Clare Koury: If You Can Read This Thank The Phoenicians
Windgate Artist-in-Residence
August 27 - September 18, 2025
The task of the translator is tricky and threefold: translation, interpretation and transmission. One must decipher
meaning in context and through time, and minimize potentials for information loss in its delivery. At times legibility
is at odds with fidelity, and conversion degrades resolution of meaning. There is no lossless transfer and every
translation betrays the bias of interpretation.
X is a letter but also a question, an unknown variable that bears the treasure lost to time or deliberate obfuscation.
The problem of perception is simple: the more certain you are of what’s in front of you, the harder it is to see
anything else.
Put plainly, Seek and you shall find.
Nontsikelelo Mutiti: Friend of My Mind
October 8 - November 5, 2025
The Graphic Design department is delighted to welcome back Nontsikelelo Mutiti, celebrated artist, designer, and former Purchase faculty member, for her exhibition Friend of My Mind at the Richard and Dolly Maass Gallery.
Mutiti, who taught in the New Media program at Purchase from 2012 to 2017, has since become an influential figure in contemporary art and design. Currently the Director of Graduate Studies in Graphic Design at the Yale School of Art, her practice moves across media—print, typography, moving image, installation, and objects—bringing together traditions, archives, and community engagement.
Her work frequently revisits themes of African hair braiding as a living archive, a cultural practice, and a form of resistance, weaving together histories of displacement, belonging, and care.
Friend of My Mind
reflects this approach, inviting us to engage with memory, form, and social connection in urgent and generative ways.
