  featuring works across the breadth of our program’s specializations\, from
  painting and photography to installation and video. The exhibition title p
 lays with the word fragments “grad” and “ex\,” inviting multiple interpreta
 tions and resonances. In contemporary and historical usage\, these words co
 njure not only graduation and former states of being\, but also the act of 
 proclamation—of speaking forth\, publishing\, and becoming.</span><span dat
