The Stamps MFA Cohort ‘25 created an artist catalogue titled stop-loss, documenting our thesis exhibition. The idea was born from a collective desire to bring our projects to print while understanding our work within the context of contemporary art theory. The book features seven second-year Stamps MFA students: Hannah Buchanan, Sam Griffith, Andy Maticorena Kajie, Laura Mackie, Okyoung Noh, Charlie Reynolds, and Darren Spirk. Each artist has four pages featuring photographs of their thesis exhibition in the Stamps Gallery. Wall text from the thesis show is juxtaposed alongside exhibition photos taken by Andy Maticorena Kajie. In addition to the MFA students, we also asked Stamps faculty, staff, and collaborators to contribute writings that analyze how the theses connect to each other and our current socio-political climate, including themes such as loss, climate futures, identity, politics, and landscape. The catalogue itself is about 50 pages, designed by Detroit-based designer Emily Anderson with the inclusion of thesis exhibition graphics by Sam Griffith. Detroit’s Inland Press printed 150 copies of the 5.5” x 8.5” saddle-stitched catalogues. This project is a way for us to reflect on and examine our work and the work of our peers, which merge visual practice with critical inquiry to foster dialogue.
