnesota. else|where|else is a collective statement by the cohort reflecting and reacting to the world using their unique and personal backgrounds to display how they see the future of art, individual experiences, and community unfolding. The cohort presents works that individually showcase their past histories to ponder the current contemporary landscape using humanity’s past heritage as their compass.
Together these artists have created atmospheres and worlds unto themselves featuring paintings that stretch the whole wall, prints that span from ceiling to floor, and installations that break the boundaries of the given space. Bond creates community by instigating audiences to interact with their multiple full scale works with whimsical and childlike propensity. Fryer utilizes light, space, and materials historically tied to the American South to bear witness to her connection to Christianity. Tran carves Vietnamese motifs into descriptive landscapes of the American Midwest into wood to create large, immersive black and white prints. Youngwood’s paintings tip the scale of fantasy and depth to map spaces in ways that defy legibility.
An accompanying catalogue for else|where|else is currently in production and will be co-published by the Department of Art and the Department of Art History at the University of Minnesota. The catalog features the exhibition artists with essay contributions from Department of Art History graduate students Yi-Lin Cheng, Amy Meehleder, and Ranjeet Singh. else|where|else is made possible by generous support from the Harlan Boss Foundation for the Arts and the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota.
The Katherine E. Nash Gallery spans 5,000 square feet for the presentation of exhibitions and related programming that engage with a wide range of artists, scholars, and collaborative partners.

Mission
The Katherine E. Nash Gallery is a research laboratory for the practice and interpretation of the visual arts.
Vision
We believe the visual arts have the capacity to interpret, critique, and expand on all of human experience. Our engagement with the visual arts helps us to discover who we are and understand our relationships to each other and society.
The Katherine E. Nash Gallery will be a center of discourse on the practice of visual art and its relationship to culture and community — a place where we examine our assumptions about the past and suggest possibilities for the future.
The Nash Gallery will play an indispensable role in the educational development of students, faculty, staff, and the community.
History
Professor Katherine "Katy" E. Nash (1910–1982), a faculty member of the Department of Art from 1961–1976, proposed that the Student Union create a university art gallery. Founded in 1979, the gallery moved to its current location in the Regis Center for Art in 2003. Learn more about the remarkable life and work of Professor Nash.
