“Manrat” is more than just a rat; he is an elusive and amorous spirit residing in the smelly underbelly of man’s city. Fluff N' Stuff and Cheddars are his wisecracking nest-mates who speculate about the motives of Manrat's recently developed depression. All the while, they search the south side sewer for dinner: that is until they run into Talia, licensed psychologist. The two rodent cronies agree to help her back to the world above… if she can first cure Manrat of his sorrowful affliction. Fluff N' Stuff and Cheddars, Manrat's supposed friends are counting on it, but Talia's life is also at play. Can Talia and Manrat find salvation together, or will all four be condemned to wade in the stink of their daily problems? And what about Cheddars and Fluff N' Stuff? Will they be able to scurry out of their own hang-ups and help a friend in his hour of need? Fear. Passion. Giant mutant rats. “Manrat” delivers all in a filthy, unforgiving comedy.

UC SCHOOL OF ART MFA GRADUATING SHOW 2015 — TEXTS AND PROJECTS
This collection of texts and images brings together the work of graduate students and faculty in art history, art education, and fine arts at the University of Cincinnati in the spring of 2015. We invited students in art education and art history to write accompanying texts for the final projects of their peers in the fine arts graduate program – projects encompassing everything from multimedia installation, abstract painting, video animation, fiber-based sculptural assemblages, photography, and drawing. The students’ projects were presented at the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, as part of the School of Art’s MFA Thesis Exhibition, which ran from April 1 and April 25, 2015. A process of looking, talking, looking again, writing, reading, and re-writing unfolded. Shorter versions of the texts were shown at the CAC alongside the artworks at the CAC. The process created a working space for artists and writers in dialogue, giving rise to new ideas and projects in turn.
