Bibiana Saucedo and Guthrie Paulson, The 2024 Pougialis Award Exhibition: Revival

June 13- September 12, 2024
Closing Reception: Thursday, September 12, 5–7 p.m.

The 2024 Pougialis Award Exhibition: Revival invites viewers to reconsider the overlooked beauty of the mundane while also reflecting on significant life events and memories. Through a diverse array of mediums including painting, collage, sculpture, and found object assemblage, the exhibition breathes new life into discarded items that often go unnoticed. From broken glass and rusted scrap parts to imagery of familiar objects, Saucedo and Paulson recontextualize these everyday artifacts, offering a fresh perspective on their inherent charm and resilience. With Revival, the artists aim to evoke a sense of appreciation for the overlooked treasures of daily life and memories they may hold.

Bibiana Saucedo and Guthrie Paulson are recipients of the 2023 Pougialis Fine Art Award which is a yearly competition sponsored by the Art and Design Department that offers promising fine art students at Columbia College Chicago an opportunity to study as an apprentice with an established artist of national and international standing for one semester, a cash award, and a two-person exhibition.
