An alumni exhibition, a term so broad that it betrays nothing—the title Vehicle so specific, but so far removed from art that it does not tell what is shown either. Asserting a connection between the exhibited works in terms of content would be a fabrication altogether, which might be achieved with a great deal of skill but does not seem very appealing, since the artists are united by a shared past rather than by an affinity of their works’ contents.

In this context, vehicle means not only the (formerly) common place of production, materials or techniques but also describes the exchange and the resulting amazement at how differently we all work, although we all started out drawing and printing.
