East Carolina University MFA Thesis Exhibitions: Assembly Required and River Rat

Please visit the Greenville Museum of Art to see Anthony Naimo's Assembly Required and Morgan Zichettella's River Rat MFA Thesis Exhibitions on view March 3-31.

Join us on March 3 from 5-8 p.m. for the opening reception with artist talks and light refreshments.

Anthony Naimo’s Assembly Required, a mixed media series, is about imagination, community, impermanence, and reinvention. The works encapsulated within this body of art are fabricated almost entirely using waste-materials: rusted metallic oddities, mildewed comic books, and found images. An alternate future imagined using the materials of yesterday. It is a found-future setting which celebrates a scrappiness and ingenuity in people to think our way out of the impossible. 

Morgan Zichettella’s River Rat, a series of salt print photographs, depicts a glimpse inside the hidden moments of a lively yet peaceful ecosystem. The marsh holds an entire world within its borders—with its own citizens, visitors, and rules. The sounds of the wildlife, the rhythm of the water, and the breeze through the tree branches are its voice. Time feels as if it’s standing still when one feels completely immersed in this moment. River Rat shares this sense of wild serenity, bringing the viewer into the secluded world of the marsh.
