When someone is applying to art school, they usually decide to focus on a specific medium. It’s one way to hone in on the bigger picture of what their art is about; to major in every medium because the student can’t pick one is problematic.

Dubbed as a “new phase for the secret international art club that is DFW,” the show is a collection of works focusing on performance, drawing, film and writing that’s as vague as a tweet that reads: “lol wtf tbh tfw yolo idk.” The show includes pieces by DFW members Ara Peterson, Rose Luardo, Isaac Lin, Ivete Lucas, Patrick Bresnan, Jessica Ciocci, Jacob Ciocci, Lily Quan, Dan Murphy, Ben Jones, Ken Kagami, Emilia Brintnall, Jesse Geller and Andrew Jefferey Wright.
